27.41 Ct. Star Ruby from Vietnam

At The Natural Ruby Company we are proud to present one remarkable star ruby that combines impressive size, pure provenance, and GIA certification, all in a single exceptional gem, this is a Red star ruby weighing 27.41 carats, oval in shape, with dimensions of 17.03 x 15.54 x 8.74 mm, carefully fashioned as a cabochon to showcase the star, the stone is opaque, and it carries a lab color classification of Red, it has been evaluated by GIA and comes with a formal report confirming its natural origin from Vietnam, the report also records its clarity as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, its color intensity as vivid, and its polish as excellent, importantly the stone has no enhancement, which makes this a rare and desirable untreated specimen for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

The asterism in this gem is vivid and striking, the cabochon cut and the generous dome height allow the star to center and glide across the surface when the light moves, the effect is immediately noticeable under a single point light source, and because the inclusions are minimal at the eye level they contribute to a clean, sharp star rather than obscuring it, the vivid red body color provides a dramatic stage for the star, and the uniform saturation yields a velvety appearance that reads luxurious and deep, the excellent polish enhances the surface reflection so the star appears crisp and well defined, and because there has been no enhancement the beauty you see is entirely natural, this is the kind of star ruby that draws attention in a room, while offering the assurance of GIA verification and traceable origin from Vietnam.

From a design and setting perspective this gem offers many possibilities, its substantial 27.41 carat weight and nearly 17 by 15 mm dimensions make it ideal for a signature ring for someone seeking a true statement, for a pendant it will sit beautifully in a sculpted bezel that protects the girdle and showcases the dome, for cuff links or a centerpiece in a period inspired brooch it will provide classic presence and color, because rubies are corundum and rate high on the hardness scale they are durable for everyday wear when set thoughtfully, however given the cabochon dome and optical nature of the star it is prudent to employ protective settings that minimize hard knocks and abrasion, our design team at The Natural Ruby Company can advise on mounting styles that both enhance the asterism and protect the gem, we can also provide custom sketches and metal recommendations, for a ring a low profile bezel with a slight lip offers both protection and a frame that accentuates the star, for a pendant a custom halo or accent diamonds can add contrast while allowing the star to remain the focal point.
