Mozambique Ruby 0.60 ct Emerald Cut 6x3.8 mm – Natural Loose Stone

Looking for a ruby with clean, modern lines? Most rubies are cut round or oval. This one is an emerald cut: long, parallel step facets that give crisp, mirror-like flashes and let the deep red colour pool inside the stone. It's a natural Mozambique ruby, slim at 6.0 × 3.8 mm, which makes it ideal for an east-west solitaire, a pinky or signet ring, or a small pendant. And if July is your birth month, it can be set into exactly the piece you have in mind.

• Natural. Red. Geometric. Made to be remembered.
• Natural Mozambique ruby, 0.60 ct, emerald cut (octagon step cut)
• Slim 6.0 × 3.8 mm, ideal for east-west, pinky or signet rings
• Vivid deep red that pools inside the stone
• Standard heat only, no glass filling
• A loose natural ruby from Mozambique, sold unmounted. There is only one of this stone.

Why the emerald cut

A brilliant cut scatters light into sparkle. An emerald cut uses long, parallel facets instead, so you see:

• Crisp, geometric flashes rather than glitter
• Deep colour that pools inside the stone
• Clean, architectural lines

It's an uncommon cut for ruby, and it looks refined rather than flashy, which suits Art Deco, minimalist and men's designs.

Design ideas

• An east-west solitaire, set sideways across the finger
• A pinky or signet ring with a flush or bezel setting
• A small, sleek pendant
• A side stone or accent in a larger piece
• Yellow gold warms the red, and white gold or platinum gives a crisp contrast

A gemstone for him: the men's signet ring

At Roho Jewels, we believe men deserve beautiful gemstones too. A natural emerald cut ruby set into a signet ring is a bold, personal alternative to a plain metal signet: one-of-a-kind, full of character, and a ring he'll wear for decades and one day pass down.

• Signet face: at 6 × 3.8 mm, this stone suits a signet face of about 9–12 mm, a classic small signet or pinky ring
• Setting: flush (gypsy), bezel or half-bezel keeps it low and smooth, with no claws to catch on sleeves or gloves
• Depth: the stone is 2.2 mm deep, so ask your jeweler for a signet head at least 3.2 mm deep
• Metal: rich in yellow gold, sharp in white gold or platinum, rugged in oxidised sterling silver
• Wear: Mohs 9, second only to diamond, so it is tough enough for a ring worn every day
• Perfect for: everyday wear, a wedding day, a graduation, a milestone birthday, or simply a signet he chooses for himself

Why Mozambique

Mozambique is one of the most important ruby sources in the world today, known for bright, clean red stones.

Birthstone meaning

Ruby is the birthstone for July and the traditional gemstone for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries, long a symbol of passion, courage and love.

Perfect for

An east-west solitaire, a pinky or signet ring, or a small, sleek pendant of your own design. And a natural choice if July is your birth month or you're marking a 15th or 40th anniversary.
