2.98 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exquisite 2.98 carat cushion-cut red ruby hails from the renowned mines of Mozambique, a location celebrated for producing some of the world’s most sought-after gemstones. Certified by GRS, this ruby exhibits the superior quality and meticulous craftsmanship that define gems from this prestigious source. Mozambique rubies are esteemed for their striking color saturation and distinct hue, often compared to those from classic locales such as Myanmar, also known as Burma, and Thailand. However, Mozambique rubies like this one particularly stand out due to their unique blend of fiery red with subtle undertones of pink and orange, offering a vivid color intensity that undeniably captures the eye. The hue is both rich and vivacious, resonating with the legendary rubies of the Mogok region but presenting its own distinct tonal variance that keeps aficionados returning to Mozambique as a premier origin.

When examining the faceting style of this ruby, the brilliant cut emerges as a distinguishing characteristic that highlights the stone’s internal fire and clarity. The gem has been shaped to maximize the play of light within its structure, a feature amplified by its clarity grade of very slightly included when assessed at eye level. This level of clarity ensures that inclusions are minor and almost negligible to the naked eye. The finely executed brilliant cut allows optimal light reflection and refraction, enhancing the gemstone’s inherent brilliance and intensity. The cushion shape complements these attributes, offering a classic yet timeless appeal reminiscent of historical jewelry favored by royalty and collectors alike.

In terms of craftsmanship, the excellent polish on our Mozambique ruby speaks to the painstaking attention to detail and refined skills of the artisans involved in its creation. The polish not only enhances the gemstone’s luster but also improves its surface quality, ensuring it appears stunning from every angle. The polished facets align perfectly to create a near-flawless surface that reflects light in every direction, a hallmark of the quality standards upheld by The Natural Ruby Company. This gemstone embodies unparalleled elegance and sophistication, making it a fine addition to any high-end collection or bespoke jewelry piece.

Mozambique rubies, with their impressive blend of vivid hues and precise cutting, have secured their place in the upscale market and remain a symbol of opulence. The fiery undertones found in this ruby offer a compelling comparison to corundum from Sri Lankan and Thai sources, presenting a broader palette of red that continues to captivate jewelers and collectors around the globe. Each geographic provenance offers its own unique nuances, yet this particular gemstone from The Natural Ruby Company distinguishes itself with a distinctive intensity and clarity that is both rare and valuable. The legacy of Mozambique as a reputed origin for exceptional rubies is upheld in this multifaceted beauty, making it not just a gemstone, but a statement befitting connoisseurs with a palate for genuine artistry and authenticity.
