Africa’s Mozambique Ruby and Diamond Necklace

Yes, Mozambique is a country in east Africa. It’s a gem source of wonder and mystery. It’s like no one knew, then whomp. There it was – a country full of gems. The best of all was ruby. The world likes red. We treat the color with reverence because it’s special. We reserve red for special things because the color is arresting. The color stops everyone. This is a big ruby framed with a halo of diamonds.

The “king of gems,” Ruby is one of the world’s oldest and most revered gemstones. It is also one of the rarest. Rubies with hardly any inclusions are so rare that large stones of good color fetch higher prices at auction than even diamonds.

Fiery and romantic, showing brilliant depth and intensity, the red hue of Ruby is certain to draw attention. In settings that focus attention on voluptuous color, Ruby sends a message of drop-dead glamour. Geometric-inspired jewelry designs featuring Ruby are equally appealing to both men and women who seek to convey strength, honor and classic style.
