0.29 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Imagine a moment so warm and luminous that it becomes part of your family story, a memory that glows as vividly as the gemstone that marks it. This exquisite round Mozambique ruby weighs 0.29 carat, with precise dimensions of 4.09 x 4.11 x 2.36 mm, and it arrives to you as a tiny beacon of passion and promise. Its vivid red color intensity captures the eye and holds it, conveying joy and affection the moment it catches the light. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to balance scintillation and depth, and the excellent polish leaves every facet singing with life. At The Natural Ruby Company we treasure stones like this not only for their beauty, but for the way they make people feel, and this transparent ruby, enhanced by careful heat treatment, has the clarity and presence to become a cherished center of celebration.

The round shape and perfect proportions of this ruby make it an ideal candidate for custom jewelry, because the size and geometry offer extraordinary flexibility for a designer and for the wearer. At about 4.1 mm across this stone sits in a sweet spot where it is substantial enough to command attention as a solitaire, yet delicate and refined enough to blend harmoniously into a halo or three stone ring design. The symmetric nature of the round cut ensures that mounted light performance is consistent from every angle, producing a lively play of red fire that is amplified by the mixed brilliant faceting. For earrings, a matched pair of similar stones would create classic elegance, while a single stone of this size in a pendant offers an intimate, personal statement that feels both modern and timeless. When you commission a bespoke piece from The Natural Ruby Company our designers consider these exact dimensions and the cutting style to recommend settings that secure the stone while maximizing its visual impact, whether you prefer sleek bezels that emphasize color, airy prongs that increase sparkle, or intricate vintage settings that frame the ruby like a secret kept close to the heart.

Beyond its alluring color and perfect round silhouette this ruby carries reassuring practical virtues that make it an excellent choice for everyday wear and for heirloom pieces that will be handed down with pride. With a clarity described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone reads clean to the eye, allowing its vivid hue to shine without distraction. Those minute natural traits are part of what makes it unmistakably genuine and full of character, a reminder that natural beauty can be both flawless in feeling and honest in origin. The common and stable enhancement of heat treatment has been applied to bring out the ruby's best color and transparency, a standard practice that deepens the stone without altering its lasting integrity. As rubies are known for their remarkable durability, second only to diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale, this 0.29 carat gemstone can be confidently set into pieces intended for daily wear, accompanying birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and quiet moments of connection.

Choosing this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is a decision to invest in something that does more than shine, because it will carry meaning. Imagine designing a ring around this perfectly measured round stone, seeing it atop a warm gold band as sunlight spills across its facets, or gifting the small, brilliant gem set as a pendant that rests near the pulse where vows and secrets are kept. Our team delights in guiding clients through the creative process, suggesting metals, setting styles, and complementary accents that honor the stone's size, shape, and vivacity. We will walk with you from the first sketch to the final polish, so that when the piece is finished it will feel inevitable, like it was always meant to celebrate that particular love, that milestone, or that personal triumph.
