0.42 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Ruby Pair from Mozambique

This matched pair of round brilliant rubies presents a clear and consistent specification useful for precise design work, each weighing 0.21 carats, with the first measuring 3.88 x 3.79 x 2.19 millimeters, and the second measuring 3.80 x 3.72 x 2.14 millimeters. Both stones are cut to a brilliant round profile, exhibiting excellent polish and closely aligned proportions, which together support uniform light return and a balanced face up appearance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal features that do not detract from overall transparency, and color is described as vivid intensity, a saturated red that is evenly distributed across each pavilion and crown. The stones have undergone standard heat treatment to enhance color and clarity, a stable and widely accepted practice in the trade, and the documented origin for this pair is Mozambique, a source noted for producing rubies with strong chroma and clean crystalline material. The Natural Ruby Company provides these technical details to support informed decisions in high quality jewelry fabrication.

Optical and material characteristics make this pair particularly well suited to statement earring applications in high fashion, where precise color matching and consistent sparkle are essential. At roughly 3.8 millimeters diameter each, the stones are compact, yet the vivid red and excellent polish create a visual impact that reads larger in face up view than raw carat alone might suggest. The brilliant cut maximizes scintillation, which is especially advantageous in earring designs that move with the wearer, as the play of light enhances perceived color intensity and presence. Designers will find these rubies compatible with a range of mounting styles, from minimalist stud settings that emphasize concentrated color, to halo or cluster constructions that magnify visual scale. In drop and chandelier compositions, these rubies function effectively as focal anchors when paired with accent diamonds or complementary colored gemstones, and their very slightly included clarity ensures reliable performance under typical wear.

Practical setting and design considerations are straightforward given the measured proportions and consistent matching of this pair. The shallow pavilion depth near 2.15 millimeters supports a low profile seat for stud and bezel mounts, while still providing sufficient crown height for prong and gallery settings that expose surface area for light interaction. When specifying metal, yellow gold or rose gold will warm the red and amplify classic high fashion palettes, while white gold or platinum will create a cooler contrast that emphasizes brilliance. For designers seeking maximal statement, a halo of small brilliant cut diamonds will increase perceived diameter and add contrast, whereas a closed back bezel will protect the pavilion and maintain a sleek contemporary silhouette. Heat treatment is stable, however routine care to avoid harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shocks will preserve surface polish and color over time. Given the near identical dimensions and matched visual appearance, these stones are ready for paired use without the need for further sorting or regrading.

The Natural Ruby Company supplies these rubies with full disclosure of enhancement and origin, supporting provenance sensitive design and procurement. For high fashion earring projects that demand exacting match, consistent color, and dependable light performance, this pair offers a combination of vivid color, precise cutting, and professional finish. Designers and bench setters will appreciate the predictable mounting parameters, and the stones versatility allows both understated luxury studs and bold couture configurations. These rubies are a suitable choice when the design brief calls for confident red tone, reliable polish, and a pair that reads coherently on both ears in a statement making composition.
