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

From the depths of Mozambique where intense heat and pressure give birth to crystalline wonders, this matched pair of rubies began as pockets of molten color hidden in the earth, patiently forming layers of chromium rich mineral that impart their pinkish red glow. Miners, working with respect for the land and an eye for fortune, recovered these transparent gems that then traveled to skilled graders and cutters, each step revealing more of their personality. The two stones weigh 0.26 carats and 0.29 carats respectively, and their modest sizes carry a concentrated vitality, like two small embers ready to be fanned into light. You can see the vivid color intensity and the excellent polish that followed careful faceting, and you can appreciate the natural story held in their very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level. These rubies are enhanced by heat treatment, a traditional and stable practice that deepens hue and clarity while preserving the stone s integrity. The origin Mozambique gives them a modern provenance and a connection to a rich gem history, a narrative that adds meaning when the stones are worn close to the skin.

As cutters examined the rough, they chose an oval shape and a mixed brilliant cut to maximize brilliance and color, producing dimensions of 5.20 x 3.17 x 1.80 mm and 5.18 x 3.07 x 1.95 mm that sit harmoniously as a matched pair. The result is perfect material for creating a custom pair of earrings, balanced in weight and matched in tone, ideal for stud settings, halo designs, or simple drop mounts that celebrate their clarity and fire. At The Natural Ruby Company we see these rubies as more than material, they are invitations to design, each facet telling a chapter of origin and craftsmanship. Our bench jewellers can propose settings that emphasize symmetry and light performance, and we can advise on metal choices that complement the pinkish red warmth. If you imagine a custom project that begins with the stone s journey and ends with a wearable heirloom, these Mozambican rubies provide a genuine narrative and a refined aesthetic that will speak softly and consistently every time they are worn.
