4.33 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This AGL certified red ruby presents as a transparent oval weighing 4.33 carats, with precise dimensions of 10.47 x 8.81 x 5.32 millimeters. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining faceting that promotes strong scintillation with proportions that emphasize depth and saturation, it has a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an intense color intensity, and an excellent polish, the reported enhancement is heat treatment, and the documented origin is Mozambique, certification from AGL confirms the gemological identification, treatment disclosure, and origin attribution, providing a reliable baseline for design and valuation decisions. The overall combination of carat weight, shape, and color makes this ruby immediately suitable as a principal centerpiece in a range of bespoke jewelry concepts while maintaining the durability and wearability expected of ruby set pieces.

The oval outline and mixed brilliant cut work together to balance fire and color, the measured depth of 5.32 millimeters corresponds to an approximate depth percent of 55.2 percent when referenced against the mean diameter, this proportion supports even light return and helps maintain the intense red that defines the stone, the excellent polish enhances facet crispness and contributes to lively brilliance across the table and crown facets. Slight inclusions present at the eye level are typical of natural rubies of this quality and generally do not interrupt the visual impact when the stone is properly set, heat treatment is a conventional and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies natural color, and the AGL certificate documents these attributes so designers and clients understand precisely what they are specifying when planning a setting.

Customization potential is broad and adaptable to both classic and contemporary settings, the oval geometry lends itself to prong mounted solitaire rings where four or six prongs will secure the stone while allowing maximum light access, a low profile bezel will protect the girdle and crown for frequent wear while offering a clean modern aesthetic, halo settings with calibré or round accent diamonds will intensify central color by contrast, a double halo will increase presence and create a perceived increase in size without compromising the ruby itself. For more architectural designs, east west mounting will elongate the finger and provide a distinctive look, three stone configurations can use tapered or trapeze side stones to emphasize length, and cluster arrangements can incorporate smaller rubies or colored accent stones to achieve a vintage or floral motif. In pendant applications the depth and face up area create a strong focal point when suspended in a simple bail or integrated into a diamond accented drop. For earrings, while a matched pair is required to create symmetric studs or drops, this single ruby offers the opportunity to design a bespoke companion element such as a diamond halo stud paired with a ruby pendant or a single sided asymmetric earring composition. Men’s jewelry applications include use as a signet center or inlaid into cufflinks where the intense color reads well against both yellow and rose gold.

Practical considerations for setting and long term care should guide technical choices during customization, the 5.32 millimeter depth furnishes adequate pavilion for secure prong seats and for tension or bezel applications the gallery must be engineered to avoid undue pressure on the girdle, open back settings will allow light to enter the pavilion and preserve intensity, while closed back bezels will mute light but provide maximum protection, metal selection will influence perceived color, 18 karat yellow or rose gold can warm and enrich the red, while platinum and 18 karat white gold will present a purer contrast that emphasizes saturation and brilliance. The Natural Ruby Company can provide the AGL certificate with the stone and collaborate with clients and trusted bench jewelers to specify prong length, bezel lip profiles, and back gallery clearance, recommendations can also be supplied for stone orientation, complementary gemstone pairings, and mounting techniques that secure the slightly included natural material without compromising visual impact. For daily wear pieces we advise protective settings, routine inspection by a qualified jeweler, and simple cleaning methods that preserve set integrity and the stone surface.
