Why choose this ruby gemstone: This 1.02 carat vivid open rich red ruby gemstone has the elegant length and pointed silhouette of a marquise cut, a shape that can appear larger face-up than many cuts of similar weight. Excellent clarity, high color and lively brilliance make it especially suitable for a distinctive ring or pendant. It is a compelling choice for someone who wants a natural ruby with strong red color and a less conventional shape than the usual oval or cushion.
