2.96 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Allow me to present an object of singular desire, a transparent oval pinkish red ruby that announces itself without apology. Weighing 2.96 carats, and measuring 11.67 x 8.11 x 3.12 mm, this gem is carved into an ideal oval silhouette that flatters any finger or pendant, translating presence into pure elegance. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, every facet is arranged to catch and return light with a lively, rhythmic scintillation. The color is graded vivid in intensity, a tone that balances the passionate warmth of red with a refined pinkish overtone, a hue that reads as both modern and timeless. Originating from Mozambique, and enhanced by heat treatment to reveal its fullest potential, this ruby carries the provenance of one of the world s most respected sources, a provenance we honor at The Natural Ruby Company.

The color of this ruby is its most compelling signature, a vibrant chorus that will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether set alone as a striking solitaire or framed by diamonds in an artful halo. Vivid pinkish red is a rare interplay between strength and subtlety, a color that asserts desire while retaining an air of discretion. In a ring, the oval shape elongates the silhouette of the hand, making the color appear to glow from within, while in a pendant the gem captures ambient light and radiates a rich warmth against the wearer s skin. Designers will find that its mixed brilliant cut maximizes internal fire, allowing flashes of lighter pink and deeper ruby red to perform beneath the surface, ensuring the stone commands attention in movement and in stillness. Polished to an excellent finish, the surface sparkles with a pristine sheen that complements the internal color dynamics.

Clarity is evaluated as included at eye level, which in a stone of such vivid color becomes a testament to natural character rather than a limitation. Small inclusions can lend personality and proof of origin, a quiet narrative that speaks of subterranean formation and geological time. The heat treatment applied is a well established enhancement used to stabilize and intensify the innate color, revealing the ruby s true brilliance while honoring its natural heritage. Mozambique rubies are celebrated for their saturated hues and durable crystal structure, qualities that make them especially suitable for fine jewelry that will be worn and admired. This 2.96 carat oval will fit seamlessly into a bespoke commission or a signature ready to wear piece, translating technical excellence into emotional resonance.
