4.33 Ct. Ruby from Madagascar

This transparent 4.33 carat oval ruby measures 10.47 by 8.81 by 5.32 millimeters, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and depth of color. The gem presents an intense red color intensity, complemented by an excellent polish that enhances surface reflectivity and light return. Clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, which is typical for rubies of this size and origin, and contributes to the stone s natural character without obscuring its primary color. The ruby has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that refines color and clarity, and its documented origin is Madagascar. The Natural Ruby Company provides this technical information to support design decisions and to ensure transparent disclosure of the stone s properties.

The ruby s vibrant red will stand out in any jewelry setting through its combination of saturation, cut, and polish, which together produce strong face up color and well distributed flashes under varied lighting. In open prong or semi bezel settings the oval silhouette and mixed brilliant faceting allow maximum light to interact with the pavilion and crown, yielding noticeable brilliance and lively red tones. When set against white metals, the intense red reads as vivid and pure, while yellow or rose gold will warm and deepen the hue, offering different stylistic expressions without obscuring the gem s clarity or cut. The stone s proportions and excellent polish make it suitable for a principal center stone in rings, pendants, or bespoke earrings, where its color will act as the defining visual element. Internal inclusions are visible at eye level but are not detrimental to the overall visual impact, and in many designs they become part of the ruby s natural identity, contributing to a rich internal texture that plays with light.

For designers and clients seeking a ruby that delivers immediate presence, this piece offers a clear and measured set of attributes to guide mounting and finish choices. The documented heat treatment and Madagascar origin are included to inform conservation and care recommendations, and The Natural Ruby Company is available to provide additional imagery, exacting measurements, and guidance on settings that will maximize the stone s vibrant color and long term appearance.
