Your gemstone is set into the design you choose. Every pairing is reviewed by a SARATTI specialist before production begins.

This 1.17 CTS Natural Ruby brings together two qualities of particular importance in fine gemstone evaluation: an independently assigned Pigeon Blood color grade and no indication of heat treatment. Its rich red appearance has been classified as Pigeon Blood under the AIGS Ruby Color Grading Scale, giving the gemstone a documented trade-color distinction rather than a purely descriptive label. The laboratory also records no indication of heat treatment, an important finding for a natural ruby of this caliber. Together, these characteristics establish a compelling foundation for a high-jewelry gemstone, where color quality and treatment history carry significance beyond carat weight alone.

The heart-shaped cut presents a graceful arrangement of rounded lobes, a subtle central cleft, and a defined lower point. Its faceted surface reveals a concentrated red center, with brighter crimson reflections emerging along the shoulders and outer edges. In the supplied photographs, the broader central facets retain a deeper tone while smaller surrounding facets introduce flashes of light, creating contrast without distracting from the overall color. The ruby's relatively broad heart outline gives its face a pleasing visual presence, while the polished facet junctions help define the transition between its curved upper contours and tapered base. These details create an engaging relationship between saturated color, proportion, and light.

Weighing 1.17 carats and measuring approximately 6.61 × 5.66 × 3.65 mm, this ruby offers an elegant scale for an individually commissioned jewel. Its natural identity, red color, Pigeon Blood grade, and no-heat finding are documented by AIGS in report GFC24057353. A platinum or white gold setting could provide a refined contrast against its rich red appearance, while delicate diamond accents might complement the heart silhouette without overwhelming it. Offered loose for private acquisition or a bespoke SARATTI commission, this ruby presents a meaningful opportunity to create a distinctive piece of fine jewelry centered on documented color and individual character.

Design Invitation

The rich red color and graceful heart silhouette of this 1.17-carat ruby invite a bespoke design that allows its distinctive character to remain the focus. A carefully proportioned platinum or white gold setting could introduce an elegant contrast, while delicate diamond accents might emphasize the gemstone's rounded lobes and tapered point. The design should provide appropriate protection for the heart's lower tip while maintaining an open presentation of its faceted surface.

Why we chose this stone

1.17-carat of pigeon blood.

This ruby combines the intensity of pigeon’s blood red with a neatly drawn heart outline. Its rounded lobes and defined point feel balanced, and bright flashes bring life to the red across the face. The unheated status and AIGS report add to its appeal.

HANDCRAFTED

Some reds are worth
building slowly around.

Chromium makes a fine ruby give light back, but only if the setting lets light in. So the pavilion stays open and the seat is cut before the metal is finished. A ring for every day, a pendant kept close, a piece handed on.

Size Guide

Use the SARATTI size guide to choose the right fit for your ring, bracelet, necklace, or made-to-order piece.

Is this the exact gemstone I will receive — and can I see more of it?

Yes. The gemstone shown on this page is the individual stone you are considering — not a representative image from a parcel.

We photograph and film the actual stone and do everything possible to show its color, proportions and character faithfully. Even so, gemstones can respond differently to daylight, warm interior light and different screens.

If you are uncertain, we can provide additional photographs or video and, where useful, reshoot the stone under different lighting or from another angle before you decide.

Can I confirm the gemstone is still available before I proceed?

Of course.

Send us the product link or reference and our concierge can confirm availability before you proceed.

For an important purchase, we would rather confirm first than have you make a decision around a stone that has already been spoken for.

How do I know which setting will suit this gemstone?

The builder presents settings intended to work with the gemstone you have selected.

Before production begins, the pairing is reviewed for proportion, security and suitability.

If we believe another setting, proportion or approach would serve the stone better, we will tell you before anything is made. The setting should serve the gemstone — not simply accommodate it.

What happens after I choose my gemstone and setting?

We confirm the important details with you before production begins.

That includes your gemstone, setting, metal, side stones where relevant, size, engraving and any personal details.

Nothing enters production until the final specification has been reviewed and approved.

Will I see the finished piece before it is sent?

Yes.

Once your piece is complete, it is photographed and filmed with your gemstone set into it.

Those images are sent to you before dispatch, so you can see the finished jewel before it leaves SARATTI.

How long will my piece take?

Made-to-order pieces generally require around three to four weeks from final approval to completion.

A loose gemstone purchased on its own can usually be prepared for dispatch much sooner.

If you are working towards a proposal, anniversary, birthday or travel date, tell us before ordering. We will let you know what is realistically possible rather than promise a date we cannot honour.

How will my order be delivered?

Your order is sent by insured courier with tracking and appropriate delivery security.

The route and carrier depend on destination and value.

Where duties or local taxes may apply, our concierge can explain the available delivery options before dispatch.

Can I return a loose gemstone?

A loose gemstone may be returned within fourteen days of delivery provided it remains unworn, unset and unaltered, with its packaging and documentation intact.

Please contact us before sending anything back so the return can be arranged securely.

What happens once the gemstone has been set?

A jewel created around your selected gemstone is made specifically for you.

Once the final specification has been approved and production has begun, the gemstone and materials are committed to your piece.

That is why we take time to confirm the details with you before making begins.

What if I am still unsure?

Then do not rush the decision.

We can help you compare this gemstone with another, look again at color or proportion, send additional imagery, discuss a setting or simply talk through what matters most to you.

The right stone should feel considered — not hurried.

What happens after I receive my piece?

Our relationship does not end at delivery.

SARATTI provides ongoing care for the jewelry we create, including inspection, cleaning and appropriate maintenance support as the piece is worn over time.

If anything ever concerns you, speak with us before attempting repair or alteration elsewhere.
