2.34 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent C.Dunaigre certified Vivid Red ruby weighs 2.34 carats, and is cut into a classic pear shape with dimensions of 9.98 x 7.78 x 3.17 mm, presenting balanced outline and pinpoint symmetry between the pointed tip and the rounded shoulder. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant crown with pavilion faceting optimized to intensify face up fire while preserving saturated body color. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which affords excellent transparency and a natural internal texture that enhances the stone’s depth without distracting from its color. The vivid color intensity, paired with an excellent polish, produces strong table and facet reflections and lively scintillation across the pavilion facets. The ruby has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement for Mozambican material, applied with full disclosure and documented on the accompanying C.Dunaigre certificate.

Origin is Mozambique, and this specimen exemplifies responsible sourcing practices that are central to The Natural Ruby Company. The C.Dunaigre certification provides independent verification of origin and treatment, supporting a traceable chain of custody from mine to client. Our procurement prioritizes suppliers who adhere to conflict free standards, fair labor practices, and measurable community reinvestment, and we engage with cutting ateliers that apply meticulous hand finishing and precise facet alignment to maximize optical performance. As corundum, this ruby carries the durability of Mohs hardness 9, making it suitable for everyday wear in ring, pendant, or bespoke designs, and its pear profile responds well to prong work that maximizes light entry, or to a protective bezel when setting the pointed end. For the conscious collector seeking documented provenance, transparent enhancements, and artisanal craftsmanship, this vivid Mozambique ruby is a technically distinguished choice that complements an ethically oriented collection, and it is offered with full certification and supply chain disclosure through The Natural Ruby Company.
