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

This pair of fancy shape pinkish red rubies from The Natural Ruby Company presents a rare combination of precise proportions and intense color, each weighing 0.51 carats and 0.59 carats respectively, with dimensions of 7.11 x 5.15 x 1.79 mm and 7.24 x 5.23 x 2.12 mm. Both stones are step cut, heat treated, and graded very very slightly included at eye level, with an excellent polish that maximizes surface reflection and internal return. Compared to the high sparkle of round brilliant diamonds, which rely on numerous small facets to produce scintillation, these step cut rubies offer broad, mirror like flashes that emphasize rich red saturation rather than a spray of white light. Against sapphires and spinel that often present colder blue or purple tones, these Mozambique rubies return warm, velvety reflections that make color itself the primary source of brilliance. The high clarity and exemplary polish allow each facet plane to act like a tiny mirror, producing elegant, directional reflections that change subtly with movement, which sets these rubies apart from heavily included stones that scatter light and appear dull.

In practical terms these rubies deliver a level of visual impact and long term value that many other gemstones cannot match, the intense color intensity and clean internal appearance create a depth that reads as luminous even under softer light, and the step cut further concentrates this depth into smooth, striking flashes. Compared to garnet and tourmaline of similar hue, these rubies show superior refractive behavior and a more enduring prestige on the market, while the durability of ruby makes them excellent for everyday jewelry, especially matched earring pairs where symmetry and consistent reflection are critical. The Mozambique origin and standard heat enhancement are consistent with top commercial gem practices, offering predictable stability and strong value for color. At The Natural Ruby Company we select pieces that balance fine cutting, eye clean clarity, and potent color, and this matched pair exemplifies that approach, delivering refined reflection, dependable wearability, and a distinctive presence that will outperform many alternate stones in both aesthetic appeal and market desirability.
