The exquisite 1.19-carat ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company is a testament to the allure and timeless elegance of gemstones. This transparent ruby, with its alluring princess shape and dimensions of 6.15 x 6.14 x 3.07 mm, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that has gone into its cutting and polishing.

Such precision in cut ensures that the ruby exhibits its intense fiery red hues with remarkable vividness, captivating anyone who beholds it.

Rarity, an essential aspect contributing to the value of gemstones, is intrinsically linked to both external and internal factors. In this regard, the weight of 1.19 carats marks this ruby as a prized piece, boasting a substantial presence when set into fine jewelry. Larger rubies are considerably rarer than smaller ones, making this gemstone a significant find for connoisseurs and collectors. The carat weight, combined with the expertly executed princess cut, positions this ruby as a noteworthy choice for those seeking an exceptional gem that clearly stands out in both size and brilliance. This specific weight adds to the gemstone’s desirability, as it encapsulates the balance between elegance and audacity.

The clarity of this ruby, graded as very slightly included at eye level, attests to the high standards maintained in evaluating these precious stones. Inclusions in rubies are not uncommon and often do not detract from their beauty, as is the case with this gemstone. Instead, such inclusions can act as natural birthmarks of the stone, telling the story of its natural formation within the earth. For an informed buyer, this clarity grade signifies that while minor inclusions exist, they do not hinder the overall visual appeal of the ruby. This balance between rarity, size, and clarity greatly enhances the value of the ruby, ensuring it remains a treasured asset within any fine jewelry collection.

Lastly, the ruby’s origin from Mozambique adds another layer of allure and importance. Mozambique has emerged as one of the world's foremost sources of rubies, known for producing stones with vividly rich colors and excellent quality. The distinct red hue of this ruby, intensified by the gemstone's vivid color grade, speaks volumes of its superior origin. In selecting a gemstone from The Natural Ruby Company, one does not merely purchase a product, but rather acquires a piece of nature's finest artistry. The combination of impressive carat weight, clarity, expert cut, and prestigious origin collectively affirm why this ruby is a beneficiary of both beauty and value, appealing to both seasoned gem aficionados and new enthusiasts alike.
