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

From the red earth of Mozambique to the careful hands of our cutters, these rubies tell a story of patience and refinement, a story we are proud to share at The Natural Ruby Company. Mined by artisanal teams who know each seam and vein, the crystals were chosen for their transparency and rich hue, then transported to our workshop where skilled cutters shaped them into elegant emerald cut stones. The pair weigh 0.52 carats and 0.61 carats respectively, measuring 6.03 by 3.90 by 2.29 millimeters and 5.94 by 3.91 by 2.64 millimeters, each facet planned to reveal the stones vivid color intensity and to maximize light return. Evaluated at eye level, they are graded very slightly included, a clarity characteristic that speaks to their natural origin while still offering clear, lively windows into the heart of the gem. Heat treated to enhance color and stability, these rubies retain their natural soul and gain a polished finish of excellent quality, the precise faceting and finish reflecting the long tradition of gem cutting that connects modern craft to centuries of cultural reverence for ruby red.

Beyond their beauty these emerald cut rubies are built for life, meant to be worn and admired daily, not locked away. As corundum, rubies rate nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making them exceptionally resistant to scratches and abrasions that commonly affect other gems in everyday settings. The emerald cut adds a practical benefit, creating broad, flat facets that disperse impact and allow a secure fit in settings that protect corners and edges, while our setting recommendations focus on ensuring prongs and bezels shield the table and girdle during routine wear. Heat treatment is an industry standard that improves color and has no adverse effect on durability, and with simple care such as removing jewelry during heavy manual work and avoiding harsh chemicals, these stones will remain vivid and polished for generations. For anyone seeking a pair of rubies that carries a clear provenance from Mozambican mine to masterful finish, and that combines evocative history with long lasting wearability, this matching pair embodies the promise of The Natural Ruby Company, a heirloom ready to be set, worn, and loved.
