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

At The Natural Ruby Company we select matched pairs that outperform most market offerings in both visual harmony and enduring value. This beautiful pair of transparent rubies weighs 1.03 carats and 1.05 carats respectively, and they are emerald cut pinkish red rubies that sit in a sweet spot for designer use. The gems measure 6.88 by 4.85 by 2.94 millimeters and 6.96 by 4.69 by 3.02 millimeters. They display vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that gives clean table reflections and lively face up color. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a level of clarity that is rare to find in such well matched pairs. These rubies are heat treated, which is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and improves color, and they come from Mozambique, an origin known for producing lively, saturated rubies that offer exceptional value compared with many alternatives on the market.

What sets this pair apart for designers and collectors is their matching clarity and near identical proportions. Emerald cut stones reveal color and inclusions more directly than brilliant cuts because of their step facets and large open tables. For this reason, finding two stones that match closely in clarity and inclusion type is uncommon. These rubies share the clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and their inclusions are not only minimal but consistent in character and placement. When you set matching stones in symmetrical designs such as a pair of stud earrings, a two stone ring, cufflinks, or mirror image pendants, the eye perceives perfect balance. Other pairs on the market may match in size but diverge in clarity or internal character, leading to one stone appearing warmer or slightly hazier than its partner, or one catching light differently and breaking the symmetry. These Mozambique rubies maintain uniform transparency and saturation, which preserves symmetry and produces an elegant, professional look that is difficult to replicate with mismatched stones.

Beyond symmetry, the overall cut quality and polish of these emerald cuts elevate them above many alternatives. The excellent polish enhances facet brightness and gives crisp facet junctions that interact predictably with light, which matters a great deal in step cut stones. The slightly different table dimensions and pavilion depths between the two stones are within close tolerance, and this contributes to a matched face up area and matching light performance. Compared to mass market pairs that might be assembled from disparate lots or sourced without strict matching criteria, this pair from The Natural Ruby Company was selected with a focus on pairing gems that will behave like twins in a finished setting. The pinkish red hue is vivid without leaning too brown or too purple, making it versatile for both yellow and white metal settings. Because the stones are heat treated, the color is stable and color saturation will hold for everyday wear, unlike some lower grade material that may require heavier enhancement or that will look flat once set.

Designers and buyers will appreciate the practical advantages as well as the aesthetic harmony. The dimensions 6.88 by 4.85 by 2.94 millimeters and 6.96 by 4.69 by 3.02 millimeters fit common emerald cut findings and will slide into most ready made settings with minimal adjustment, but they are equally suited to bespoke mounts where the matched clarity allows for open settings that show the gems to best effect. In comparison to rubies sourced from other regions, Mozambique material often offers a brighter and more modern pinkish red tone at a more accessible price point than some classic Burmese pieces, while still providing excellent transparency and strong saturation. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the selection and pairing process, and we can assist with setting recommendations, orientation guidance to minimize light leakage, and design notes that will help jewelers and customers maximize the unified look. For anyone seeking a symmetrical pair that reads as a single design element on the finger or as perfectly mirrored accents, this pair delivers immediate visual balance and long term satisfaction.

If you value matched clarity, consistent color, and craftsmanship in your gemstone selection, this pair represents a superior choice. The Natural Ruby Company curated these emerald cut rubies to perform as matched partners in elegant and contemporary jewelry projects, offering the advantages of vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. Whether you are creating a mirrored ring, a pair of fine stud earrings, or a signature two stone piece, these Mozambique rubies will present as a cohesive unit, avoiding the common pitfalls of mismatched pairs.
