2.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This GRS certified Vivid Red Pigeons Blood ruby from Mozambique is a transparent 2.01 carat cushion shape gemstone, measuring 10.00 x 6.75 x 2.55 mm, presented by The Natural Ruby Company. The cutter executed a mixed brilliant faceting style, pairing a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified step pavilion. This combination enhances both scintillation and strong face up color, producing broad flashes of red and controlled facet windows that emphasize saturation without sacrificing brilliance. The piece is eye clean evaluated at eye level, with no enhancement, and an excellent polish that yields crisp facet junctions and lively light return. The vivid color intensity sits in an ideal zone for a Pigeons Blood designation, showing a pure primary red hue with a subtle cool overtone that deepens the perceived richness under both daylight and incandescent viewing conditions.

From a craftsmanship and engagement ring perspective, this ruby is exceptional. The mixed brilliant cut offers a balance between lively scintillation and a stable visual mass, making it well suited for central ring settings where both light performance and color dominance are critical. At 2.01 carats and the given dimensions, the stone presents a generous face up area for its carat weight, which is advantageous for achieving a commanding presence without excessive profile height. As corundum with a Mohs hardness of 9, ruby provides superior everyday durability and resistance to abrasion, and the eye clean clarity reduces the risk of visible disturbance in common wear scenarios. For mounting we recommend settings that secure the girdle and protect the pavilion, while maintaining an unobstructed crown to maximize light entry, for example a four prong low profile or a refined bezel with minute milling. The GRS report documents natural origin and lack of heat treatment, offering provenance and treatment transparency that discerning buyers require for an engagement purchase. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the gemology and sourcing on this piece, and we can advise on complementary diamonds, metal selection, and design options to create an engagement ring that showcases the intense Pigeons Blood color, enduring material properties, and precise cut geometry of this Mozambique ruby.
