1.42 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Throughout history, rubies have stood as one of the most coveted gemstones known to mankind, full of lore and admiration from cultures spanning across centuries. The term "ruby" is derived from the Latin word "ruber," meaning red, a color long associated with love, passion, and power. The vivid red hue of our C.Dunaigre certified 1.42 carat emerald cut ruby encapsulates this storied history in a way that is as unique as it is enduring. When we speak of historical rubies, images of the regal coronation jewels that adorned the crowns of kings and emperors come to mind. Our offering from The Natural Ruby Company possesses a valley of crimson synonymous with these legendary treasures.

This remarkable ruby, certified by C.Dunaigre for its authenticity, radiates a sumptuous vivid red color that rivals those of world-renowned stones such as the 'Black Prince's Ruby,' set in England’s Imperial State Crown, the stone believed to have been worn by battle-ready monarchs since the mid-14th century. Like its historical counterparts, our ruby is cut with the classic elegance of an emerald shape, a cut favored for its timeless appeal and ability to maximize the stone’s color depth and richness. Measuring 8.56 x 5.92 x 2.43 mm, it strikes a remarkable balance between size and proportion, ensuring the ruby’s exquisite fiery brilliance is unmistakable yet not overstated.

Red rubies have long been esteemed not only for their color but their symbolic meanings as well. This eye-clean ruby from Mozambique, with its vivid color intensity seen effortlessly when evaluated at eye level, recalls the legendary Burmese rubies, traditionally set into warrior armour to render the wearer invincible.
