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

There are few occasions when a pair of gemstones arrives that commands immediate attention, and these pear shape red rubies from Mozambique stand among those rare discoveries. Presented as a matched duo weighing 1.24 carats and 1.40 carats respectively, each stone has been cut into a graceful pear outline that flatters both classic and contemporary settings. The slightly asymmetric silhouette of a pear shape brings an elegance that elongates and refines, making these rubies ideal for a pair of drop earrings or a bespoke pendant and matching stud ensemble. At first glance their transparency and internal fire announce quality that is not commonly found in cut rubies of this size, and when handled you feel the unmistakable presence of a gem that has been chosen for its visual harmony and for its ability to perform under the most discerning light. The Natural Ruby Company is proud to present them as a limited offering, a duet selected not from a mine run, but from the very best of the Mozambique finds, crafted for connoisseurs who seek not only color, but a narrative of provenance and refinement.

Technical excellence underpins the beauty of these stones, and the specifications tell the story of why they will appeal to the most exacting collectors. The 1.24 carat ruby measures 8.20 x 5.49 x 3.71 mm, while its companion at 1.40 carats measures 8.32 x 5.36 x 4.22 mm, proportions that achieve a pleasing balance between width and length, and that ensure each gem sits with poise in a fine jewelry mount. Both are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that marries pavilion facets designed for scintillation with crown facets cut to maximize color return. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a remark that speaks to their near pristine appearance to the naked eye, while under magnification they reveal the natural hallmarks of genuine corundum. Color intensity is vivid, a deep, saturated red that leans neither too brown nor too purplish, but sits squarely in the hue that aficionados prize. The polish is excellent, which means facets meet crisply and surface luster remains without pits or abrasions, a detail that elevates light performance. These rubies have been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that enhances their clarity and color while preserving their natural origin, Mozambique, a source that has gained international acclaim for producing rubies with dynamic color and impressive crystal quality.

To place these rubies in context, imagine the revered pairs that have graced the most important collections and auction halls, gemstones that are spoken about in tones reserved for the exceptional. While the great names of gemstone lore often reference Burmese and Mogok rubies as benchmarks, Mozambique has in recent years produced examples that rival those storied origins in both color vigour and crystal clarity. These pear shaped rubies compare favorably to the auction record pairs that have defined the market, not by mimicking history, but by offering a modern expression of what collectors now seek, namely superb color, precise cutting, and a matched aesthetic that allows the gems to read as a unit. The mixed brilliant faceting in these stones produces a scintillation reminiscent of the finest matched pairs, while their vivid saturation recalls the intensity coveted in historically significant ruby duos. For the collector who understands that provenance, cut, and optical performance together create a legacy piece, this pair offers an opportunity to own rubies that could be set to become heirlooms in their own right, to be discussed at gatherings of collectors and to be written about in the circles that chronicle gemstone excellence.

Ownership of a matched pair such as this is inherently exclusive, and The Natural Ruby Company curates its offerings with the intent to offer only what is truly exceptional. There are not many matched pears of this quality, size, and color available at any given moment, and when they do appear they move quickly into private collections, bespoke jewelry commissions, or into the portfolios of investors who appreciate the enduring allure of natural ruby. We offer these stones as a rare pairing, suitable for a client who wishes to possess something distinct from mass produced gems, someone who wants a jewel that signals refined taste and a deep appreciation for natural beauty. Our team will assist with bespoke mounting suggestions, certificate options, and careful logistics to ensure that the presentation matches the quality of the stones themselves.
