Meet the Rose of Mozambique – a 7.67ct ruby that dazzles in deepest red
The sparkling gemstone – cut, shaped and polished in Bangkok – has an astonishing red hue and exceptional clarity
Say hello to the Rose of Mozambique, a stunning 7.67ct ruby that was revealed in mid-December. The ruby started its journey as a 12.24ct uncut stone mined by Gemfields. It was sold at auction in Singapore to Sant, a gem specialist from Bangkok. Eight specialists worked to cut, shape and polish the ruby to reveal its glittering promise.
“Rubies, unlike diamonds, are not about the carat – they’re valued on the intensity of the colour and how the stone will present itself once it’s cut – and it was clear the Rose had an exceptionally rich colour and fantastic clarity,” says Santpal Sinchawla, managing director of Sant.
The result is a sparkling, intensely red-hued gemstone with crystal clarity.
