1.55 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This beautiful transparent C.Dunaigre certified Red, 1.55 carat round shape red ruby measures 7.08 x 7.02 x 3.77 mm, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color concentration. The excellent polish and precision faceting enhance light return, making the vivid color intensity appear lively face up. Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for an educated buyer signals natural internal characteristics visible only under close inspection but unlikely to detract from face up beauty in most settings. The gem has been heat treated, a well established and accepted enhancement in the trade that improves hue and clarity while maintaining the stone's structural integrity. Origin is Mozambique, a locality known for producing richly saturated rubies with strong chromium driven red tones and attractive crystal chemistry, and the C.Dunaigre certification provides independent verification of weight, measurements, clarity grade, treatment, and origin, giving the purchaser documented assurance of quality.

At 1.55 carats and with an effective face diameter around 7.05 mm, this ruby sits in a size range that reads as a true statement piece, large enough to command attention in a solitaire ring or pendant, yet proportioned for comfortable wear, supported by ruby hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale which makes it suitable for everyday jewelry with proper care. The depth of 3.77 mm produces a depth proportion of approximately 53 percent, a pleasing balance that supports both brilliance and color saturation, and the mixed brilliant cut further promotes lively fire while preserving color intensity. For the discerning buyer this combination of vivid color, eye level slightly included clarity, certified Mozambican origin, excellent polish, and a desirable 1.55 carat size represents strong aesthetic and market value, ideal for a bespoke solitaire, halo, or classic three stone design.
