2.22 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Ruby Pair from Mozambique

This pair of pear shaped red rubies from Mozambique presents a rare combination of size, color, and craftsmanship that stands out when compared with many market alternatives. The gems weigh 1.08 carats and 1.14 carats respectively, and measure 6.88 x 4.74 x 3.52 mm, and 6.88 x 4.88 x 3.66 mm, dimensions that make them perfectly suited for matched earrings or a pendant and stud combination. Cut as cabochons, these rubies reveal a soft, translucent glow rather than the sharp brilliance of faceted stones, offering a warmth and depth of color that many collectors and designers seek. Their clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which contributes to a natural character and internal texture that is both honest and appealing, and the medium intense color intensity delivers that classic red presence without veering into overly dark tones. The polish is excellent, providing smooth, reflective surfaces that highlight the stones subtle interplay of light and color, and the enhancement is limited to heat treatment, a widely accepted and stable process used to bring out the best in natural rubies. For buyers who prioritize authentic origin, these stones come from Mozambique, a source known for producing vibrant, well colored rubies that frequently offer better value than rarer origins, making this pair a practical yet elevated choice.

When comparing these cabochon rubies to other options on the market, several advantages become clear. Faceted rubies emphasize sparkle and facet driven fire, which is ideal for certain styles, but cabochons excel at showcasing body color and translucency, making them especially desirable for classic and statement settings that benefit from a smooth, luminous surface. Compared with heavily filled or lead glass treated stones, these heat treated rubies retain structural stability and long term durability, as heat treatment enhances inherent color without introducing unstable filling materials that can degrade over time. Against premium Burmese rubies, which may command extreme premiums for saturated color and historical prestige, these Mozambique rubies offer a compelling middle ground, delivering rich hue and pleasing translucence at a more accessible price point. The nearly identical proportions and matching carat weights of this pair mean less time spent on finding complementary partners, and more immediate value for jewelers and collectors who demand matched symmetry for earrings or paired settings. The slightly included clarity adds character and confirms natural origin, traits that many connoisseurs prefer over overly flawless stones that may flag as synthetic or extensively treated.

From a design and investment perspective these cabochon pear rubies represent a smart, elegant choice, and The Natural Ruby Company is proud to present them as part of our curated selection of natural gemstones.

For clients comparing stones, this pair offers a combination of natural origin, matched pairing, and a pleasing medium intense color that competes favorably against both higher priced origin stones and lower quality treated alternatives.
