1.54 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent 1.54 carat pear shape red ruby measures 8.72 x 5.93 x 3.75 mm, and it is offered by The Natural Ruby Company. The stone exhibits vivid color intensity with a very very slightly included clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, and no enhancement. The pear outline has been carefully faceted using a mixed brilliant cut that combines a precise brilliant style crown with a complementary pavilion configuration, allowing the gem to present saturated red through controlled light interaction. The proportions have been chosen to preserve depth of color while avoiding windowing, and the overall symmetry from tip to cusp is consistent with high quality design standards for pear shaped gems. Origin is Mozambique, and the combination of natural color and meticulous finishing yields a ruby suitable for a focal solitaire mount or a refined pendant setting.

The mixed brilliant faceting enhances the ruby inherent properties of light reflection by balancing dispersion, internal reflection, and color saturation. On the crown, a calibrated table and a network of kite and star facets are oriented to refract incoming light into broad flashes of red, while the lower facet arrangement redirects light back through the crown with minimal leakage. The pavilion facets have been executed to controlled angles that favor total internal reflection for the characteristic red wavelengths, producing intense face up color even under variable lighting conditions. The pear tip has been shaped to avoid light escape, providing a concentrated point of return that anchors scintillation along the length of the stone, and the shoulders have been faceted to create rhythmic brilliance moving from the tip to the rounded base. The excellent polish and tight facet junctions enhance contrast and crispness of the facet reflections, amplifying both bright flashes and darker contrast areas that make the hue appear more vivid. In practical settings the stone will read as intensely red, with lively scintillation on movement and stable saturation under direct and diffused light, features that reflect the cutter intention to maximize the natural attributes of this Mozambique ruby while preserving gemological integrity.
