1.17 ct Red Ruby - Cushion

At 1.17 carats, this ruby from Madagascar carries its red color through a cushion cut, measuring 6.3 x 5.6 x 3.6 mm.

Ruby is the red form of corundum, sapphire's sibling species, and fine examples are among the most valuable colored gemstones per carat. Madagascar is a major modern ruby source, giving strong reds at more reachable prices than the classic localities. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground. It comes with an independent laboratory certificate.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
