3.00 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One transparent 3.00 carat oval ruby measuring 11.77 x 8.76 x 2.98 mm displays a vivid red color intensity, the gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a well proportioned pavilion with a faceted crown to optimize light return, clarity is graded included at eye level reflecting natural internal characteristics that lend identity and depth, polish is excellent and the surface shows crisp facet junctions, enhancement is standard heat treatment applied to stabilize and enhance tone while preserving natural origin attributes, provenance is Mozambique, a source known for rich, saturated rubies.

This ruby adapts readily to a wide range of jewelry settings, its oval outline and generous spread make it an excellent center stone for classic solitaires, four prong mounts, and six prong settings that offer security and elegance, the length to width ratio suits both vertical and east west orientations for contemporary engagements, a low profile bezel will emphasize durability for everyday wear while a halo of accent stones will increase apparent size and contrast, three stone and trilogy mounts benefit from the consistent color and mixed brilliant facet pattern, matched pairs for drop earrings or a central gem for a pendant are practical conversions, for bespoke projects the stone responds well to vintage inspired settings with milgrain and filigree, to minimalist tension or channel complementations when paired with baguettes and tapered side stones, metal recommendations include platinum and 18 karat or 14 karat yellow, white or rose gold depending on desired contrast and tone enhancement, setting depth should account for the 2.98 mm depth to ensure pavilion clearance and secure seat.
