0.63 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent 0.63 carat oval ruby measures 6.01 x 4.02 x 3.05 mm, exhibiting a vivid pinkish red hue with intense color intensity, and an excellent polish that yields sharp facet reflections. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant faceted crown with a modified pavilion faceting scheme, optimizing both scintillation and color saturation. The proportions yield a depth of approximately 3.05 mm, which corresponds to an overall depth of about 61 percent relative to the average diameter, a proportion that produces a strong face up presence while maintaining efficient light return. Clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, with internal features that are visible without magnification and consistent with natural ruby formation. The stone has been heat treated to enhance color and stability, and its Mozambique origin is reflected in the intense, saturated pinkish red tone that collectors and designers associate with that locality.

From a design and setting perspective this ruby is particularly well suited to serve as a statement center stone. The combination of its elongated oval spread and high polish allows a larger apparent size relative to its weight, making it ideal for a solitaire ring or a pendant where the face up dimensions command attention. The mixed brilliant faceting on the crown produces lively return of light across the table and along the length of the oval, while the carefully executed pavilion facets maintain depth of color without excessive darkness. In practical terms the included clarity grade contributes character and proves advantageous when set in warm metal such as yellow gold or rose gold, where the internal features can become part of the gem narrative rather than detracting from brilliance. For bespoke settings a slightly open bezel or a halo with calibrated melee will emphasize the stone s color and shape, while an east west orientation can accentuate the oval silhouette for contemporary designs. This ruby is offered by The Natural Ruby Company, and it represents a technically refined example of Mozambique material, combining proportion, cut precision, and color intensity to deliver a memorable, statement quality center gem.
