This exquisite transparent 3.97 carat oval red ruby from Mozambique stands out in the market for its rare combination of size, color, and craftsmanship. Measuring 11.44 by 7.73 by 4.68 millimeters, the gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and light return, and it carries a clarity grade of included when evaluated at eye level. What sets this stone apart from many mass market rubies is its vivid color intensity and excellent polish, which together create a rich, velvety appearance while preserving a lively, sparkling character. Unlike heavily treated stones that can appear dull or over enhanced, this ruby has undergone standard heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves color without sacrificing the natural depth you expect from a quality Mozambique ruby. Compared to smaller commercial rubies or those with inferior polish and shallow cuts, this piece offers superior presence and visual impact for its carat weight, making it an exceptional choice for buyers seeking a balance of natural beauty and practical value from The Natural Ruby Company.

Beyond technical excellence, this ruby is incredibly versatile, transitioning effortlessly from casual daytime wear to formal evening occasions. The classic oval silhouette and mixed brilliant cut flatter a variety of settings, from a simple solitaire ring that highlights the stone for everyday elegance, to an elaborate pendant or cocktail ring that commands attention at special events. Its near four carat weight gives a substantial look without overwhelming a design, and the solid polish ensures that the gem catches light in both natural and artificial environments, offering sparkle at the office, warmth at a social gathering, and dramatic glow under evening lights. For discerning customers who compare options, this Mozambique ruby represents strong value against comparable origins, delivering intense color and excellent finish at a price point more accessible than some Burmese equivalents, while still providing the natural charm and durability rubies are known for.
