1.84 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

Presenting a remarkable natural ruby from The Natural Ruby Company, a translucent 1.84 carat pear shape gem that captures attention with its rich red presence and graceful proportions. Measuring 8.10 x 6.14 x 4.19 mm, this ruby is rendered in a cabochon cut, creating a smooth domed surface that emphasizes color and depth rather than faceted sparkle. The shape is classic and elegant, a teardrop that translates beautifully into pendants, earrings, and bespoke ring designs. At this size and weight the stone offers a substantial and wearable presence, neither delicate nor oversized, making it an excellent choice for collectors and clients who seek a ruby with personality and poise. The cabochon form allows the vivid red hue to read consistently across the surface, and the excellent polish highlights the stone as a finished gem ready for immediate setting.

Color is the heart of any ruby, and this Madagascar origin alternative is from the rich deposits of Mozambique, known for producing lively and saturated rubies prized in the market. This particular gem shows vivid color intensity, a saturated red that reads warm and lively under typical lighting, with subtle internal glow afforded by its translucency. The cabochon cut gives the color a uniform appearance, and when the gem is set the light interaction will create a soft, enduring radiance that complements both yellow and white precious metals. Clarity is described as included at eye level, which in cabochon stones often enhances the character rather than detracting from it. Natural inclusions are visible but do not compromise the overall beauty, they instead attest to the natural formation and authenticity of the stone, offering unique internal patterns that make each ruby individual.

One of the most important factors for discerning buyers is enhancement and provenance. This ruby is reported as unenhanced, a rarity that holds significant appeal for purists and for clients who value untreated gems. The lack of heat or other enhancement treatments preserves the stone in its natural state, and coupled with the Mozambique origin this piece occupies a desirable place in a collection. The excellent polish speaks to the care taken in finishing the cabochon, and the result is a gem with smooth, reflective surfaces and rounded edges that sit comfortably in settings and against skin. For jewelers and designers, the pear shape offers directional emphasis, ideal to elongate a neckline or finger, and the cabochon silhouette lends itself to both vintage inspired and modern minimalist styles. This piece will fit elegantly in bezel mounts, cathedral settings, and as the central element in artisan pieces that celebrate color and form.
