4.02 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Introducing a truly magnificent gemstone from The Natural Ruby Company, this exceptional 4.02 carat ruby boasts an exquisite emerald cut shape with dimensions of 10.73 x 7.88 x 4.78 mm. This ruby, originating from the renowned mines of Mozambique, embodies the finest aspects of gemstone expertise. Its emerald cut not only enhances the depth of color but also maximizes the play of light, creating an unparalleled visual experience. The cut offers a distinct step pattern that reflects light in a hall of mirrors effect, similar to the iconic Cullinan diamond's cut yet distinguished by the ruby’s fiery red hue.

The vivid color intensity of this ruby sets it apart from historical rubies like the Sunrise Ruby, known for its extraordinary red tones. Our ruby possesses a remarkable transparency, which allows its vibrant red to shine brilliantly. Its clarity, graded as very very slightly included at eye level, ensures that there are no visible inclusions to distract from its brilliance. This clarity grade is reminiscent of famous stones, such as the stunning Burmese rubies from history, celebrated for their pure and robust color and clarity.

Craftsmanship plays a crucial role in the allure of this gemstone. This ruby has undergone careful heat treatment, a testament to traditional enhancement techniques that have been refined over centuries to bring out the best in gemstones. The heat enhances the stone’s color and clarity, ensuring that the ruby maintains its striking visual impact. Our ruby's excellent polish further elevates its appeal, with surfaces so finely finished that their sheen rivals some of the most cherished royal gems.

Different from many others, the origin of this ruby gives it a unique character. Mozambican rubies are known for their deep color palettes, sometimes compared to the legendary Burmese stones. Yet, our ruby's particular shade distinguishes itself with a vividness and warmth suggestive of its tropical birthplace. This connection to Mozambique not only ensures a rich and storied background but also highlights ethical sourcing and craftsmanship, hallmarks of The Natural Ruby Company's commitment to quality and social responsibility.

In summary, this ruby is more than just a gemstone; it is a masterpiece that carries the prestige of history and the promise of beauty. At The Natural Ruby Company, we take pride in presenting a ruby that is both a collector's dream and a stunning centerpiece for any fine jewelry. Its exceptional quality, combined with its historical and geographical significance, ensures that this ruby is an investment in elegance and timeless allure.
