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

These two transparent rubies began their journey deep within the mineral-rich soils of Mozambique, where centuries of geological pressure and heat coaxed chromium rich corundum into life. A small team of miners carefully recovered the rough crystals, and those crystals traveled from the earth to a cutter who saw their potential. Through skillful planning and the mixed brilliant cut, each oval shaped pinkish red ruby was faceted to reveal its inner fire, and the final polish brought out an intense color intensity that captures light with a lively, warm glow. The pair weigh 1.02 carats and 1.28 carats respectively, with dimensions of 7.34 x 5.18 x 2.95 mm and 7.26 x 5.27 x 3.57 mm, and they present as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural origin that adds character without compromising their radiance. These rubies received a standard heat treatment to enhance clarity and color stability, and their excellent polish ensures smooth facets and consistent reflection, attributes that make them both resilient and beautiful in fine jewelry.

For a custom pair of earrings these rubies are ideal, as their matched tones and transparent clarity will dance together on either side of the face, creating a balanced and elegant presentation. The slight difference in weight and depth adds a touch of organic authenticity, while the oval shape and mixed brilliant cut maximize sparkle whether set as studs, drops, or halo designs, and the dimensions listed help a jeweler design perfectly proportioned settings that cradle the stones securely. As a seller with The Natural Ruby Company I recommend settings that allow light to enter from beneath and around the stones, such as open back prongs or delicate bezel mounts, to showcase the intense pinkish red hue and the excellent polish. These rubies carry the cultural significance of rubies across many traditions, symbolizing passion, vitality, and protection, and their Mozambique origin ties them to a modern source of exceptional color. If you are imagining a bespoke pair of earrings that feels personal and storied, these rubies are ready to be crafted into heirloom pieces, and I am available to assist with design ideas, metal choices, and secure mounting options that highlight their natural beauty.
