This 1.02 carat oval-cut ruby comes from Mozambique, entirely unheated. The color is a vivid purplish red with a genuine glow to it – the kind of saturation that seems to radiate light from within rather than simply reflect it, giving the stone a lively, almost luminous presence in hand. The oval cut is clean and well-proportioned, holding the color evenly across the face without dead spots. Backed by a Chanthaburi Gemological Laboratory (GLC) report confirming natural ruby, purplish red, no indication of heating.
