5.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

A single, beautiful, transparent 5.01 carat cushion shape red ruby rests like a heartbeat from the earth, its dimensions 11.67 by 9.17 by 4.58 millimeters revealing generous presence and elegant proportion. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this gem balances lively sparkle with a deep, velvety center that draws the eye inward. Evaluated at eye level and graded eye clean, it offers a clarity that allows light to travel through without interruption, while vivid color intensity floods its facets with the purest of red tones. The polish is excellent, each facet finished to a mirror like gleam, and the stone has been heat treated in a conventional, stable manner to enhance its natural beauty. Born in Mozambique and offered with pride by The Natural Ruby Company, this ruby speaks of provenance, of careful selection, and of a story that begins beneath African skies.

Imagine this ruby set against warm metal, where its cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets catch morning sun and candle glow with equal grace, a companion for vows, anniversaries, and quiet promises. As corundum, ruby ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, a testament to resilience, and combined with expert cutting and polish it will continue to hold fire and form for decades. The vivid color retains its emotional pull, a timeless hue that does not follow trends but inspires them, while the eye clean clarity assures that its inner stillness will remain unmarred to everyday sight. Heat treatment, a well established and stable enhancement, deepens the saturated red so the gem reads as naturally expressive whether worn daily or kept for singular moments. With proper care this stone will patina your most treasured settings with memories rather than wear, its brilliance reflecting the life spent beside it.

At The Natural Ruby Company we choose rubies that carry both gemological excellence and poetic resonance. This cushion shape ruby, with its generous weight, precise dimensions, and vivid, polished presence, is more than jewelry. It is a living token of devotion that will continue to captivate over the years, a bright ember of color and light that ages like a well told story, growing in meaning while keeping its unmistakable, radiant heart.
