1.44 CTS Unheated Natural Mozambique Pigeon's Blood Ruby | Heart Cut

A richly colored unheated ruby with a full, expressive heart outline.

Gemstone $13,650.00

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

Some rubies are distinguished not only by the intensity of their color but also by the combination of qualities documented within the stone. This 1.44 CTS Natural Ruby from Mozambique presents a vivid red hue with a bright, concentrated face-up appearance, shaped into a heart that gives its color a particularly expressive outline. Its GRS report confirms no indication of thermal treatment, an important distinction in natural ruby appreciation. The accompanying laboratory appendix further notes that its color saturation is reminiscent of GRS-type pigeon blood ruby, while specifically recording the absence of strong fluorescence. Together, these findings give the gemstone a noteworthy gemological identity without relying on an unqualified trade-color designation.

The heart shape is defined by rounded upper lobes, a central cleft, and a tapered point, creating a recognizable silhouette that requires thoughtful balance in cutting. GRS identifies the faceting as brilliant/step (4), a combination that allows angular reflections and smaller flashes of light to move across the red body. In the supplied photographs, brighter reflections appear through the central and lower facets, while areas of deeper red create visual contrast. The result is a lively presentation of color, with the heart outline remaining central to the gemstone's character.

Weighing 1.44 carats and measuring 6.34 × 5.98 × 4.89 mm, this ruby offers a compact yet distinctive scale for an individually designed jewel. Its verified Mozambique origin, vivid red color, and no-heat conclusion are recorded in GRS report GRS2023-011052. A considered platinum or white-gold setting with fine diamond accents could emphasize its silhouette, while yellow gold would provide a warmer interpretation. Offered as a loose gemstone, it is equally suited to private acquisition or a bespoke SARATTI commission intended to celebrate a meaningful occasion.

Why we chose this stone

Pigeon Blood Red: the reason to look twice.

This 1.44-carat ruby pairs deep pigeon’s blood red color with a beautifully rounded heart. Bright facets lift the face and make the red feel active rather than flat. Its scale, shape, and unheated status give it a confident presence.

Natural ruby ring with an open pavilion so the chromium red returns light | SARATTI Red ruby gemstone hand-set in fine jewellery, seat cut before the metal is finished | SARATTI

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.

Before you decide

Questions worth asking.

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.
