1.59 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a transparent, oval shape ruby weighing 1.59 carats, with exact dimensions of 8.28 by 5.69 by 3.88 mm. The stone displays a pinkish red hue with intense color intensity, and it benefits from a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and depth while preserving weight. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which results in strong visual purity for unaided inspection. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement applied to alter color or clarity. The ruby is of Ceylon origin, sourced from Sri Lanka, and is presented by The Natural Ruby Company.

Rubies combining this specific size and this particular pinkish red saturation, in an untreated state, are uncommon when compared to typical market offerings. Many Ceylon rubies present lighter or more purplish tones, and larger stones with the same degree of transparency and intense pinkish red color are notably rarer. At 1.59 carats, this gem occupies a size bracket that makes it highly versatile for fine jewelry, while remaining in a range where high quality, natural color is less frequently encountered. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize return of light and to maintain an even color distribution across the table and pavilion, enhancing the perceived intensity without resorting to heat or dye treatments. Given the very slightly included clarity at eye level, the stone offers a favorable balance between clean appearance and natural character, enabling confident use as a prominent center stone or as a refined accent in bespoke settings.

For clients seeking a naturally colored Ceylon ruby that stands apart from the more common smaller or differently hued examples, this gem represents a distinct option. Its combination of carat weight, measured proportions, untreated status, and intense pinkish red saturation makes it a rare and well specified choice, suitable for connoisseurs and designers who prioritize natural color and precise craftsmanship. The Natural Ruby Company can provide further images and measurement verification upon request, and the stone is suitable for secure setting with standard mounting considerations for an oval mixed brilliant cut ruby.
