0.38 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the depths of the earth in the beautiful land of Mozambique, a remarkable journey begins. Beneath the rich, red soil of this African nation lies a hidden treasure waiting to be uncovered. Our 0.38 carat red ruby, with its enchanting deep red hue, starts its voyage as a raw and unrefined gem, buried in the rugged terrain.
Miners, guided by knowledge passed down through generations, carefully extract these precious stones using both traditional methods and modern technology. The rough ruby is then transported to skilled gem cutters, whose craft has been honed over centuries, transforming the gemstone to reveal its true brilliance. The meticulous cutting process, which involves a mixed brilliant cut, enhances the ruby's natural transparency and allows light to dance through its intricate facets.
Our ruby, now with dimensions of 5.03 x 4.36 x 1.98 mm, is shaped into a cushion, a form that accentuates its fiery red color intensity. The precision in cutting ensures the stone's clarity, graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. The final polishing process brings out an excellent finish, adding to its allure.
The ruby is not only a symbol of beauty but also of durability. On the Mohs scale of hardness, rubies are ranked at 9, second only to diamonds. This ensures that our cushion-shaped ruby is resilient and lasting, making it perfect for cherished jewelry pieces.
As you hold this ruby, you become part of its ancient and storied journey. From the heart of Mozambique to the hands of skilled artisans, its tale is etched in every facet, promising not just a sumptuous visual appeal but also a deep connection to the rich cultural and natural heritage from which it came.
