1.25 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent 1.25 carat cushion shaped ruby, measuring 6.19 x 6.16 x 3.50 mm, is a refined example of precision cutting and strong natural color, offered by The Natural Ruby Company. The gem is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that combines geometric faceting in the crown and pavilion to maximize light return and scintillation. The cushion outline balances softened corners with a broad table, allowing the carefully placed brilliant facets to interact and produce lively flashes of red across the surface. The excellent polish enhances facet junction clarity, so light enters cleanly and rebounds through internal reflections, creating intense red highlights and subtle range of tones that emphasize the vivid color intensity. With a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, inclusions are minor and do not materially impede the gem s transparency or its capacity for light play. The stone has been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement that improves tone and saturation while retaining the natural origin characteristics associated with Mozambique rubies.

For the educated buyer, this ruby represents an attractive combination of visual performance and market attributes that underpin long term value. Mozambique is noted for producing rubies with robust saturation and vivid red hues, and this specimen exhibits those regional signatures, coupled with a mixed brilliant faceting strategy that maximizes brilliance and scintillation in a moderately deep pavilion profile. From a gemological standpoint, the durable corundum species, the precise facet geometry, and the excellent polish all contribute to strong potential for jewelry use, particularly in solitaire or halo settings where the cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant reflections can be showcased. At The Natural Ruby Company we describe enhancements and clarity openly, and we welcome requests for additional imaging, gemological reports, and bespoke setting advice to ensure the ruby meets collector or design objectives. This ruby is therefore well suited to buyers seeking a visually powerful, technically sound, and regionally distinct stone, offered with transparent disclosure and professional guidance.
