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

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Ruby Company I understand what you are searching for, whether you are selecting the perfect engagement stones, building a signature piece for a milestone, or adding a rare and meaningful pair to a collector assortment. This beautiful, transparent pair of rubies arrives as a matched set, one weighing 0.53 carats and the other 0.54 carats, making them ideal for earrings, matched side stones, or a pair of coordinating rings. Each stone is cut in an asscher octagon shape, with precise dimensions of 4.95 x 4.89 x 2.16 mm for the 0.53 carat stone, and 4.96 x 4.94 x 2.20 mm for the 0.54 carat stone, providing exceptional symmetry. These rubies have been asscher cut to emphasize their internal clarity and to create a refined interplay of light across step facets. They are graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which translates to superb transparency and minimal visual inclusions for a ruby of this caliber. The color intensity is described as intense, and the polish is excellent, producing a surface finish that catches the eye and holds attention. These rubies originate from Mozambique, a source recognized for producing vivid and desirable ruby material, and they have undergone responsible heat treatment to enhance their color and clarity, a standard and stable enhancement within the trade.

When you place these asscher cut rubies in hand you will notice the quiet, structured beauty that this cut provides, a beauty that pairs precision with deep color in a way that feels both modern and timeless. The asscher octagon silhouette provides crisp corners and a series of concentric, stepped facets that draw light evenly across the pavilion and crown, creating an elegant, hall of mirrors effect that complements the intense red tone. Because these stones are closely matched in weight and size, they offer a harmony that is rare to find, especially in transparent material from a single origin. For someone imagining an engagement ring that is refined and understated, these rubies can sit side by side as a twin stone design, or they can flank a diamond in a three stone setting for a statement of balance and passion. For collectors seeking provenance and beauty, the matching nature of the pair increases desirability, as matched pairs are harder to assemble and therefore more meaningful when they do appear. The excellent polish ensures that every angle and facet reads cleanly, which means that in custom settings the stones will reflect metal and light in a way that feels intentional and composed.

Beyond their immediate visual appeal these rubies are exceptionally well suited to become the foundation of a family legacy. Rubies, as corundum, carry a corundum hardness nine on the Mohs scale, which makes them resilient for daily wear and for generations of handling and reworking into new settings as tastes change. The matched pair format invites a variety of heirloom possibilities, they can begin life as cherished earrings worn on anniversaries, then be transformed into a pendant and ring set for a future heir, or be reset to mark births, marriages, and anniversaries across decades. The intense color and very very slightly included clarity create a lasting impression, and the fact that they are from Mozambique gives them a clear place of origin that you can tell and retell in family stories, increasing their emotional and provenance value as they pass from one generation to the next. Heat treatment, when properly disclosed and done for stability, is a standard practice that enhances beauty without compromising longevity, and our team at The Natural Ruby Company is committed to full transparency about treatments and origin so that your decisions can be made with confidence. As an investment in sentiment and in material worth, a well matched, deeply colored pair like this is a quiet statement of intention, something you can hand down with confidence that it will still command admiration in years to come.

At The Natural Ruby Company we tailor our process to ensure your quest truly ends with the right gem, offering personalized guidance on mounting, metal choices, and design approaches that honor the stones while reflecting your personal story. For these asscher octagon rubies we often recommend settings that showcase the stepped geometry of the cut, such as low bezel rails that protect the corners, minimal prong work to let light breathe, or paired mirror settings that emphasize the matching relationship between the two gems. Because the stones are nearly identical in size and weight, custom designs are simpler to execute and yield a balanced result without compromise. If you seek a romantic, modern engagement pair, an elegant set of matched stud earrings for everyday luxury, or a collector grade pair to anchor an estate, these rubies meet those needs with style and substance. I invite you to contact The Natural Ruby Company for a private consultation, where we will discuss certification, setting options, and care, and where we will help you imagine how these rubies will live across a life and into a lineage, becoming not just jewelry, but a foundational piece of family history.
