0.43 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One beautiful transparent 0.43 carat pear shape red ruby, measuring 6.02 by 4.02 by 2.28 mm, presents a compelling alternative to the typical stones you see on the market, and The Natural Ruby Company is proud to offer it to the discerning buyer. In a landscape where many rubies are either small and overly dark, or large but heavily enhanced and poorly cut, this pear shaped gem finds the sweet spot between refined size and eye catching presence, its mixed brilliant cut engineered to maximize table brilliance and scintillation. Compared to commercial off the shelf rubies that favor size over optical performance, this ruby delivers vibrant visual impact without sacrificing proportion or polish, its intense color intensity arriving in a transparent body that lets light travel through the pavilion and return as warmth and fire. If you are comparing origin, Mozambique rubies today frequently offer the best balance of saturated red color and value, and this gem resembles top tier parcels for color, while costing considerably less than comparable material sourced from more exclusive regions, making it a smart choice for jewelry that aims to impress without compromising on natural origin and craftsmanship.

The clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, is not a flaw to hide, it is a signature of natural formation that adds provenance and personality to the stone, and the inclusions inside are unique identifiers that tell the story of this ruby. Under loupe scrutiny you will observe fine silk like rutile needles and tiny crystal islands that diffuse light in subtle ways, producing a velvety depth that many visually clean but lifeless rubies lack, and the pattern and arrangement of these internal features are as distinctive as a fingerprint, ensuring that this specific pear shape ruby will never be mistaken for another. These inclusions work with the mixed brilliant cutting style to create a play of light that alternates between pinpoint sparkle and softer, saturated zones of color, a complexity that elevates the gem from mere red glass imitation to a living, geological treasure. The excellent polish on the facets ensures that surface reflections are crisp and complimentary to the internal character, so when set the stone will present a lively crown, clear pavilion, and a finish that reads as top quality next to other market offerings.

Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and intensify the natural color, and this is the industry standard that enhances the best attributes of Mozambique rubies without undermining their natural origin, and for buyers who want transparency in enhancement practices, we confirm the treatment plainly and responsibly. In practical terms this well proportioned 0.43 carat pear is ideal for a halo engagement setting, a refined solitaire pendant, or a custom commission where its depth of color can be shown off against platinum or warm gold, and because it sits comfortably between delicate and presence driven sizes, it offers versatility that many larger, murkier stones cannot provide. When you compare total value including color, polish, cut, and origin, this ruby stands apart from mass market material, providing a rare combination of intense color, transparent body, natural inclusions as character markers, and excellent finish, and as part of our curated selection The Natural Ruby Company ensures ethical sourcing, clear disclosure, and expert guidance so you can make a confident choice.
