1.75 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

When you are searching for a gemstone that will mark a milestone and then live on to tell the family story, this translucent Mozambique ruby answers that need. This one beautiful oval, weighing 1.75 carat, measures 7.84 x 6.03 x 3.62 mm. The pinkish red hue is intense, the cabochon cut adds a gentle dome of light, and the polish is excellent. Importantly, this ruby has no enhancement, a detail that matters deeply for collectors and for anyone who wants an unaltered gem to pass down through generations. At eye level the clarity is graded included, which means the internal features authenticate its natural origin rather than detract from its beauty. When you choose this gem from The Natural Ruby Company you are choosing a naturally formed jewel with provenance from Mozambique, and that natural history is part of the gift you hand to the next generation.

Visually this ruby offers a warmth and presence that works beautifully in both modern and traditional settings. The cabochon silhouette produces a soft color wash and a velvety shine that flatters the skin and reads as richly red from most angles, while the translucent body allows light to travel and animate the stone. The intense color intensity gives it stage presence even at 1.75 carat, and the oval proportions make it easy to set in rings, pendants, or vintage inspired lockets. The included clarity grade means you will see natural fingerprints of the earth, tiny internal features that are a signature of authenticity. These features catch light in subtle ways and make the stone uniquely identifiable within your family lineage, an organic signature that becomes part of its story.

For an engagement ring or a collector seeking a rare natural specimen, this ruby is an ideal solution. Rubies are second only to diamond in hardness, rating nine on the Mohs scale, and that resilience combined with the cabochon profile makes this stone well suited to everyday wear when mounted with care. A bezel setting protects the rounded edges and secures the gem, creating a wearable heirloom that will weather decades of life and be ready to be handed down. The fact that it is unenhanced increases its desirability as an heirloom, because you can hand on a gem that has not been altered by treatments. The Mozambique origin adds contemporary scarcity value, as these deposits are known for producing vivid natural rubies, and as custodians of fine rubies we at The Natural Ruby Company take pride in offering pieces that combine beauty, integrity, and documented origin.

Thinking about a piece that will carry your family story requires more than aesthetics, it requires a plan for care and for succession. We recommend a secure mounting with a protective setting for daily wear, periodic professional cleaning and inspection to maintain the excellent polish, and proper documentation including any laboratory or provenance details you wish to create. A hand written note, an engraved band, or a family ledger that records when the gem was acquired and the story you associate with it transforms the ruby into an heirloom with context. When you are ready we will provide guidance on mounting options and maintenance to ensure this Mozambique cabochon ruby continues to glow for generations. Let this gem from The Natural Ruby Company be the one piece that ends your search, and becomes the beginning of a new family tradition.
