2.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This remarkable Mozambique ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is a study in refined intensity, a transparent 2.01 carat pear shaped gem measuring 10.16 by 5.95 by 4.02 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and life. Viewed at eye level it presents as very slightly included, a clarity grade that allows the vivid, saturated red to sing without distraction, while an excellent polish delivers a surface that mirrors light with a silk-like finish. Heat treatment, the accepted and stable enhancement for rubies of distinction, enriches the stone’s innate color and clarity, revealing the deep, velvety tones only Mozambique’s finer crystals can produce. Set in the right mount, this pear will read as an heirloom-quality jewel, its generous length and graceful taper giving it the poise of a classic drop, yet the intensity and presence of a statement gem worn with confidence.

Envision this pear ruby as the heart of a bespoke creation where every complementary element underscores its luxurious character, a composition I would be proud to craft for you at The Natural Ruby Company. For a ring, place the ruby in a delicate halo of tiny round brilliant white diamonds, their crisp scintillation framing the red and amplifying its warmth, while tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders add architectural elegance and lengthen the finger. Alternatively, embrace contrast with a trio setting, pairing the pear with two kite-shaped or trillion-cut emeralds whose verdant hue will make the ruby’s red appear even more alive, mounted in polished rose gold for a modern, romantic glow. As a pendant, suspend the pear from a slender bezel of 18 carat yellow gold and accent it with a single bezel-set cognac diamond beneath, creating a cascade of rich, autumnal tones that move luxuriously with the wearer. For a more contemporary aesthetic, consider flanking the ruby with soft pink sapphires and micro pavé diamonds for a layered, tactile effect that reads both youthful and supremely sophisticated. Across any design, select complementary accent stones that are well matched in cut and proportion, and choose settings that protect the pointed tip of the pear while allowing maximum light penetration, ensuring this Mozambique beauty endures as a personal emblem of taste and achievement.
