2.60 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

A rare opportunity awaits the collector and the connoisseur, an exquisite transparent 2.60 carat oval pinkish red ruby that commands attention at first glance. Measuring 10.68 x 7.33 x 3.17 mm, this gem presents an elegant elongated silhouette that flatters the hand and the neckline, the mixed brilliant cut delivering lively scintillation across its surface. Its color reads as vivid, saturated and alive, a rare hue that owes its depth to Mozambican origin, while an excellent polish allows each facet to sing with the kind of brilliance that distinguishes a true heirloom. Clarity is graded as included, evaluated at eye level, which lends this stone character and authenticity, a reminder that natural treasures carry their history within. This ruby has been responsibly heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that enriches color and transparency, and it has been handled with expert care by The Natural Ruby Company to preserve its integrity and maximize its radiance.

Provenance and scarcity elevate this ruby beyond mere ornament, placing it in a distinct class reserved for clients who seek distinction and provenance. Rubies of vivid intensity, at a weight of 2.60 carats and with such pleasing dimensions, are seldom found with this combination of color and cut, and Mozambique has emerged as a source of some of the planet’s most desirable rubies. The included clarity speaks to its natural origin, and each tiny internal feature contributes to the gem’s unique fingerprint. The excellent polish is not merely cosmetic, it is the final act of craftsmanship that allows light to travel and return with maximum impact, and it is the kind of finishing touch that collectors notice immediately. At The Natural Ruby Company we curate pieces like this with a dedicated eye to rarity, and we offer exclusivity through careful selection, professional assessment and bespoke presentation to those who appreciate the story behind their jewels.

This ruby was chosen not only for its beauty, but for its adaptability to a wide spectrum of bespoke jewelry designs, making it an ideal center stone for transformative commissions. As a solitaire ring it can become an unforgettable engagement piece, the oval shape lending a flattering elongation when set in a simple prong setting to maximize light return, or in a low bezel for modern security and everyday wear. For those who favor drama and scale, a halo of carefully matched diamonds or pink sapphires will amplify perceived size and intensify the rosy red tone, while a three stone composition can frame the ruby with trapezoid or tapered baguette diamonds for timeless balance. In pendants and drop earrings the ruby will impart warmth and movement, and when paired with complementary colored gems such as padparadscha sapphires, spinels or cognac diamonds, the resulting palette is bespoke and singular. Consider pavé bands for bridal sets that shimmer alongside the main gem, a hidden halo for a private flourish, or a tension setting to showcase modern engineering and unobstructed light. For pieces that require extra durability, custom bezels or half bezel designs can be crafted to protect the girdle without sacrificing style, and our lapidary team can advise on orientations and mounting strategies to minimize the visual impact of any inclusions while celebrating the stone’s natural beauty.

Owning this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of collectors and patrons who commission jewels that refuse to blend into the ordinary, and because each commission is bespoke, no two pieces embodying this gem need ever look the same. Availability is limited, and we encourage those who feel the spark of connection to request a private consultation, where our gemologists and design specialists will explore metals such as platinum, 18 karat yellow gold, rose gold and white gold, and will propose settings that complement lifestyle, aesthetic and comfort. We provide full disclosure on treatments, origin and careful handling notes, and we pair this transparency with meticulous design guidance, secure mounting and long term aftercare. For everyday wear we recommend routine gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, occasional professional inspection of the setting, and mindful storage away from harder stones. Commission a ring, a pendant, a bespoke pair of drop earrings, or a signature cocktail ring, and allow us to craft an object that will be passed down through generations, a singular expression of taste and provenance. Contact The Natural Ruby Company to arrange views, measurements and exclusive design proposals, and secure a ruby that stands out for its color, its cut, and the rare story it carries.
