1.41 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

As a specialist at The Natural Ruby Company, I am proud to present a singular treasure that speaks to the heart of collectors and connoisseurs who understand that true rarity is more than a label, it is an experience. This transparent red ruby, weighing 1.41 carat, is a cushion shaped statement of natural beauty, measuring 7.18 x 5.17 x 4.06 mm. Cut in a refined mixed brilliant style, it captures light with a bold, lively fire while preserving the soft, classical silhouette of the cushion form. The gem shows an intense color intensity that reads as a deep, vivid red at first glance, and under closer inspection its excellent polish reveals a mirror like finish on each facet. Such polish and cut quality are the kind of meticulous finishing touches that elevate a fine ruby into the realm of the collectible, making this stone not just an adornment, but a possession to be treasured. When you wear a gem like this, you join a small circle of owners who appreciate the intersection of natural wonder and human craftsmanship.

The character of this ruby is further defined by its clarity and treatment, qualities that inform both value and beauty. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is slightly included, a condition that in the world of colored gemstones often conveys authenticity and depth of color, rather than detracting from appearance. These gentle internal features give the stone personality, a fingerprint from the earth that confirms its natural origin. The stone has undergone heat treatment, a widely accepted enhancement that refines color and clarity while maintaining the integrity of the crystal. Its origin in Mozambique is critical to its story, as Mozambican rubies have in recent years become celebrated for their rich tones and desirable crystal structure. This provenance matters to discerning buyers because it ties the gem to a known geological story and to a place that has produced some of the most compelling rubies in modern gemology. For those who collect with an eye toward investment and historical significance, owning a Mozambique ruby is a way to align beauty with provenance.

Beyond its technical attributes, this ruby offers exceptional versatility, moving effortlessly between casual and formal settings with a poise that few gems can match. In a relaxed daytime look it complements warm metals and leather, providing a vibrant focal point when set in a simple bezel or paired with smaller accent diamonds for understated elegance. In the evening its intense red and scintillating mixed brilliant facets command attention, soaring when mounted in a sculptural ring or a classic pendant that lets the light pass through the pavilion and ignite the crown. For bespoke commissions the cushion shape lends itself to vintage inspired settings and contemporary minimalist designs alike, allowing designers to create pieces that reflect a client’s personal aesthetic. This adaptability is essential for those who want a single jewel to serve many roles across a lifetime, from daily wear that anchors a capsule wardrobe to a statement piece for formal affairs. Owning this ruby is to possess a gem that is as comfortable at an intimate dinner as it is on a red carpet moment, a rare marriage of practicality and prestige.

There are few opportunities to acquire stones of this caliber that combine transparent clarity, intense color, thoughtful cutting, and a provenance like Mozambique, which is why availability is limited.

This ruby is offered as a stand alone treasure or as the centerpiece of a custom commission, and we are prepared to guide you through settings, metal choices, and design iterations that will showcase the stone to its fullest potential.
