2.22 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

A red ruby of this calibre stands apart from the run of common market choices, and this pear shaped 2.22 carat gem exemplifies why collectors and connoisseurs seek naturally superior stones, offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company. Measured at 12.90 x 5.69 x 3.74 mm, this transparent ruby has been graded and verified by GIA, so buyers can be confident in the accuracy of its attributes and provenance. Where many rubies on the market arrive with glass filling, dyeing, or heat treatment to simulate deeper color and clarity, this stone presents vivid color intensity with no enhancement, an increasingly rare and desirable condition. The mixed brilliant cut has been applied with intention, delivering focused light return and scintillation that you will notice immediately when the stone is set or studied on the hand. Compared to synthetics and treated stones that can look flat or overly uniform, this natural Mozambique ruby displays depth and life, qualities that translate into both aesthetic pleasure and long term value.

Clarity matters when you compare stones of similar carat weight and color, and this ruby carries a clarity grade of Very Slightly Included as evaluated at eye level, a grade that strikes an ideal balance for those who want both transparency and natural character. In many market comparisons, a ground to a faceting precision this high is expensive to achieve, especially on a pear shape that demands symmetry and careful faceting to avoid weak points. The excellent polish enhances every facet edge, producing crisp reflections and a luxurious surface that resists dulling over time. When matched against cheaper alternatives, this gem maintains a superior visual presence at close range and in different light conditions, from warm indoor lighting to bright daylight, preserving its intense red tone without the cloudy or patched appearance so common among lower quality material.

Origin plays a pivotal role in both desirability and investment potential, and Mozambique rubies have emerged as a compelling source for collectors seeking balance between rarity and accessibility. This gem’s certified Mozambique origin, combined with the no enhancement condition and GIA verification, positions it favourably compared to heated stones from other regions that may command similar initial prices but do not offer the same assurance of natural, untreated beauty. For investors and jewellery designers alike, a well cut, unheated ruby of this size and clarity can be repurposed over generations, moving from a striking solitaire ring to a bespoke pendant or heirloom piece without losing its market standing. The pear shape is particularly flattering and versatile, lending itself to both contemporary and classic settings, and when set with careful craftsmanship it amplifies the stone’s natural geometry and brilliance.

Owning this ruby is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, not merely a purchase of a coloured stone. It represents a commitment to authenticity, meticulous cutting, and enduring value, qualities that The Natural Ruby Company places at the centre of each offering. A certified, unenhanced, vivid Mozambique ruby of 2.22 carats is a statement piece that elevates any collection, and it communicates discernment and taste in a way that mass market alternatives cannot. Over time, as treatments and synthetic material continue to populate the market, the scarcity and provenance of an untreated, well cut ruby become ever more important, ensuring that your investment retains its appeal and potential resale strength. For buyers seeking a balance of immediate visual impact and long term value, this GIA certified pear shape ruby is a rare opportunity to own a natural marvel that celebrates both the earths formation and human expertise in cutting and polishing, a signature piece from The Natural Ruby Company.
