3.33 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent oval ruby weighs 3.33 carats and measures 10.00 by 8.59 by 4.43 millimeters, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brightness and scintillation. Originating from Mozambique, the stone exhibits a vivid color intensity, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that enhances light return. The specimen has undergone standard heat treatment to optimize color and clarity, a common and stable enhancement in rubies, while retaining natural material characteristics and structural integrity. Facet proportions and the mixed brilliant arrangement produce both broad flashes and lively pinpoint reflections, allowing the internal color and subtle inclusions to interact with light in a manner that is visually complex and appealing.

The ruby’s saturated red, combined with its transparency and cut quality, ensures that the color will dominate any jewelry setting without appearing flat or muted, making it a focal element in rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces. In metalwork, the stone will command attention when set in warm tones such as yellow gold, where the red is intensified by surrounding warmth, and it will also present a refined, contemporary contrast against white metals, preserving depth while contributing a striking pop of color. The excellent polish and facet symmetry aid in precise light performance, creating a surface brilliance that frames the vivid body color, and the slightly included clarity grade introduces natural character without detracting from overall visual impact. At The Natural Ruby Company we select and present stones for their optical presence and practical wearability, and this Mozambique ruby exemplifies those priorities by offering strong color saturation, accurate cutting, and reliable enhancement history, attributes that ensure it will stand out in any setting while maintaining enduring appeal.
