2.35 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

If you have been searching for a single statement ruby that can become the centerpiece of an engagement ring, a treasured pendant, or an heirloom collection, this beautiful transparent 2.35 carat oval pinkish red ruby is the answer you have been looking for, and The Natural Ruby Company is here to make that transformation effortless. This gem measures 8.55 by 6.27 by 4.32 mm, and its elegant oval proportions offer a perfect balance of presence and wearability. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize both scintillation and color return, and the excellent polish ensures a lively surface and crisp facet definition. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level which means the stone reads as clean to the naked eye while retaining natural character, and the medium intense color intensity is exactly what brings that flattering pinkish red tone to life on the finger. This ruby has been heat treated to enhance its visual appeal, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement, and its origin in Mozambique places it within a modern source known for rich, collectible material.

Think of this ruby as a flexible centerpiece that adapts to many design directions, because its size, shape, and eye clean clarity make it ideal for a broad spectrum of settings. For a classic engagement ring, a four or six prong solitaire will showcase the oval silhouette and let maximum light into the mixed brilliant facets, while a halo of fine white diamonds will amplify brilliance and create the impression of even greater spread. If you prefer a modern twist, an east west mounting will lend contemporary charm, and a tension setting will emphasize the gem as if it is floating above the band. For daily wearers who want security and a sleek profile, a low rim bezel will protect the girdle and outline the oval shape with a clean metal frame. Three stone rings, cathedrals, and vintage inspired milgrain settings all work well with this size, and the stone is equally suited to becoming a pendant with a custom bail, a striking cocktail ring, or a pair of matched asymmetric stud earrings where one ruby is matched with a diamond or colored sapphire to create a signature piece.

When planning your custom creation with The Natural Ruby Company, consider how metal choice and side stone pairings will elevate the pinkish red hue. Warm metals such as 18 carat rose gold or yellow gold will deepen the ruby’s red notes and create a romantic, skin flattering effect. White metals and platinum will push the color into a vivid contrast, making the stone pop and giving the piece a contemporary, high contrast look. Surrounding the ruby with near colorless diamonds will increase perceived size and brilliance, while pairing it with soft pastel sapphires such as pale padparadscha tone or light sapphires will create a refined, feminine palette. The mixed brilliant cut means the table and crown facets return light in a lively pattern, so smaller melee diamonds work beautifully as accent stones without competing with the center. For collectors and connoisseurs, the clean face up appearance combined with Mozambique origin and an excellent polish make this sapphire a desirable single specimen for a focused collection.
