1.21 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

At The Natural Ruby Company we present a rare transparent 1.21 carat asscher octagon shape ruby, measuring 5.99 x 5.83 x 3.47 mm, that stands apart from the common market offerings for clarity and presence. The asscher cut octagon shape is a sophisticated choice for a colored stone, it offers a broad face up area that showcases the vivid color intensity while the stepped facets add depth and controlled brilliance. Compared with typical round or cushion rubies of similar weight, this shape maximizes the visual impact on the finger or in a pendant, and the excellent polish ensures clean reflective planes that catch light with a mirror like crispness. Many rubies in the same price range either sacrifice color saturation for size, or exhibit heavy inclusions that disrupt the table, however this Mozambique origin gem balances a vivid, lively red with a transparency that is uncommon at this carat weight. The clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level means the stone reads clean to the viewer, offering the aesthetic of a high clarity ruby without the premium of an immaculate specimen, and the heat treatment is a standard, stable enhancement that intensifies the natural chroma without compromising the gemological integrity.

For a customer seeking a true statement piece, the combination of 1.21 carat weight, generous 5.99 by 5.83 mm table, and high clarity is ideal, it creates a bold centerpiece that feels substantial yet elegant. In comparison to many smaller or more included rubies that require heavy settings to appear significant, this ruby needs minimal metal to make a dramatic impact, allowing contemporary bezel or vintage prong settings to highlight the stone itself. The asscher octagon cut also lends a refined architectural quality, which pairs beautifully with both modern and classic jewelry designs, making it more versatile than many highly included or poorly proportioned rubies. As specialists in fine natural rubies, The Natural Ruby Company selects stones that combine origin, enhancement disclosure, and cut quality, so you receive measurable value and superior aesthetics. If you are deciding between larger yet heavily included alternatives, or highly treated stones with muted tone, this Mozambique asscher octagon ruby offers a rare marriage of vivid color, excellent polish, and eye level clarity that makes it a commanding choice for an unforgettable center stone.
