1.88 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

A singular jewel from The Natural Ruby Company, this GIA certified heart shaped ruby commands attention with an immediacy that feels both personal and noble. We present a transparent red ruby weighing 1.88 carats, with exact dimensions of 7.35 x 7.60 x 4.03 mm, cut to a heart silhouette that reads as romance distilled into gemstone form. The cutter has embraced a mixed brilliant approach, marrying the radiance of a brilliant cut with the depth of step facets to create lively scintillation and a deep glowing core. At eye level the stone is eye clean, inviting an unguarded view into its intense color, a pure, vivid red that is unmistakably Mozambique in origin. The polish is excellent, allowing light to travel through the stone with precision and return to the viewer as a warm, saturated fire, and the gem is entirely natural with no enhancement, a provenance and integrity that discerning collectors will appreciate.

Imagine this ruby set at the center of a bespoke ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, an object intended to be worn as both armor and adornment. For a ring that declares status with subtle refinement, consider a low profile bezel of warm 18 karat rose gold that cradles the heart, a halo of fine white diamond melee that frames the red like a crown of dew. The contrast between the intense red and the clean white brilliance of round brilliant diamonds in a delicate pavé will heighten the ruby color while preserving the heart shape as the focal point. For a more architectural statement, pair the heart ruby with two tapered baguette diamonds placed horizontally on either side, their linear elegance providing a modern counterpoint to the gematic curve of the heart. For a romantic layering, small pink sapphires in a graduated cluster will create a tonal symphony, softening the transition between metal and stone, while tiny green tsavorites placed sparingly will introduce an unexpected, vintage inspired complement that intensifies the warmth of the red without overpowering it.

For a pendant designed to be both intimate and grand, picture the heart ruby suspended from a simple platinum bail, a fine chain that allows the gem to rest gently against the skin. Add a halo of mixed cut diamonds, alternating round brilliants with small diamonds cut to echo the facets of the ruby, producing a scintillation that reads as movement even when still. Alternatively, choose a doublet of color, the ruby paired above with a single elongated pink sapphire or tourmaline set as a graduated connector, the color relationship creating a vertical axis that flatters the neckline. For bespoke earrings, a matched pair of smaller rubies could be complemented by pear shaped diamond drops, or by a trio of graduated white diamonds above each heart, letting the light cascade and giving the wearer a touch of old world glamour with modern precision. If the commission calls for a three stone engagement style piece, flank the heart ruby with two trapeze cut diamonds or warm cognac sapphires, each carefully proportioned to preserve the dominance of the center stone while enriching the jewel with architectural balance.

At The Natural Ruby Company we understand that a stone such as this is more than a purchase, it is an emblem of taste, a private triumph that will be passed down as a story. Our craftsmen will tailor proportions, metal choices, and gemstone companions to suit your intention, whether that is an understated heirloom piece or a showpiece that announces arrival. The Mozambique origin and GIA certification are recorded with meticulous documentation, and we offer private consultations to view the stone under varied lighting, to test metal pairings, and to preview sketches or CAD renders prior to production. Owning this heart shaped ruby is to possess an object that speaks of discernment, of a life lived with attention to beauty and authenticity. Allow us to design a piece that elevates the ruby, and in doing so, elevates its owner, with a bespoke creation that will be worn proudly for generations.
