4.04 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

There are rare moments when a gem arrives that refuses to be ordinary, and this 4.04 carat cushion shaped red ruby is one such treasure, offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company. Bellerophon certified, transparent and originating from the storied deposits of Mozambique, this stone measures 10.73 x 8.79 x 4.25 mm and is masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. Evaluated at eye level and graded very very slightly included, the clarity permits a clarity of presence that elevates the ruby beyond mere ornament and into the realm of heirloom quality. The color speaks plainly of its worth, vivid in intensity with a saturation that reads as raw, noble crimson, while the excellent polish allows light to glide across its facets with a whisper of fire and a sustained, velvety glow. Heat treatment enhancement has been applied in the time honored manner that reveals the gemstone at its most truthful and enduring expression, preserving the natural integrity that discerning collectors and connoisseurs prize. To hold this ruby is to hold a statement of cultivated taste, a declaration that the wearer values provenance, craftsmanship and the quiet power of rarity.

As a jeweller and advisor, The Natural Ruby Company delights in guiding this ruby into a wide spectrum of bespoke settings that transform the stone without diminishing its singular character. In a classic solitaire ring set in platinum the cushion silhouette will command attention, presenting the table to light and offering an elegant bridge between boldness and restraint. For those who favor glamour, a halo of F G color diamonds in micro pavé will intensify the central hue and create a jewel that reads as both luminous and regal. A vintage style milgrain bezel framed by filigree will bring out the ruby s old world charisma, while a modern tension or low bezel mounting in rose gold will speak to contemporary refinement and daily wear. As a pendant the proportions lend themselves to a statement locket, suspended from a fine chain that lets the stone sway and catch light with every movement. Matched pairs of smaller stones can flank this main gem to form three stone rings or drop earrings that narrate a story of balance and harmony. Consider also bespoke cufflinks for the gentleman connoisseur, a signet inspired brooch, or a cocktail ring set on a cathedral gallery that offers both protection and drama. The dimensions of 10.73 by 8.79 mm coupled with the 4.04 carat weight make this ruby versatile for both bold statement pieces and refined centre stone designs, and our artisans will advise on prong count, gallery architecture and protective settings to ensure longevity and comfort.

The Natural Ruby Company offers a fully bespoke journey from initial consultation to finished jewel, with thoughtful attention to every technical and aesthetic decision. We provide CAD renders and hand carved wax models so that proportion and presence are considered before any metal is set, and our master setters recommend secure prong or bezel arrangements to respect the stone s cushion profile and clarity. The Bellerophon certification and clear disclosure of heat enhancement and Mozambican origin assure provenance and trust, and our clients receive detailed care guidance designed to preserve the polish and vibrancy of the ruby for generations. For the buyer who seeks investment and beauty, this gem performs on both counts, a visible accolade on a hand, at a décolletage, or as a legacy piece passed down with stories intact. To commission a setting is to participate in creation, and to wear the finished piece is to claim a level of refinement. If you are inclined to view this ruby in person or to discuss design possibilities, The Natural Ruby Company welcomes your inquiry. Our atelier is prepared to craft a setting that reflects your personal narrative and that frames this extraordinary ruby as the undeniable centrepiece that it is.
