At 1.52 carat this oval gem carries a weight that resonates with meaning, far beyond a number.

Weight governs rarity in the world of rubies, and 1.52 carat sits in a special place. Stones above the one carat mark do not simply increase in size, they become exponentially more uncommon, and their value grows accordingly, especially when they come from a storied origin like Ceylon, Sri Lanka. This ruby carries an old world soul, with a purplish red tone that tells of ancient soils and patient formation deep beneath the earth. Because it is unheated and untreated the color and clarity are the product of geological perfection and time, not laboratory intervention. When you choose a gem of this weight you are choosing authenticity, depth, and a story that will be treasured for generations.

Imagine the ease with which a 1.52 carat oval ruby can be set into a ring, a pendant, or an heirloom piece that will be worn every day and admired for its natural beauty. The dimensions of 7.36 by 6.50 by 4.18 millimeters make this stone substantial enough to be noticed, yet refined enough to sit gracefully on the hand. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize light return while preserving weight, a delicate negotiation that yields strong fire and a deep face up color. Slight inclusions visible at eye level are a hallmark of natural origin, and they lend character rather than detract, creating a private fingerprint that assures authenticity. The excellent polish elevates the look, sealing each facet with a mirror bright finish that magnifies the ruby's vivid hue.
