1.38 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

You have been searching for a ruby that combines wearable elegance with collector grade presence, and this transparent 1.38 carat round ruby answers that search with confidence. Measured at 6.07 by 6.02 by 4.29 millimeters, the stone sits in the sweet spot for an engagement ring that reads as both bold and refined, and it also makes an exceptional loose gem for a collector seeking a vivid representative of Mozambique origin. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return, so you get lively scintillation and a deep, even face up color. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning that in ordinary viewing the stone appears clean to the eye while retaining natural internal character, and the excellent polish ensures that every facet carries light smoothly. The color intensity is vivid, presenting a pure, saturated red that is immediately arresting, and the gem has been professionally heat treated, which is the industry standard enhancement used to clarify and deepen color in rubies while preserving their natural structure.

When you consider famous gemstones of history, the comparisons help explain what makes this ruby uniquely valuable, without overstating its rarity. The rosy, vivid tone invites comparisons to the legendary rubies that have graced crowns and private collections, rubies that became symbols of power and passion, and yet this stone offers something different. Where the historic Mogok and Burmese classics are often prized for their pigeon blood saturation and storied provenance, this Mozambique ruby draws its strength from a modern surge in quality the world has seen from East African deposits, combining vivid saturation with an open, transparent body that produces brilliance more akin to a fine transparent ruby than to a heavily included, deep velvety classic. Think of the way the Sunrise Ruby captured attention for its extraordinary color and presence, and imagine a more intimate, wearable scale that still commands the eye. The mixed brilliant cut here plays the same role that master cutting played on other famous stones, transforming raw color into living light, while the excellent polish elevates facet definition so reflections remain crisp and lively. Unlike some historically famous rubies that are admired for sheer size and legend, this gem offers immediate wearable beauty and practical versatility, so whether your goal is a signature engagement ring or a significant addition to a collection, the stone does the work of creating an emotional and aesthetic impact the moment you place it in a setting.
