16.09 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Madagascar

This remarkable semi translucent ruby weighs 16.09 carat and presents a warm cushion shape with dimensions of 14.63 x 12.19 x 8.79 mm, offering a substantial and elegant presence for any bespoke piece. The sugar loaf cut creates smooth domed facets that amplify the stone's vivid red lab color classification while softening reflections into a luxurious glow, and the excellent polish enhances surface luster across every plane. Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the clarity provides natural character without distracting from the ruby's deep saturation, and the semi translucent nature allows rich color to travel through the gem producing depth and life. This ruby is fully natural with no enhancement, originating from Madagascar, and it carries a GRS certificate that confirms its identity, color, and untreated status, making it a confident choice for collectors and connoisseurs who value traceable provenance and honest representation.

At The Natural Ruby Company we carefully select and present stones that combine rarity, beauty, and integrity, and this 16.09 carat Madagascar ruby exemplifies that philosophy. Its vivid red tone and commanding carat weight lend themselves beautifully to singular statement rings, dramatic pendants, or refined brooches, and our team can advise on mounting styles that protect the sugar loaf profile while maximizing visible color, including bezel settings that emphasize the dome or open gallery designs that allow light to enrich the stone. For care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and we include the original GRS report with every sale to ensure confidence in your purchase.
