4.44 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exquisite natural ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company is a transparent 4.44 carat oval shape gem, measuring 11.59 by 9.25 by 4.22 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and depth. The sapphire family nomenclature aside, this stone displays a pinkish red hue with intense color intensity, an excellent polish that enhances light return, and a clarity grade of included as evaluated at eye level. Heat treatment has been applied, a standard and stable enhancement in rubies that enriches tone and saturation while being fully disclosed, and the gem traces to Mozambique, a modern source renowned for producing richly colored rubies that rival historical deposits in hue and value.

From a connoisseur and ethical buyer perspective, the combination of size, color, and cut makes this ruby particularly desirable. At 4.44 carats the stone is substantial enough to command center stone presence in high end settings, while the intense color intensity remains the primary value driver for rubies, more so than clarity in many cases. Inclusions that are visible at eye level are typical for natural rubies and often confirm natural origin as opposed to synthetic or heavily filled material, and the excellent polish and mixed brilliant faceting work together to maximize the stone s visual performance in jewelry.
