Royal Araina Collection: Gemstones that you "fall in love" with

Named after his daughter, the "Royal Araina Collection" is a hand-picked selection of exceptional, noteworthy gemstones by Harshil Zaveri, the founder of StarRuby.in ®.

Why choose one gemstone rather than another?

In addition to applying the gemological selection criteria, he seeks out stones that speak to him: those that evoke an idea, bring out an emotion, recall a memory, or tell a story.

Every gemstone in the "Royal Araina Collection" is a rare, timeless treasure highly sought-after by discerning collectors and gem connoisseurs.

Treasures of the Earth

"Treasures of the Earth" is a collection of noteworthy gemstones hand-picked by our team of gemstone experts. Every gemstone in this collection will captivate you with its intrinsic beauty and spectacular flair.

Rubies exceeding seven carats are inherently rare, but to encounter one possessing such extraordinary colour, clarity, and brilliance in an entirely untreated state is something altogether more remarkable. Originating from Niassa, Mozambique, this magnificent 7.15-carat ruby displays a vivid pinkish-red hue of captivating intensity, combining sumptuous colour saturation with an exceptional sense of luminosity.

Its near eye-clean clarity is particularly noteworthy, representing a degree of transparency seldom encountered in natural, unheated rubies of such impressive proportions. The masterfully executed cushion cut further elevates its beauty, revealing vibrant brilliance and scintillation that breathe life into its richly saturated colour.

Accompanied by prestigious gemological reports from both GRS and AIGS, this ruby embodies a truly exceptional convergence of size, colour, clarity, and natural provenance. What makes it especially compelling, however, is the harmony of these attributes—a rare balance of splendour and refinement that transcends conventional grading. A distinguished collector's gemstone, possessing the beauty, individuality, and timeless allure worthy of a treasured heirloom.
