Description
Curation
Curated by: Harshil Zaveri, Founder & CEO
Description: It's been said that of all the gemstones, none inspire more emotion than the ruby. Certainly, its color is one of the heart, rousing passion, and romance, as seen in this mesmerizing natural 3.03-carat Mozambican ruby. This ruby exhibits an unenhanced, even vivid red color, called "pigeon's blood," considered the finest ruby color. Moreover, it also has beautiful clarity and superior "fire," expertly showcased in an oval cut. It's a rare gem indeed, waiting for a setting worthy of its regality.

Color Award: "Pigeon Blood Red"
Description of Color Award: Macabre, as it sounds, "Pigeon Blood Red" refers to a color category reserved for the finest, high-caliber rubies that exhibit a vibrant and vivid crimson red color. The term is said to have originated in Burma, where locals call the most vivid rubies "ko-twe", meaning "pigeon's blood". It is said that a perfect ruby is the same color as the first two drops of blood from the nose of a freshly-killed pigeon.
Pigeon blood red is the most sought-after color in rubies, surpassed by no other. While these rubies are usually devoid of purplish/pinkish/orangish/brownish overtones, some stones may show a slight purple hue.
While Burma (Myanmar) - particularly the Mogok region - has historically produced the most legendary pigeon blood red rubies, the nomenclature is not exclusive to the country. Other localities that yield fine-quality pigeon blood red rubies include Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.
Gemologist’s Comments on Color: The color of this ruby is an attractive and highly desirable shade of "pigeon blood red" without being overly dark in appearance.

Clarity grade: Very Slightly Included
Clarity description: Inclusions are very slightly visible on close eye inspection but don't detract the viewer's eye from the stone's beauty

Special Characteristics
Vibrant Brilliancy: This gemstone exhibits a brilliancy that is classified as "vibrant." Vibrant brilliancy results from a combination of factors such as skillful cutting, excellent clarity, even color distribution, and a very low degree of extinction.
Superior Cutting: The cut grade of this gemstone is classified as "superior". It has been masterfully cut by our highly skilled gem cutters (lapidaries) to bring out its best qualities and diminish any perceived imperfections. This gemstone is symmetrical, well-proportioned, and has an excellent surface polish. Therefore, it displays the maximum dispersion, scintillation, and fire.
