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

From the red soils of Mozambique to the quiet light of a jeweler's bench, these rubies tell a simple, honest story, a story that I enjoy sharing at The Natural Ruby Company. Born deep in alluvial deposits, each crystal began as the slow work of earth and time, absorbing traces of heat and pressure that would one day be revealed as color. Miners and local communities coaxed these rough stones from the ground with care, and the rough pieces found their way to cutters who understood how to respect their natural character. After careful sorting, the pair that now arrives to you were shaped into round pinkish red rubies, weighing 0.40 carats and 0.45 carats, their dimensions refined to 4.52 by 4.56 by 2.31 millimeters and 4.51 by 4.53 by 2.54 millimeters. Each was given a mixed brilliant cut to balance internal fire with surface brilliance, and an excellent polish that lets light dance across every facet. Slight inclusions remain visible when evaluated at eye level, a sign of natural origin that contributes to each stone's individuality, and each gem has been responsibly heat treated to enhance clarity and bring out the intense color that gives these rubies their captivating presence.

As a pair, these rubies are ideal for a custom set of earrings, because matched tone and complementary dimensions are the foundation of balanced design. Picture them set as classic studs in warm 18 karat gold, where the pinkish red glow warms the skin, or imagine them cradled in delicate halo settings that amplify their mixed brilliant cut, or placed in contemporary bezel mounts for everyday resilience. Their modest sizes translate into versatile comfort, they sit close to the ear for a refined silhouette, and their intense color intensity ensures they read as vivid even from a distance. When I guide clients through a custom commission, I speak of provenance and personality, and these stones give you both, carrying the memory of Mozambique and the hand of the cutter, ready to become an intimate expression of style. Trust The Natural Ruby Company to pair natural story with thoughtful craftsmanship, and let these rubies begin a new chapter as the centerpiece of a bespoke pair of earrings.
