This 1.38 carat round ruby is presented with precise measured dimensions of 6.07 x 6.02 x 4.29 mm, exhibiting a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant style crown with faceted pavilion facets, resulting in focused light return and well controlled scintillation. The stone is transparent and graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and it displays vivid color intensity across the face up view. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and minimal surface abrasion, and the piece originates from Mozambique, with enhancement limited to standard heat treatment to optimize clarity and color. Based on the measured dimensions the depth is approximately 71 percent, a proportion that contributes to the stone exhibiting saturated red tones without significant light leakage.
From a cutting and craftsmanship perspective the mixed brilliant design has been executed to balance fire and body color, the crown angles and pavilion facets working in concert to break and recompose light for optimal brilliance in a red hue that reads strong under standard lighting. The round outline is near perfect in symmetry, and the girdle proportions maintain structural integrity for secure setting. The measured weight to diameter ratio is consistent with dense corundum, approximately 0.228 carat per millimeter in diameter, which is an important metric for buyers who compare yield and visual size. The excellent polish enhances facet contrast, allowing the vivid color intensity to present as a pure red with minimal brown or purple modifiers, a characteristic often sought after in Mozambique rubies. The eye clean clarity grade indicates that internal features do not interfere with light performance at typical viewing distances.
Owning this ruby is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, as it combines rigorous cutting standards with a high color grade and documented origin, factors that underpin long term desirability and market value. For collectors and designers the stone offers both technical merit and aesthetic impact, suitable for high end settings where proportion, symmetry, and durable corundum hardness are critical. The Natural Ruby Company provides provenance and treatment disclosure, supporting the gemstone as a transparent acquisition that marries meticulous lapidary work with natural material rarity, an asset that performs as both a wearable object and a tangible store of value.
