4.52 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This C.Dunaigre certified vivid red ruby presents a compelling combination of size, color, and clarity, making it a distinguished choice for discerning buyers, collectors, and custom jewelers. Weighing 4.52 carats, and measuring 10.13 by 8.48 by 5.95 mm, this cushion shaped gem is faceted with a brilliant cut that maximizes light return and scintillation. The material is transparent with a vivid color intensity that reads as a pure, saturated red under standard viewing conditions, and the clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, which means there are no significant inclusions visible without magnification to distract from the stone's face up appearance. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and a lively surface reflection. This ruby is confirmed to originate from Mozambique, a modern source known for producing rubies with strong chroma and attractive saturation, and the stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves color and clarity while remaining stable for jewelry use.

For bespoke jewelry applications this 4.52 carat cushion ruby is particularly ideal, because its generous dimensions and classic cushion outline provide both presence and versatility in design. The depth at 5.95 mm balances pavilion and table proportions, enabling the gem to sit well in bezel, prong, or halo settings without appearing shallow or overly deep, which simplifies design decisions for rings, pendants, and statement earrings. The brilliant faceting pattern complements both vintage inspired and modern minimalist settings, allowing designers to emphasize the intense red color with warm metal choices, or to use contrasting diamonds for added brilliance and color contrast. From a practical standpoint, the eye clean clarity reduces the need for complicated setting conceals, and the excellent polish ensures the stone will perform beautifully under everyday wear. At The Natural Ruby Company we document each stone with certification and full disclosure of origin and treatment, supporting informed purchases and long term value. For a client seeking a central gem that combines collector quality attributes with practical mountability for custom work, this Mozambique vivid red cushion ruby represents a rare convergence of beauty, integrity, and design readiness.
