0.28 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

When you are searching for a singular stone that will finish a life moment or complete a cherished collection, this Mozambique ruby answers that need with poise and character. This transparent 0.28 carat princess shape ruby measures 3.51 x 3.50 x 2.28 mm, and the precision of its princess cut gives it crisp, geometric lines that suit modern engagement rings and refined cocktail pieces alike. Noted as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity allows light to pass cleanly through the stone, while the intense red color intensity delivers the rich, velvety hues collectors and romantics covet. The excellent polish amplifies the stone’s mirror like facets, producing a lively presence even at this elegant, wearable size. Heat treatment has been applied, a standard, stable enhancement that brings out the ruby’s best color and clarity without compromising its long term stability, and the gemstone’s Mozambican origin contributes provenance and desirability that discerning buyers appreciate. At The Natural Ruby Company we select stones that meet both emotional and technical expectations, and this ruby balances brilliance, size, and color in a way that makes it an effortless choice for someone seeking timeless beauty.

Over the years this ruby will continue to captivate because of the inherent durability of corundum, the mineral family that includes ruby, which resists everyday wear and retains polish exceptionally well. The intense red tones will remain vivid when the stone is set in a protective setting, and the princess cut offers a contemporary silhouette that looks exceptional in solitaire, halo, or three stone designs. For engagement settings we recommend a secure four corner prong or a bezel style that protects the corners while still showcasing the stone’s face up color. For collectors, this ruby makes an elegant addition to a portfolio of natural gemstones, offering a clear statement of quality and an identifiable Mozambican character. Caring for the ruby is simple, regular gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush preserves its sparkle, and routine professional checks will ensure the setting keeps the stone safe. If you are ready to make this ruby the centerpiece of your next design, The Natural Ruby Company stands ready to assist with mounting recommendations and custom work, ensuring this stone continues to be admired for many years to come.
