2.94 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

One beautiful transparent 2.94 carat pear shape red ruby arrives to you as a rare encounter with nature, a jewel that commands attention and restraint, a stone that belongs to a careful few. This gem measures 10.43 by 8.25 by 3.77 mm, presenting a graceful teardrop silhouette that flatters both classic and contemporary settings. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the facet arrangement balances scintillation and depth, allowing flashes of fire to play against an even, dark color intensity. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded included, which attests to natural internal characteristics that speak to authenticity, and the surface shows an excellent polish that amplifies the gem's velvety red hue. This ruby is heat treated to refine its color and enhance clarity, a standard and stable enhancement that honors the stone's inherent beauty while preserving its natural origin in Mozambique. Offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company, this pear shaped ruby is not a mass produced commodity, it is an individually sourced and expertly finished treasure, presented with the provenance and care that collectors and connoisseurs expect.

The journey of this ruby begins in the rugged landscapes of Mozambique, where small scale miners and experienced local field hands search alluvial deposits for fragments of crystalline promise. The rough that becomes this 2.94 carat pear was hand found, examined on site, and gently separated from matrix and host material, a process governed by patience and respect for the stone's natural tendencies. It moved from the mine to a regional sorting house, where experienced gem sorters identified its potential for deep, even red color and transparency, setting it aside as a candidate for a precision cut. The artisan cutter who shaped this gem then studied the rough from every angle, mapping inclusions and assessing the optimum orientation to reveal the richest color and the most pleasing symmetry. The decision to execute a mixed brilliant cut was driven by the desire to marry brilliance with depth, to allow the dark color intensity to glow from within while maintaining lively surface reflections. Heat treatment was applied in a controlled environment to stabilize and enhance the tone and clarity, a step chosen to reveal the stone's fullest expression without diminishing its natural character. Finally, a meticulous polishing session brought the facets to an excellent finish, yielding a tactile and optical surface that responds to light with an aristocratic temperament.
