1.91 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This 1.91 carat cushion shape ruby from Mozambique, GRS certified and graded Intense Red to Vivid Red, presents a rare combination of color, clarity, and cut that sets it apart from ordinary rubies on the market. The gem measures 7.06 x 6.04 x 4.36 millimeters, and it is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, yielding a lively face up presence and richly saturated flashes of red. At eye level the clarity is eye clean, so the gem reads as pure and radiant without the visible inclusions that can mute color and sparkle in lesser stones. The heat treatment used is a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines color and clarity without compromising structural integrity, and the GRS certificate documents origin and treatment for full transparency. When placed next to common alternatives, this ruby immediately reveals its advantages, with a natural vivid tone that competes with higher priced sources, and with proportions that maximize brilliance and real world beauty.

Comparing this Mozambique ruby to other options available to buyers highlights why it represents exceptional value and enduring appeal. Many rubies on the market are either glass filled, lead glass diffusion treated, or laboratory grown, and while these can imitate color, they lack the natural origin and long term durability of a natural corundum. Glass filled stones can be vulnerable to heat and chemicals and require careful wear and maintenance, while synthetic rubies do not carry the provenance collectors prize. Burmese rubies enjoy legendary status and command premium prices due to historic scarcity and political challenges of supply. This Mozambique gem offers a similar vivid red palette for a markedly more accessible investment, and because it is eye clean and well cut, it carries the visual power buyers expect from a top tier stone without the prohibitive cost of rare unheated Burmese material. The GRS certification elevates confidence, because it is an independent verification of quality, color, treatment, and origin, and that clarity of information makes resale or inheritance simpler than uncertified alternatives.

The qualities that make this ruby a compelling purchase also underpin its potential to become a generational heirloom. Corundum is one of the hardest and most durable gemstones used in jewelry, and with a hardness that resists scratching and wear, a well set and properly maintained ruby can survive multiple lifetimes. The excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut mean the gem will continue to display lively sparkle under everyday lighting, and the cushion shape is a classic silhouette that transcends fashion cycles, ensuring the piece will remain stylish from one generation to the next. Heat treatment in rubies is a stable enhancement, and unlike surface or glass filled treatments that can degrade or require special handling, a heat treated ruby retains its integrity through routine wear and professional service. The nearly two carat weight is significant, because larger, eye clean stones with vivid color are inherently rarer, and rarity combined with certified origin and documented treatment creates the provenance story that families cherish when passing jewelry down. Care recommendations are straightforward, professional cleaning and periodic inspection of the mounting will protect the stone, and if future generations wish to update the setting, its proportions and cut allow for re mounting without losing the gem s visual impact.

At The Natural Ruby Company we focus on sourcing and documenting rubies that offer enduring beauty and verifiable quality, and this Mozambique cushion ruby exemplifies that commitment. We provide the GRS certificate with each purchase, and we can assist with appraisals, bespoke settings, and guidance on insurance and long term care so that the piece is preserved as a family treasure. Compared to lower priced rubies that may require replacement or careful, limited wear, this stone is suited to daily life when set thoughtfully, and it will reward owners with consistent brilliance and a depth of color that carries emotional weight. If your goal is to select a ruby that will not only be admired today but will also anchor family memories and stories for decades to come, this 1.91 carat GRS certified Mozambique ruby from The Natural Ruby Company presents a rare and practical path to a genuine heirloom, offering the right mix of rarity, reliability, and certified provenance that helps ensure it remains treasured by generations.
