5.30 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the red soils of Mozambique to the quiet light of the jeweler’s bench, this ruby carries a story you can feel the moment you lift it. This transparent 5.30 carat pear shape pinkish red ruby measures 15.32 x 9.30 x 4.57 mm, and it has been expertly faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and color. At eye level the clarity is slightly included, a natural fingerprint that speaks of genuine origin rather than laboratory perfection, and the stone displays a vivid color intensity that catches the eye and holds it. The polish is excellent, the facets clean and crisp, and our disclosure is complete, the stone having been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that intensifies its natural hue without altering its essential character. At The Natural Ruby Company we begin with this verifiable information because we believe beauty is inseparable from truth, and because every detail matters to a conscious buyer who wants to know where a treasure has come from and how it arrived at its final form.

The journey from rough to this pear shape gem is a careful conversation between cutter and crystal, a dialogue informed by years of experience and respect for the material. In Mozambique, miners tend pockets of ruby within metamorphic rock, and those pockets yield rough crystals with rich, saturated tones. We work with mining partners who practice responsible sourcing, who provide fair wages and community investment, and who participate in land reclamation efforts after extraction. Once a promising crystal is identified, it is selected for the precision cut that will reveal its best attributes. The mixed brilliant cut chosen for this piece was selected to deepen and centralize the pinkish red color while allowing flashes of brilliance to animate the stone in motion. The pear shape, elongating and elegant, shows off the 15.32 x 9.30 x 4.57 mm proportions, creating a presence that is both bold and wearable. Slight inclusions are visible to the trained eye, and they are in fact part of the stone’s personality, offering a provenance fingerprint and adding depth to the color. The excellent polish makes the surface feel satiny smooth and ensures that light plays freely across each facet, turning the ruby into a living flame against the skin.

For the conscious collector this ruby is more than an object of adornment, it is an ethical choice that fits seamlessly into a responsible jewelry wardrobe. Because it is traceably sourced from Mozambique and handled through channels that prioritize community welfare and environmental care, it aligns with values of sustainability and social responsibility without compromising on beauty or craftsmanship. The heat treatment has been openly disclosed, because transparency is central to responsible luxury, and because such treatments are stable and accepted within the trade. This 5.30 carat pear shape ruby can become the center of a signature ring or a pendant that tells a story at every glance, and its dimensions allow for design flexibility, from classic solitaires to contemporary bezel settings that protect and celebrate the stone. The Natural Ruby Company provides provenance documentation and can arrange independent lab reports on request, along with bespoke setting services and guidance on care. Because this is a gem you will live with, we advise basic precautions, avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden extreme heat, though the disclosed heat treatment is not the same as ongoing fragility, and with thoughtful wear this ruby will continue to glow for generations. If you seek a piece that combines natural origin, meticulous cutting, ethical supply, and a vivid pinkish red presence, this ruby is a rare intersection of conscience and desire, and we at The Natural Ruby Company are ready to help you make it part of your collection.
