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

From the red soils of Mozambique to the bench of your jeweler, these rubies carry a story that begins under the African sun, where crystallized aluminum and traces of chromium gradually formed deep, saturated color over eons. Mined with care from alluvial pockets known for yielding gems with vibrant hues, these transparent rubies present a natural vibrancy that draws the eye, each stone whispering its origin through tone and clarity. One weighs 0.78 carats and the other 0.71 carats, each fashioned into a round shape with mixed brilliant cuts that maximize their internal fire and scintillation. Their dimensions, 5.14 x 5.11 x 3.73 mm and 5.22 x 5.16 x 3.36 mm, speak to the careful planning behind each cut, balancing proportion and brilliance. Evaluated at eye level, they are eye clean, a clarity grade that makes them particularly suitable for close wearable pieces such as earrings, and their vivid color intensity and excellent polish reveal the patient work of faceters who coaxed the best possible light from each crystal. These gems have been heat treated, a standard enhancement that intensifies color and improves clarity, revealing the ruby you see now, bold and ready to be set.

When you imagine a custom pair of earrings, picture these paired rubies as twins that complement rather than replicate, their slight weight and dimension differences adding a natural, human quality when set by an artisan. At The Natural Ruby Company we often guide clients toward settings that celebrate round mixed brilliant cuts, such as low profile bezels that emphasize color, prong settings that maximize sparkle, or halo designs that create modern contrast while preserving a wearable silhouette. The journey continues at the jeweler s bench, where metal, light, and technique converge to create a finished piece you will reach for again and again. These rubies are ideal for thoughtful, bespoke designs, offering both presence and versatility, whether you envision them as timeless studs for everyday elegance or as drop earrings that catch light in evening settings. We recommend routine gentle cleaning to maintain their polished beauty, and we stand ready to assist in matching these stones to the perfect metal and design, ensuring the finished earrings reflect the provenance, craftsmanship, and enduring warmth that began their journey in Mozambique.
