7.68 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

This is a beautiful semi transparent ruby from Mozambique offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a striking 7.68 carat oval cabochon that measures 12.45 x 8.43 x 7.36 mm, perfect for a statement ring or a refined pendant. The stone shows an intense pinkish red hue that glows from within, and the cabochon cut enhances its silky internal lustre and uniform color distribution. Clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical of natural rubies and contributes to the gem character without detracting from its appeal. The polish is excellent, giving smooth reflective highlights across the dome and emphasizing the rounded symmetry of the oval shape. Importantly, this ruby is unenhanced, a natural gem with no heat treatment or other modifications, which collectors and connoisseurs value highly for its integrity and rarity. Origin is Mozambique, a source known for producing vivid and well saturated rubies, and this piece showcases those regional characteristics in a semi transparent, lively stone.

For styling and care, this cabochon ruby adapts beautifully to classic and contemporary settings, sitting securely in low bezel mounts to protect the dome, or as a centerpiece in an artisan bezel set pendant that lets the color and presence speak for itself. The semi transparency and cabochon finish create a warm internal glow under soft lighting, making it particularly flattering in warm yellow gold and stellar in rose gold, while platinum provides a modern contrast. Slight inclusions do not affect durability, but as with all fine rubies, routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain its shine, and professional inspection for a secure setting is recommended yearly. At The Natural Ruby Company we can provide guidance on mounting options, independent certification, and bespoke design services to ensure the ruby arrives ready for wear or as a prized addition to a collection. This Mozambique ruby is an excellent choice for someone seeking a naturally unaltered, richly colored cabochon with character and presence, and we invite you to contact us for more detailed images, certification, or to discuss designing a setting that will showcase its intense pinkish red beauty.
