Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a classic oval cut to reveal its exquisite hidden brilliance, let this unheated 0.70ct Ruby from Mozambique be your moment-defining treasure.
We are thrilled to offer this dazzling ruby, part of a collection acquired from an accomplished, retired Kiwi field gemologist. His career was dedicated to volunteering at gem mining sites across Asia and Africa, where he had the unique opportunity to buy gem rough as it was discovered. Over many years, he built a sensational gem collection, each piece hand-selected with a deep knowledge of precious gemstones and what lends to their value and overall beauty. He kept his private collection under lock and key for many years but recently gave The Sapphire Merchant the unprecedented and exciting opportunity to acquire some of his most remarkable pieces. This is a unique opportunity that should not be missed.
The experts at GFCO Gem Lab carefully assessed and certified this ruby to ensure its authenticity, giving you assured confidence in your precious gemstone investment.
Whether you are creating the ultimate gift of self-love or a proclamation of devotion, such as an engagement ring, we entwine your nuanced needs with our creativity. Let this rare ruby honor your story, by allowing us the privilege of hand-crafting it into a bespoke, artisan jewellery piece, marking a moment of significance in your life for now and for generations to come.

Rubies of Mozambique
With a long, stretching coast overlooking the Indian Ocean and the high plateaus in the northwest, Mozambique is a rich treasure trove of natural precious gemstones, each with their own unique allure and beauty.
In the 1990s, a significant partnership was formed between the British mining company Gemfields and a Mozambican company, leading to the establishment of the Montepuez Ruby Mining Company. Montepuez, the region where the ruby deposit was discovered, has seen success in mining due to the easy access to the mineral, the strategic geographic location of the mine, and the exceptional ruby material being extracted from the ground.
Some of the best Pigeon Blood Rubies available today are from Mozambique, known for their exceptional quality and beauty. Due to the reliable flow of gem material, unheated options are within reach of those wanting to invest in this coveted and valuable gemstone.
