1.47 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the rich alluvial deposits of Mozambique comes a single, remarkable red gemstone whose story begins deep in ancient riverbeds and ends in the careful hands of master craftsmen. This transparent oval shape red ruby, weighing 1.47 carat, was discovered in a region known for producing some of the most expressive and deeply colored rubies on earth. The rough stone carried the memory of geological time, and as it moved from mine to market it was selected for its vivid color intensity and inherent clarity. At The Natural Ruby Company we respect that origin story, partnering directly with trusted sources in Mozambique to ensure traceability and to honor the communities whose labor brings such beauty to light. The rough was carefully evaluated and then gently heat treated as an enhancement to reveal the full saturation of red that collectors and connoisseurs prize, a common and stable treatment that intensifies color while preserving the stone’s natural character.

Guided by a desire to maximize presence and brilliance, expert lapidaries fashioned this gem into an elegant oval, with dimensions of 7.09 by 5.88 by 3.83 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and depth. The 1.47 carat weight is a defining feature of this ruby, a premium weight that elevates its desirability and rarity, especially given its transparent quality and vivid hue. At eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, a testament to the natural origin and authenticity of the piece, and the polish is excellent, allowing light to dance across the facets and reveal rich crimson flashes. This ruby carries a tactile presence on the finger, shown to scale to suggest the refined impact it will have in a bespoke ring or a timeless pendant. In offering this stone, The Natural Ruby Company invites you to own more than a jewel, you secure a fragment of Mozambique’s geological heritage, a masterfully cut 1.47 carat oval ruby that communicates premium quality, enduring beauty, and a story that begins in the earth and is completed by human care and craft.
