6.82 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the moment this ruby was born deep within the metamorphic rock of Mozambique, it carried a rare story that only a handful of gems can claim. Extracted from deposits that have recently produced some of the most sought after rubies in the world, this transparent, Other certified purplish red ruby weighs 6.82 carats and measures 13.00 by 10.61 by 5.31 millimeters, its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut preserving the natural intensity of its pinkish red hue. Gems of this size and of this pinkish red, purplish red spectrum are uncommon in Mozambique production, and when combined with a vivid color intensity and excellent polish, this stone stands apart from more typical smaller or more brownish material. As a gemstone professional I see many rubies, and I can say that finding a 6.82 carat cushion that reads as vivid and transparent, with only slight inclusions at eye level, is a rare occurrence, a choice that will anchor an heirloom piece or a bold bespoke commission.

Skilled cutters worked to reveal its brilliance, using a mixed brilliant faceting plan that balances light return with the natural saturation of the stone, and the excellent polish enhances every flash of fire and every velvety facet. The stone has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that deepens tone and clarity without compromising durability, and the slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level gives the ruby character while maintaining exceptional visual appeal. Oval and cushion settings with a low profile bezel or a delicate four prong crown will showcase the 13 by 10 millimeter surface while protecting the pavilion, and this size makes it a striking center for a cocktail ring, necklace, or bespoke signet inspired design.
