2.44 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

This is a rare and highly attractive natural ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a luminous pear shape weighing 2.44 carats, with precise dimensions of 11.94 x 6.35 x 4.06 mm. The stone is cut as a cabochon, presenting a smooth, domed surface that enhances its deep red hue and produces a soft, velvety glow when held to light. Despite the cabochon style, the ruby remains transparent enough to reveal internal character, and its vivid color intensity delivers a rich, saturated red that captures attention without appearing overstated. The polish on the dome is excellent, producing sharp, clean reflections and a mirror like finish across the surface. This gem displays the elegant teardrop silhouette that makes it ideal for drop style jewelry, allowing roomy proportions for a pendant, a sophisticated single stone ring, or a matched statement earring design.

This ruby is unenhanced, with no heat or other treatments, and its natural origin is Mozambique, a source increasingly prized for top quality rubies. The clarity grade has been evaluated as included at eye level, which means that the stone carries natural internal features that are visible to the unaided eye, contributing to its individuality and proving its natural, untreated history. For many collectors and connoisseurs the presence of such inclusions in an unenhanced stone is a hallmark of authenticity and character, and when combined with vivid color and an excellent polish the result is a ruby with personality and presence. The cabochon cut further accentuates color saturation and luster rather than faceted sparkle, creating a warm, luxurious surface glow that reads beautifully in softer light and under direct illumination. Because the gem is natural and untreated, it is advisable to choose protective settings such as a bezel or halo for everyday wear, and to pair it with warm metals like yellow gold or rose gold to enhance the crimson tones, while white gold or platinum will create a striking modern contrast.
