1.51 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This 1.51 carat oval red ruby from Mozambique stands out in a market crowded with smaller, duller stones and heavily treated imitations, because its size, clarity, and cut combine to create a truly eye catching center stone. Measuring 8.07 by 6.04 by 3.54 mm, the oval shape offers a generous table that showcases its vivid color intensity and transparent body, while the mixed brilliant cut delivers exceptional brilliance and scintillation that many comparable stones lack. With a clarity graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with light performance, so the stone reads as clean and vibrant at a glance. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and light return, producing the lively, saturated red that collectors and designers prize, and the heat treatment applied is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the natural color without compromising durability.

When you want a statement piece that truly commands attention, this ruby is superior to many alternatives because its weight and proportions translate into presence on the hand or around the neck, unlike smaller or more included stones that lose impact once set. The oval silhouette flatters a variety of settings, elongating the finger in a ring and presenting a bold focal point in a pendant or cocktail piece, and the mixed brilliant cut helps it compete with higher priced stones by maximizing sparkle per carat. Compared with mass market rubies that are heavily filled, poorly cut, or muted in tone, this Mozambique ruby offers a rare combination of vivid color, transparent clarity, and expert finish that delivers both visual drama and long term value. The Natural Ruby Company invites you to consider this gem for a bespoke center stone, because size and clarity matter when crafting a statement piece that will be noticed and cherished for years to come.
