2.18 Ct. Star Ruby from Mozambique

The semi-translucent oval-shaped red star ruby, weighing in at 2.18 carats and sourced from the renowned gem mines of Mozambique, represents an exquisite choice for custom jewelry enthusiasts. Its dimensions are meticulously measured at 9.30 x 7.55 x 2.72 mm, providing a balanced framework that highlights its natural appeal. This red star ruby showcases an intense color intensity, a characteristic that is highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors alike. While the star ruby features a cabochon cut, the specifics of this particular stone bring out its celestial beauty, making it an exceptional choice for those looking to create unique and bespoke pieces.

The selection of a cabochon cut enhances the star ruby's asterism, giving it a mystical appearance that appeals to both contemporary and traditional jewelry designs. The subtly domed top of this cabochon creates an elegant silhouette, optimal for pendants and rings, where its unique play of light can be appreciated from multiple angles. The cabochon cut is essential for showcasing its latent star effect, or asterism, allowing the six-rayed star to delicately glide across the surface as it captures the light. Such a fascinating visual aspect compliments the intense hue of the ruby, granting potential custom jewelry pieces a dynamic, lively look.

Despite its clarity grade of 'included,' a trait commonly found in such remarkable gemstones, the star ruby's minor inclusions do not detract from its singular beauty. Rather, they accentuate its natural character, rendering each gem completely unique. These inclusions contribute to the formation of the star phenomenon, ensuring that the star ruby retains its enchanting allure. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity of this ruby captures light effectively, invigorating its internal color and vibrancy, aspects well-appreciated in the domain of custom jewelry creation.

Additionally, the gemstone's excellent polish reflects the dedicated craftsmanship associated with The Natural Ruby Company. This superb finish increases the gem's luminosity, enhancing the deep red color and its overall appeal. It creates a smooth surface that refracts light at optimal angles, bestowing the star ruby with an unparalleled brilliance. The polish speaks volumes of the expert artisan techniques employed, aiming to provide our clients with truly extraordinary gemstones that meet the highest standards of quality and beauty.

Finally, the Mozambique origin of this star ruby adds to its significance and rarity. Mozambique is known for producing some of the world's finest rubies, ones that are highly regarded not only for their supreme quality but also for their rich history and provenance. With this pedigree, the 2.18 carat ruby from The Natural Ruby Company offers an alluring opportunity for craftsmen and jewelers to design pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also treasure significant historical and geographical value. This ensures that each custom jewelry piece made with this ruby is not only stunning and elegant but also an heirloom that can be cherished for generations.
