6.28 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

A jewel of unmistakable presence, this 6.28 carat cushion shape ruby is a study in refined intensity and classical glamour, offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company. Measuring 12.11 x 10.85 x 5.70 mm, the gem presents a generous face up size that commands attention while maintaining the balanced proportions essential to high end jewelry. Its vivid color intensity unfolds across a transparent body, a deep and lively red that speaks of the rich geology of Mozambique, the stone origin. The clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that does not diminish its appeal but rather lends authenticity and a whisper of the earths story held within. Heat treated to enhance tone and saturation, and given an excellent polish, the stone arrives as a fully resolved example of natural beauty refined by skilled lapidary art.

The defining beauty of this ruby is the way it plays with light, a performance made possible by its mixed brilliant cut within a cushion outline. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillating, fire creating facets of a brilliant style with the elegant, light guiding planes of step cuts, resulting in a dynamic interplay between brilliance and depth. From the table to the girdle the crown facets catch incoming light and fragment it into flashes of lively white brilliance, while the pavilion facets act as a mirror, returning that light through the crown to the viewer with renewed intensity. The cushion profile softens the geometry, rounding the corners to create broader facet surfaces that emphasize the stones velvety color, yet the carefully proportioned pavilion depth and facet angles preserve and amplify sparkle, ensuring that flashes are not lost to the interior. The excellent polish enhances every boundary between facet and facet, allowing light to leap cleanly from plane to plane, while precise facet symmetry ensures maximum internal reflection and scintillation even as the stone moves. In practical terms, this mixed brilliant cushion converts ambient and direct lighting into a balanced spectacle of fire and brilliance, giving the ruby a lively personality that is both regal and approachable.

To own this ruby is to claim a rare achievement, an emblem of cultivated taste and discerning intent. Its size and color make it an ideal centerpiece for a statement ring, where the cushion silhouette will sit gracefully upon the finger, catching light with every gesture. Paired with a delicate halo of white diamonds, or set alone in a minimalist platinum bezel, the gem projects presence without ostentation. The slight inclusions, visible only upon close scrutiny, remind the wearer that this is a natural treasure, a product of geologic time and artisanal refinement, rather than a laboratory creation. The heat treatment has been disclosed to preserve honesty and confidence in provenance and processing, and the Mozambican origin adds an element of modern rarity, as this region is celebrated for producing rubies of saturated hues and strong color saturation. At The Natural Ruby Company we present this gem not merely as an object, but as a statement, an heirloom in the making, a tactile expression of achievement. We invite you to experience the depth of its color, the precision of its cut, and the way its facets translate light into living fire, and to allow this exceptional ruby to become the signature of your most refined moments.
