3.29 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This pear shaped ruby began its story deep in the mineral-rich soils of Mozambique, where pockets of corundum are unearthed by hands attuned to the land and its seasons. From rough to refined, this 3.29 carat, transparent pinkish red gem was selected for its natural saturation and potential to sing when properly cut. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant faceting to maximize both depth of color and lively return of light, carving the stone to precise dimensions of 11.78 x 7.75 x 4.54 mm. Generations of gem cutting techniques meet modern precision here, and a careful heat treatment was applied to stabilize and intensify the ruby’s vivid color intensity, a common and accepted enhancement that reveals the stone’s truest personality. At The Natural Ruby Company we honor the cultural significance of rubies as emblems of passion and protection, and this piece carries that heritage forward, its journey from Mozambique’s earth to our benchwork a narrative of place, craft, and reverence.

Viewed from any angle this pear cut ruby offers an immediate, almost flawless presence to the naked eye, even though it is graded included at eye level, because the stone’s transparency, mixed brilliant cut, and excellent polish conspire to conceal internal features and project pure color. Facets meet with crisp planes that channel light into bright flashes of pink-red fire, while the elongated pear silhouette creates a flattering play of light that appears to lengthen the finger or draw the eye to a pendant’s center. The excellent polish ensures each facet edge reads clean and sharp, allowing the vivid color intensity to remain uninterrupted as the gem moves, and the overall symmetry enhances brilliance and scintillation from crown to pavilion. For those imagining settings, this ruby transforms effortlessly into a refined solitaire pendant, an elegant drop earring, or a halo ring where surrounding diamonds will accentuate its vivacity without overpowering its natural warmth. When you choose this stone from The Natural Ruby Company you receive not only a gem of measured specifications and documented enhancement, but a piece whose crafted excellence makes it seem flawless to the eye, delivering beauty and presence from every angle.
