4.03 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

There is a long and noble history to the ruby, a gemstone that has embodied power, romance, and fidelity across centuries, and this Mozambique ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company continues that legacy with striking purity and presence. This GRS certified red ruby weighs 4.03 carats, and its oval shape, measuring 11.10 x 8.49 x 4.68 mm, evokes the classic proportions favored by connoisseurs and collectors for generations. The stone displays a pinkish red hue of vivid color intensity, and it is transparent and lively, with a clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and with an excellent polish that enhances its surface brilliance. Heat treatment has been used to optimize the stone's color and clarity, a traditional and accepted enhancement in the trade, and the result is a ruby that reads as timeless and authentic, ready to be set into an heirloom quality design or to stand as a solitary testament to refined taste.

The geometry of the mixed brilliant cut is the defining feature that allows this ruby to sing, and the faceting architecture has been executed to maximize light play and internal fire. Carefully proportioned crown facets capture incoming light and pass it to the precisely angled pavilion facets, creating a lively interplay of flashes, scintillation, and depth that changes with every movement. The oval outline increases apparent surface area and presents a flattering silhouette on the hand, while the mixed brilliant faceting balances brilliance and color saturation so that the vivid red appears both intense and luminous, without dark windows or dull zones. For a setting that honors centuries of tradition, this ruby excels in solitaire, vintage inspired, or three stone designs, and it photographs beautifully as seen in our reference images. At The Natural Ruby Company we pair this exceptional Mozambique ruby with meticulous quality control and GRS documentation, ensuring provenance and craftsmanship that will endure, and we welcome enquiries from those seeking a deeply traditional, yet vividly alive gemstone to pass through generations.
