14.25 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

There are moments in the life of a collector when an object appears that changes the conversation about elegance and presence, one such moment is the arrival of this exceptional 14.25 carat oval purplish red ruby from Mozambique, an extraordinary stone offered by The Natural Ruby Company. At 15.73 by 13.32 by 7.20 millimeters this gem presents a commanding yet classical oval silhouette that speaks equally to tradition and contemporary design, the generous face up area allows the vivid color intensity to dominate the gaze, while the mixed brilliant cut works with the gem s proportions to deliver scintillation and depth that is alive from every angle. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade of included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that contributes to its natural provenance and gives the gem personality and authenticity. Heat treatment, a widely respected enhancement when disclosed, has been applied to subtly refine the hue and clarity, while an excellent polish allows the surface to whisper light back in pearlescent flashes, ensuring the ruby reads as both noble and luminous in any setting.

For bespoke jewelers and private clients seeking a centrepiece that requires minimal compromise between size and wearability, this oval Mozambique ruby is ideal, its proportions are perfectly balanced to sit gracefully as a commanding ring, an elegant pendant, or a distinctive brooch. The elongated oval shape flatters the hand and the neckline, providing a sense of elongation and refinement that is difficult to achieve with rounder or more angular cuts, and its substantial table translates into a powerful face up color that remains vivid under natural and artificial lights. Designers will appreciate the versatility afforded by the mixed brilliant cut, the interplay of large facets and smaller brilliant facets creates opportunities to play with light in custom settings, a solitaire bezel will emphasize the stone s clean lines and protect its surface, while a delicate diamond halo will heighten the ruby s richness without detracting from its pure chroma. The stone s depth and pavilion proportions also allow for creative consideration in three dimensional settings, for example a low profile mounting for everyday elegance, or a more open gallery to let more light into the pavilion for maximum fire and brilliance.

Our clients often choose to pair such a vivid Mozambique ruby with baguette or round brilliant diamonds for a refined three stone ring, or with tapered diamond shoulders to frame the oval while preserving its visual dominance. For pendants, the substantial dimensions create a wearable statement that sits proudly against fabric, while for cocktail rings the size invites larger scale design, from sculpted prongs that read architectural, to smooth bezels that insist on quiet, elegant confidence.
