1.39 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One beautiful transparent Other certified Pinkish Red, 1.39 carat, oval shape pinkish red ruby from the heart of Mozambique arrives like a poem in stone, a quiet promise captured in crystalline fire. The oval silhouette measures 7.93 by 6.06 by 3.16 mm, a shape that lengthens the hand and catches the eye with elegant symmetry. Its hue is vivid, a pinkish red that seems to glow from within, neither shouting nor hiding, but speaking in the intimate language of light and warmth. This gem is untouched by enhancement, a pure testament to nature, and it bears an excellent polish that sings whenever it meets a beam of sun or candlelight. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company, this ruby is a singular choice for those who seek an heirloom quality center stone that will hold stories and seasons alike.

To understand why this stone sparkles with a voice all its own, imagine the internal architecture of corundum, the mineral family to which ruby belongs, arranged in a lattice that bends and lifts light like wind through leaves. Tiny traces of chromium within that lattice are the alchemists of color, absorbing and emitting wavelengths that yield the pinkish red intensity you see. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this chemistry, marrying a faceted crown of brilliant style to a carefully angled pavilion that returns light with focused brilliance. Each facet edge has been honed to catch light, fragment it into scintillation, and release it back to the eye as a constellation of fiery sparks. The refractive character of corundum coupled with the precise facet geometry of the mixed brilliant design creates a scintillation pattern that is lively and layered, flashes of white brilliance and colored fire that move with every breath and every turn. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, inclusions retreat into the background, allowing the stone to perform, while its excellent polish ensures no surface grain interrupts the passage of light. This is a ruby that does not merely shine, it composes light into a romance, a private spectacle that feels both ancient and immediate.

For an engagement ring or a keepsake pendant, this ruby offers not only physical beauty but emotional resonance. When set close to the heart, the oval silhouette draws the eye inward and invites touch, while the vivid color reads like a blush of affection, a constant reminder of a deep feeling. Imagine morning light pooling on a tabletop, finding the stone and scattering a constellation across silver and skin. Picture evening, candlelight lowering the world and the ruby kindling like a small hearth, warming faces and softening conversation. The optic life of this gem is sentimental and theatrical at once, perfect for vows whispered and promises made aloud. The story of its origin in Mozambique adds another stanza, a provenance that speaks of geological patience and tropical sun, of rivers and time deep enough to yield such color. Our role at The Natural Ruby Company is to bring that story to you, to match a heart to a stone with care and with knowledge, combining the poetry of feeling with the precision of gemology.

As your guide and steward in this choice, I invite you to imagine this 1.39 carat oval as the center of a design that will be spoken of in years to come, set by artisans who respect the stone and its natural state, leaving its vivid color unaltered, its polish pristine, its mixed brilliant cut intact. The dimensions of 7.93 by 6.06 by 3.16 mm make it versatile and striking, large enough to command attention, gentle enough to live with every day. Because this ruby is not enhanced, because its clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, because its polish is excellent and its sparkle is born of both chemistry and cut, it will age into legend rather than fad. Allow The Natural Ruby Company to guide you through settings and mountings that will celebrate the stone rather than compete with it, to place it in a halo, in a bezel, or in a classic solitaire where its heart can beat openly. If you seek a gemstone that weaves light like lace and holds memory like a secret, this Mozambique ruby is waiting, a promise polished into form, ready to become the emblem of a life, a love, a beginning.
