Firstly, I have a 100% positive feedback on eBay as ID bong213
This item is listed on Etsy, also. You can get better photos and video there. Link:

The photos and video are not modified in any way - all by the window indoors, natural sunlight.

Lastly, the price shown here is in USD. Final reduction price to clear.
Because I am Australian, the AUD price is shown on Etsy.

0.46ct pure unheated heart cut ruby of pure red colour / SI clarity from Mozambique.
I've never seen a colour like this in a natural ruby anywhere around Melbourne - only in synthetic ones. (The most accurate colour in real life is close to the 2nd photo, on my monitor at least.)
Personally, I cannot say if it is the correct "pigeon's blood" colour because I've never seen that quality, but it is definitely a rich "traffic light" red, or cherry red - not dark, no pink modifiers. It does go a bit darker, moodier "blood red" indoors.

Certified unheated/untreated by GLC Chanthaburi lab in Thailand where my usual dealer is.
GIA or other better recognised labs would add extra $100~$300 as well as shipping time back and forth, and at just slightly under half a carat, I just wanted it to be certified for the lack of treatment & being a natural corundum - the colour literally speaks for itself... blazing red. I don't think it's worth the risk of shipping back and forth in the covid-19 times, especially with the recent delays and increase in missing parcels.
It does have inclusions, but pretty good for rubies at SI clarity, without any chips or cracks reaching the surface. Totally stable.

Setting is in a 18k yellow gold, millgrained bezel setting to accentuate the colour and the cut/colour. (I spent around $600 to set this!)
Necklace length 40.5cm - choker length - faceted chain.
It is set by Shop Poett of South Korea on personal request.
I personally got it for myself but I just admire its beauty and never actually wore it - because I already have another necklace I wear on a daily basis, gifted to me ... so I have to wear that.

It will be a super romantic gift to that person!
