Why this 3.12 carat ruby gemstone is noteworthy: Natural rubies above three carats are much harder to encounter than smaller stones, so the combination of 3.12 carat size, vivid open pure rich red color, excellent clarity and lively oval cutting gives this gemstone serious presence. Its classic oval form is ideal for an important ring or pendant and allows the red to remain the visual focus. The accompanying C.D. report adds documentation for a gemstone intended to be a significant jewelry purchase or collection piece.
