1.71 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One transparent 1.71 carat oval ruby, dimensions 8.18 x 6.08 x 3.74 mm, presents a balanced combination of size and wearability, suitable for a wide range of jewelry designs. The stone is finished in a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that enhances scintillation while preserving a strong face up color, and the polish is graded excellent, promoting optimal light return across the table and facets. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal features that do not detract from overall visual appeal. Color is described as vivid in intensity, a rich, saturated red that remains consistent across the crown, girdle, and pavilion, and the material is transparent, allowing lively interaction with light. The ruby has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement applied to improve color and clarity, and provenance is Mozambique, a source known for producing stones with deep, pure red tones. The Natural Ruby Company supplies this gem with clear documentation of its characteristics, and the presentation reflects a commitment to accurate, verifiable information.

The rich, bold color of this ruby functions as a symbol of personal power and distinction, conveying presence without excess, and the stone’s vivid red hue reads as both formal and contemporary depending on the setting. At 1.71 carat and the shown proportions, the gem works effectively as a center stone in a refined solitaire, a classic three stone design, or as the focal point of a custom commission, providing a balance between visual impact and everyday practicality. Care considerations are straightforward, heat treated corundum responds well to routine professional cleaning, and set designs that protect the girdle and pavilion will help maintain the polish and ensure long term stability. The Natural Ruby Company presents this ruby with full specification, allowing designers and collectors to evaluate its suitability with confidence, and the stone’s combination of vivid color, excellent polish, and measured clarity offers a clear expression of individuality and refined taste.
