3.22 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the bowels of Mozambique to your jeweler of choice, this red ruby has a story that reads like a cherished heirloom in the making, 3.22 carats of transparent beauty, oval shape, dimensions 9.97 by 7.00 by 5.14 mm, formed over millions of years under heat and pressure, then brought to light by careful mining practices that respect both the land and the people of its origin. The rough stone was selected for its vivid color intensity and inherent transparency, and then entrusted to master cutters who revealed its potential through a mixed brilliant cut, creating flashes of light that play across each facet. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is included, which lends the ruby character and natural identity, while an excellent polish completes the transformation, allowing the rich red hue to sing. Heat treatment was applied with skill to stabilize and intensify the color, a time honored enhancement that has become integral to presenting Mozambican rubies at their finest, and The Natural Ruby Company governs every step of this journey to ensure authenticity and provenance.

This ruby is an exceptional candidate for custom jewelry, its oval outline and measured proportions offering versatility and elegance for many settings, the 9.97 by 7.00 mm face providing a generous, wearable presence without overwhelming the hand, the 5.14 mm depth giving secure pavilion proportions for prong, bezel, or halo mountings. The mixed brilliant cut increases scintillation, making this gem ideal as a centerpiece for a solitaire ring or pendant, while its oval silhouette is flattering in three stone designs and as a focal point in bespoke necklaces and earrings. The included clarity adds a fingerprint of nature that antique inspired and artisan styles embrace, and the excellent polish means that the stone will sit beautifully and catch light from every angle once set. At The Natural Ruby Company we will advise on setting styles that protect the stone while showcasing its vivid color, and we offer personalized design consultations to translate this ruby from its natural heritage into a custom piece that reflects your story. If you seek a ruby with provenance, personality, and proportions suited to bespoke creation, this Mozambique ruby awaits the hands that will shape it into the next generation of wearable history.
