0.49 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Imagine slipping a jewel into your hand that feels alive with light, a ruby that seems to hum with warmth and promise. This 0.49 carat oval ruby from Mozambique is more than a gemstone, it is a story waiting to become yours. At 5.98 x 4.06 x 2.22 mm it is perfectly poised to be the central star in a delicate ring, an intimate pendant, or a timeless pair of earrings. The rich vivid red color draws the eye and quickens the pulse, and because this stone is transparent the color is saturated through the body of the gem, giving a visual depth that feels like a sunset caught in crystal. You can almost feel the joy of gifting this ruby, and the memory it will create for the person who wears it. The Natural Ruby Company is proud to present this treasure, a gem whose presence transforms an ordinary moment into something unforgettable.

What makes this ruby truly sing is its mixed brilliant cut and its exceptional polish, a combination that creates an arresting play of light. The mixed brilliant cut blends the scintillation of brilliant facets with the architectural elegance of step cutting, delivering a lively sparkle when the stone moves and a steady, luminous glow when it is looked at head on. Every facet has been carefully proportioned to maximize return of light, and the excellent polish ensures that each surface shines like a mirror, allowing the vivid color to breathe and flash. At eye level the clarity has been graded slightly included, which means that the natural character of the stone is visible only on close inspection, and it does not detract from the overall transparency or brilliance. Rather, those tiny internal signatures remind you that this is a natural creation, a gem formed deep within the earth, not a machine made imitation. Heat treated to enhance color and stability, this ruby combines natural beauty with thoughtful enhancement, and its Mozambican origin adds a layer of provenance that collectors and romantics alike will appreciate.

Owning this ruby is about more than wearing a beautiful jewel, it is about the moments you will create and the way people will look at you when light catches this stone. Picture slipping it into a custom setting and presenting it as a symbol of love, or choosing it as a signature piece that you will reach for on days when you want to feel confident and radiant. The mixed brilliant cut makes it an ideal centerpiece because it commands attention without overwhelming the design, and its vivid color intensity means it will complement both modern and classic settings.
