We present a transparent 4.25 carat ruby, its pinkish red hue imparting a rare and immediately recognizable warmth. The color sits in that coveted vivid band that whispers both passion and poise, balanced so that it reads richly saturated yet luminous, never heavy. With dimensions of 11.73 x 8.31 x 5.02 mm, this oval silhouette is generous in scale while remaining elegant on the finger, the proportions chosen to flatter a variety of settings.

Originating from Mozambique, this ruby carries the earthy, mineral depth and purity of one of the worlds most esteemed sources, a quality that resonates with collectors and connoisseurs alike.

The jewelry of its appearance is orchestrated by a masterful mixed brilliant cut that marries geometric precision with artistry, facets arranged to maximize every photon that meets its surface. The mixed brilliant approach combines the scintillating crown facets of a brilliant cut with the controlled pavilion architecture of step like elements, an intentional geometry that both scatters and focuses light. Each crown facet is a carefully plotted plane, each pavilion angle a calculated mirror, creating internal pathways that return light as flashes of brilliance and bursts of lively scintillation. The oval form elongates the pattern of light, producing lively ribbons of fire that dance along the length of the stone as it moves, while symmetrical facet junctions preserve evenness and balance, preventing any visual dead zones. The modest depth and well considered table size allow for an optimal balance between depth of color and brightness, the mixed brilliant arrangement ensuring that the rubys vivid hue remains saturated yet vibrant under varied lighting conditions.

When set, this ruby performs as an object of desire and distinction, its geometric faceting granting a dynamism that few stones can match. Under direct light the gem announces itself with prismatic flashes, a lively pulse of reds and pinks that shift with the slightest turn, while softer lighting reveals a sumptuous velvety intensity that draws the eye inwards. The included clarity grade lends the stone a narrative, soft internal features that diffuse light in a way that enhances the sense of depth, a character trait treasured by those who appreciate natural gems. The enhancement through heat treatment has been applied with care to stabilize and enhance the inherent color, a standard and widely accepted practice that refines the stones expression without compromising its natural character. With excellent polish and precise facet junctions, the surface is as receptive to light as a finely lacquered instrument, inviting touch and gaze in equal measure, promising to become a signature piece in any collection.
