In the heart of the ancient lands of Mozambique, beneath layers of earth untouched by time, lay a hidden treasure destined for transformation. This remarkable ruby, now a captivating 0.91-carat gemstone, began its journey embedded in the rich mineral veins of this African landscape. Mozambique is renowned for its gemstone-rich soils, which have yielded some of the world’s most prized rubies. These rubies are celebrated not only for their vibrant colors but also for their extraordinary durability. As part of this legacy, our ruby’s unique journey ensures it stands out with a dark color intensity that speaks volumes of its distinguished origins.
