1.43 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

At The Natural Ruby Company I am pleased to present a rare and beautiful natural ruby that stands out from the common offerings on the market, this one is a transparent 1.43 carat oval shaped ruby measuring 7.78 x 6.06 x 3.25 mm, it has a cabochon cut that accentuates its saturated red hue, its clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, it displays a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, importantly it is unenhanced and comes from Mozambique, the combination of transparency and cabochon cutting is unusual and provides a deep, velvety color appeal that many faceted stones cannot match, for buyers seeking authenticity and a more natural look this ruby represents an exceptional choice.

When comparing this piece to other rubies commonly available, the contrast is clear, many market stones are heat treated, fracture filled, or even synthetic, these enhancements can improve appearance but they also reduce long term value and sometimes stability, unenhanced rubies like this Mozambique gem retain their natural color and structure, they are less common and thus more desirable to collectors and connoisseurs, compared to typical heated Burmese or Sri Lankan rubies this stone offers a compelling balance between vivid color and natural integrity, compared to glass filled rubies it offers far superior durability and market esteem, compared to synthetic rubies it offers provenance and the natural inclusions that confirm its origin and story, at The Natural Ruby Company we emphasize unenhanced natural rubies because they represent both purity and lasting value.

The cabochon cut of this ruby should be highlighted as a distinctive advantage, while faceted rubies are designed to maximize brilliance and sparkle, cabochons are chosen to display rich, uniform color and a soft, glowing surface, this 1.43 carat oval cabochon is transparent enough that light travels through the stone and brings its vivid red tone to life, the included clarity grade means there are internal characteristics visible at eye level, however these inclusions do not detract from the overall beauty, they often add character and are an assurance of natural origin, the excellent polish gives the dome a mirror like finish that enhances luster and touch, for jewelry designers and buyers who want a piece that reads as both natural and refined this ruby is preferable to heavily treated stones and to lower clarity faceted stones that can look lifeless under certain lighting, the dimensions 7.78 x 6.06 x 3.25 mm make this gem versatile for a wide range of settings including rings, pendants, and statement earrings while maintaining comfortable wearability.

From an investment and emotional perspective this Mozambique ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is positioned to outperform many alternatives, unenhanced natural rubies with vivid color and good transparency are consistently sought after by collectors and by clients who appreciate authenticity, compared to similarly sized heated rubies this stone carries a premium due to its untreated status and its clear, vivid color, compared to larger but heavily filled or synthetic stones this piece offers confidence and resale potential because its natural origin and condition are easier to verify, the ethical sourcing from Mozambique and the presence of natural inclusions make it a stone with provenance and personality, our recommendation is to select a setting that complements the cabochon shape and color, warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold will enhance the red tone, a simple bezel or a low profile prong setting will protect the dome while showcasing its depth, if you seek further information or wish to view documentation or high resolution images The Natural Ruby Company is ready to assist, we can advise on certification options, bespoke settings, and long term care to ensure that this rare, vivid, unenhanced Mozambican ruby becomes a lasting and treasured part of your collection.
