1.74 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

This exquisite translucent red ruby from Mozambique is offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company, and it presents a classic cabochon silhouette with a smooth domed surface and a striking internal glow. At first glance the tone reads rich and saturated, with an intense color intensity that gives the stone a vivid, velvety presence under a variety of lights. The polish is excellent, producing clean reflections across the dome, and the cabochon cut emphasizes the gem s depth and color rather than faceted sparkle. The overall effect is warm and lustrous, a ruby that will work beautifully as a centerpiece in a ring or pendant where the color can be admired in large, uninterrupted planes.

Technically this gem is a 1.74 carat oval, measuring 8.11 x 5.91 x 3.71 mm, with a clarity grade of included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural rubies and contributes to its character. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, so what you see is an authentic natural ruby from Mozambique, untreated and responsibly sourced. The combination of intense color, translucent body, cabochon cut and excellent polish makes this stone particularly well suited for classic and vintage inspired settings, where the deep red will be the principal focus. At The Natural Ruby Company we recommend settings that protect the cabochon dome while allowing light to reveal its inner glow, such as bezel or low profile prong mounts.
