1.20 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Born from the depths of Mozambique’s storied land, this exquisite purplish red ruby began its journey amidst ancient geological formations. Through the ages, intense heat and pressure crafted this gemstone deep within Earth’s embrace, patiently awaiting its discovery. Revered for its captivating color, the ruby lay hidden, accumulating untold tales within its crystalline heart. Local miners, skilled and respectful of their heritage, unearthed this treasure with great care, bringing it into the light where its potential could truly gleam. Each miner’s touch, their commitment to honoring the land and community deeply woven into the very essence of this stone.

Upon emerging into daylight, the ruby revealed its secrets—a breathtaking purplish red glow, not only a testament to its origins but to decades of transformative natural artistry. At The Natural Ruby Company, our artisans took to the task of refining this raw gem with reverence and precision. Utilizing the asscher cut, they sculpted the octagon shape that would magnify its intense color intensity and exceptional polish. In the process, the gem’s very slightly included clarity was meticulously evaluated at eye level, ensuring that what lay beneath would dazzle with the brilliance of purity. Each slice of the cutter’s blade rendered the ruby with fats in symmetry, akin to an architectural wonder standing the test of time.

As this 1.20 carat gemstone makes its final journey to adorn its destined bearer, it brings with it the rich legacy of its birthplace and the skill of those who first brought it to light. Its dimensions of 6.18 x 6.01 x 3.33 mm encapsulate a narrative of earth and humanity intertwined. The ruby serves not just as a jewel but as a connection to stories that span the globe—from a mine in Mozambique to the artistry of our hands at The Natural Ruby Company. It invites you to become part of its journey, to carry forth its tale into every day that it graces with beauty and elegance.
