2.08 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

There are gemstones that speak in whispers of antiquity, and then there is this extraordinary Mozambique ruby that announces itself with the confident voice of centuries of reverence. We present a transparent 2.08 carat oval shape ruby, measuring 10.91 by 6.75 by 2.99 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fire and color with a refined, classical silhouette. Its pinkish red hue glows with vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish allows light to travel across the facets with assured elegance. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is included, which in no way diminishes its inherent charm, rather it testifies to its natural origin and the journey this stone has made from the earth to the jeweler. Heat treated to enhance its visual purity and color strength, this gem carries the hallmark of centuries of gemstone trade practices that have honed raw beauty into wearable art. At The Natural Ruby Company we recognize that provenance matters, and the Mozambique origin of this ruby connects it to recent deposits that have captivated connoisseurs with rich saturation and brightness that rival historic sources.

Owning this ruby is an act of stewardship, a way to carry forward tradition while appreciating the craftsmanship that transforms rough crystal into a jewel worthy of a crown or an intimate heirloom. The mixed brilliant cut employed here is a deliberate choice, drawing upon classical cutting principles to maximize the stone s brilliance while preserving weight and color. Faceting is performed with exacting skill, each plane aligned to welcome light and return it with warmth, while the excellent polish renders each surface smooth and luminous. The included clarity grade, when seen in context, is often celebrated by collectors who value authenticity over artificial perfection, and heat treatment is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes the tone and improves the stone s personality. For those who cherish lineage and legacy, this ruby offers the rare combination of a storied past and contemporary standards of lapidary excellence, making it suitable for settings that echo tradition, from a timeless solitaire ring to a pendant designed to be worn and then worn again by generations to come.
