Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.17 carat ruby in an oval cut, heat treated, accompanied by a GIA report. Ruby is natural corundum colored by chromium — the same mineral species as sapphire, but with enough chromium that the color enters the red range rather than remaining pink. At 1.17 carats with GIA documentation, this is a well-specified example for engagement and collector use; GIA reports for ruby confirm weight, dimensions, origin where determinable, and heat treatment status.
Why Choose this 1.17 ct GIA Oval Ruby?
The GIA report on this stone provides the independent documentation that distinguishes a verified ruby from a claim. Ruby is the most commercially misrepresented colored gemstone — pink sapphires, red spinels, and low-quality material are routinely sold as ruby without documentation. A GIA report resolves the ambiguity: the report confirms the material is natural corundum of ruby color, weight, and dimensions, with treatment status stated explicitly.
