1.75 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

The allure of rubies has captivated the world for centuries, holding a prestigious place among the realm of precious gemstones. Among them, the transparent 1.75 carat oval-shaped red ruby showcases a confluence of qualities that hearken back to some of history’s most renowned gemstones. At 7.79 x 6.53 x 3.73 mm, this ruby's proportions are ideal for harnessing light, reflecting it back with brilliance only achievable through a mixed brilliant cut. Such a cut is revered for its ability to maximize both brightness and fire, drawing out the inner life of the stone. It further boasts an excellent polish, an essential feature that amplifies its fiery display and enhances the viewer's experience. When compared to eminent historical rubies like the Black Prince’s Ruby or the Timur Ruby, it is apparent that our ruby competes in terms of vibrancy and craftsmanship.

The clarity grade of this gemstone is slightly included, meaning that it contains minor inclusions that are visible at eye level but do not detract from its overall beauty or structure. In fact, such inclusions, often invisible to the untrained observer, can affirm the natural origin of a ruby, distinguishing it from its artificially-enhanced counterparts. In the world of gemstones, clarity is an integral measure that contributes to understanding value, yet with rubies, the allure often lies in their color intensity. This particular ruby displays an intense color intensity, a trait that is highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors alike. Its vivid red hue is a testament to its natural origins, embodying the character and warmth that have historically made rubies objects of desire. The rich red can be likened to the famed Burmese rubies, renowned for their deep pigeon blood coloration, celebrated for centuries in royal courts and borne by esteemed rulers.

Originating from Mozambique, this ruby ticks yet another box that exemplifies its uniqueness. Mozambique is renowned for yielding gemstones of superior quality, a relative newcomer in the illustrious history of ruby origins next to places like Myanmar. The rubies from this region have garnered much attention for their durability and stunning coloration. Furthermore, the ethical sourcing from Mozambique ensures that the value of this gemstone extends beyond its physical beauty, promoting sustainable practices that respect human labor and environmental concerns. At The Natural Ruby Company, we pride ourselves on offering gemstones that not only dazzle with their aesthetic beauty but also meet ethical and environmental standards. This transparency with our sourcing is pivotal as we strive to present gemstones that discerning buyers can appreciate for both their craftsmanship and provenance.

Esteemed buyers understand that a gemstone's worth is not merely in its material composition but also in its storied existence and unrivaled qualities. As The Natural Ruby Company, we recognize that the value of this 1.75 carat ruby goes beyond what intersects the eye. This jewel encapsulates centuries of geological indulgence, historical significance, and an essence that has adorned the greatest of empires. Just as the ancients believed rubies to offer protection and prosperity to those who wear them, today they remain coveted trophies in any collection.
