1.87 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exquisite GIA certified red ruby from Mozambique arrives to you as a rare and distinguished offering from The Natural Ruby Company, a gem that immediately declares its presence with a vivid, saturated hue and refined proportions. Weighing 1.87 carats, shaped as a cushion and measuring 9.37 x 7.57 x 2.52 mm, this stone embodies the kind of measured scale that collectors and connoisseurs seek when hunting for something singular. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to marry the depth and charm of a classic cushion silhouette with the lively, modern scintillation of brilliant facet geometry. With a clarity graded as included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, this ruby preserves a jewel like authenticity, where natural inclusions serve as the stone's fingerprint, confirming its origin and authenticity, while the heat treated enhancement has been applied in a way that respects the gem's integrity and maximizes its innate color potential.

What sets this ruby apart from more common specimens is the interplay between its internal crystalline structure and the precise facet architecture chosen by the cutter to amplify light. Rubies are a form of corundum, a crystal matrix that inherently refracts and channels light with vigor, and when a mixed brilliant pattern is executed with exacting angles and proportions, every plane becomes a conduit for brilliance and fire. The cushion outline gives broad facet faces over the crown that deliver saturated flashes of color, while the pavilion facets, arranged for optimal return, direct light back to the eye in scintillating pulses. The excellent polish on each facet eliminates micro surface scattering, so light does not fade at the surface but is captured and sent back as lively, velvety red radiance. The result is a sparkle that is not merely bright, but complex and layered, offering both deep flashes of crimson and lively pinpoint scintillation that dances with movement, an optical personality that is unmatched by many stones of similar weight.

Owning this ruby places you within an exclusive circle of patrons who understand that rarity is measured by more than carat weight alone, it is defined by proportion, provenance, and the story visible within the stone. The Mozambique origin gives this ruby a provenance that has become sought after for its consistently vivid coloration and crystalline clarity, and the GIA certification provides an exacting third party affirmation of the gem's attributes. The included clarity grade should be embraced as part of the ruby's natural identity, offering internal character that catches light in unexpected ways, producing flashes of brilliance that appear and retreat as the stone is viewed from different angles. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this behavior, transforming what might otherwise be subtle internal features into an interactive display of light, so that each tilt of the hand reveals a new arrangement of glowing red planes. This is a piece for the collector who prizes nuance and for the wearer who desires a jewel that speaks softly of lineage and loud of presence.

At The Natural Ruby Company we present this ruby not as a commodity, but as a commissioned moment of nature and craft, prepared to become the center of a bespoke piece or to rest as the crown jewel of a private collection. Thoughtful mounting choices, such as a delicate bezel to emphasize depth, or an open prong setting to invite light to circulate, will reveal different aspects of the stone's optical life, while classic metal selections like warm yellow gold or cool platinum will subtly alter the perceived intensity of the red. This ruby is heat treated, a responsible and widely accepted enhancement that elevates its color while preserving the natural structure that produces its unique sparkle. For those who seek distinction without compromise, this 1.87 carat Mozambique cushion ruby stands as a rare invitation, a gem whose optical complexity and certified provenance mark it as an object for those who collect the exceptional.
