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

From the red earth of Mozambique to the careful hands of our master cutters, these two transparent rubies travel a story that celebrates both nature and craft, The Natural Ruby Company brings them to you with pride. Born in alluvial deposits where centuries of geological pressure and heat coaxed chromium rich crystals into striking hues, each gem began life as rough, sleeping color. Miners and local communities in Mozambique have long treated ruby bearing gravels with respect, working by hand to recover stones that would otherwise remain hidden. These particular rubies weigh 0.48 carats and 0.53 carats respectively, they are oval shaped, pinkish red in tone, and their dimensions measure 6.13 x 4.14 x 2.13 millimeters and 6.26 x 4.21 x 2.38 millimeters. Evaluated at eye level, their clarity is described as very slightly included, their color intensity is intense, their polish is excellent, and they display a mixed brilliant cut that balances internal fire with a graceful silhouette. To enhance their inherent beauty the pair has undergone careful heat treatment, a traditional technique that stabilizes color and clarity while honoring the stone rather than altering its essential character.

In the workshop these rubies find their final purpose, perfect companions for a custom pair of earrings conceived with intention and soul. Their matched yet naturally unique weights allow a jeweler to craft a pair that feels alive on the ear, the slight difference adding personality rather than awkwardness, while their oval measurements make them ideal for bezel, claw, or halo settings that emphasize the pinkish red glow. A designer might frame them in warm 18 karat gold to complement the intense color, or set them in cool platinum for a modern contrast, the mixed brilliant cut ensuring sparkle from every angle. At The Natural Ruby Company we trace each step of this journey, from mine to market, and we invite you to collaborate with our team to choose mounting, metal, and finishing touches that will transform these Mozambican rubies into an heirloom pair of earrings. When worn, they will carry stories of distant rivers, skilled hands, and time tempered beauty, a connection between earth and wearer that is visible every time they catch the light.
