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

Imagine two delicate teardrops of dawn, caught and kept for you, each a whisper of pinkish red light that seems to hold an early sunrise. These pear shaped rubies are composed to flirt with the eye, one weighing 0.21 carats, the other 0.24 carats, their little bodies cut in a mixed brilliant style that fragments light into a private constellation. Their dimensions are intimate and exact, 5.04 x 3.10 x 1.72 mm and 5.11 x 3.03 x 1.94 mm, measurements that promise to sit like poetry against the skin. At first glance their medium intense color draws you closer, a sweet balance between passion and tenderness, while their clarity reads as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a small, honest signature of nature within each gem. The polish is excellent, each facet a tiny mirror that makes the rubies breathe and sing, and the enhancement is heat treated, a traditional, stable refinement that deepens their natural voice. At The Natural Ruby Company we see these stones as companions for moments that matter, small constellations to carry through life.

There is craftsmanship in their geometry, and practicality in their provenance, each facet a decision that honors both beauty and truth. The mixed brilliant cut allows for scintillation and depth, the pear shape lends a romantic silhouette that lengthens fingers and frames pendants, and the careful polishing ensures a surface that shimmers without distraction. These are not anonymous sparks, they are rubies from Mozambique, sourced with attention to how the earth is touched and returned. Our partners on the ground adhere to eco friendly mining practices, working to minimize surface disturbance and to rehabilitate land as mining progresses. Water management and recycling measures reduce impact on local rivers and wells, and controlled, low impact extraction techniques are used to preserve surrounding ecosystems. Small scale and artisanal miners who supply these stones are engaged through transparent channels, with an emphasis on fair wages and community investment that supports education and local health initiatives. Heat treatment, applied with professional restraint, enhances color and stability, creating gems that will last a lifetime without compromising the integrity of the material or the care taken in its recovery.

Picture this matched pair set into a delicate locket, a custom pair of earrings, or a slender bypass ring where the teardrops balance one another like two promises. Their size invites intimacy, a jewel that leans toward the wearer rather than shouting for attention, a choice for someone who treasures restraint and radiance in equal measure. The pinkish red hue is versatile, echoing both warm and cool tones, and the medium intense saturation ensures visibility while remaining refined. For the person who seeks a story as much as a sparkle, these rubies arrive with a narrative of careful hands and thoughtful methods, a gem born of Mozambican soil and nurtured through practices that aim to respect people and the planet. At The Natural Ruby Company we are proud to offer stones that carry both beauty and responsibility, each pair accompanied by our promise to trace origin and treatment with clarity. If you wish to see how these pear shaped rubies might complete your vision, we welcome your questions, and we will guide you toward a setting that celebrates their voice, their provenance, and the quiet romance they whisper into the light.
