7.60 Ct. Star Ruby from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Ruby Company we are pleased to present a truly exceptional star ruby that combines classic beauty with a rare natural pedigree, this GIA certified purplish red star ruby weighs 7.60 carats and is fashioned into a smooth oval cabochon with dimensions of 10.21 by 8.69 by 8.06 millimeters, the gem displays the lab color classification purplish red as determined by GIA, the cut is a traditional cabochon designed to reveal and enhance the asterism, the clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level which indicates that the inclusions are minimal and contribute to the gem character rather than detract from its appeal, the polish is excellent producing a soft even sheen across the dome, the stone is translucent which allows light to interact beautifully with the internal silk and rutile structures that create the star effect, crucially this ruby has no enhancement which makes it a rare find for collectors and connoisseurs who value untreated natural color and structure, the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka a historic source for some of the most sought after rubies and star rubies in the world, the GIA certificate provides independent verification of weight, measurements, origin, color classification, clarity observations, and the statement of no detected enhancement.

Visually this star ruby is memorable and finely balanced, the purplish red hue is intense and vibrant without appearing overly saturated, this intensity gives the gem presence at a range of sizes and allows it to read as bold when set for evening wear and as refined when paired with lighter metals for daytime elegance, because the cabochon dome is well proportioned the asterism appears sharp and centered when viewed under a single point light source, the star shimmers and shifts with movement which creates a live interaction between wearer and gem, the translucency allows some depth to the color so that the star seems to float above a gently luminous core, the clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level means there are some internal features visible with careful inspection but none that interrupt the path of light or the integrity of the star, the excellent polish ensures smooth reflections and a pleasing tactile finish that complements the optic, all of these factors combine to make the stone visually appealing for collectors who prize distinct natural phenomena, and for jewelers who seek an outstanding centerpiece that will command attention.

From a practical and design perspective this 7.60 carat Ceylon star ruby is a versatile and durable choice, corundum is a nine on the Mohs scale making it highly resistant to scratches and suitable for daily wear when properly set, for the cabochon shape a bezel or partial bezel setting will protect the dome from knocks while a low profile prong setting can still secure the stone and allow light to interact with the star, yellow gold settings complement the warm undertones of purplish red and create a classic vintage aesthetic, white gold and platinum create a contemporary contrast that allows the gem color to take center stage, consider a halo of micro pavé diamonds to heighten the impact without competing with the star, for collectors this piece can be displayed in a conservator style box with soft lighting to show the asterism on demand, because the stone is untreated and GIA certified it carries strong potential as an investment grade collectible, bespoke commissions are a specialty at The Natural Ruby Company and we can advise on metal choice, mounting style, and ring proportions to ensure the ruby is secure and showcased to its full advantage.
