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

This matched pair of natural Mozambican rubies presents technical attributes that will appeal to discerning buyers and designers, one weighing 1.76 carats and the other 2.00 carats, both fashioned as oval cabochons. The dimensions are 8.21 x 6.27 x 3.46 mm and 8.11 x 6.18 x 3.80 mm, the cabochon dome producing even light return and a saturated, pinkish red appearance. Clarity is graded included at eye level, indicating characteristic internal features that are visible without magnification but do not detract from the overall visual depth, and the polish is excellent, delivering smooth specular highlights across the domed surfaces. These stones are unenhanced, retaining their original material integrity and stability, and originate from Mozambique, a source known for strong, vivid color in corundum. As rubies with inherent toughness on the Mohs scale of 9, they are well suited to everyday wearable settings, while the cabochon form emphasizes color saturation rather than faceted brilliance.

For customers wishing to integrate these cabochons with existing jewelry, The Natural Ruby Company offers precise customization options to ensure seamless aesthetic and dimensional continuity. Because the two stones are close in outline and weight, we can align their long axes and match dome heights and girdle profiles to achieve visual symmetry for earrings or paired mounts. Where needed we can perform controlled re-polishing to fine tune dome curvature, and we can recommend conservative re-cutting to exact size targets, noting that any re-cut will reduce carat weight. Our workshop will assess included features and orient each stone in the setting to present the cleanest face up appearance, using orientation and selective trimming to balance translucency and conceal internal characteristics when desired.

Recommended mounting strategies for these cabochons prioritize security and color enhancement, with a full bezel setting providing protective rim containment and uninterrupted color presentation, and a low bezel or collet allowing a slight reveal of the pavilion where design requires it. Metal choices impact perceived hue, with warm yellow or rose gold intensifying the pinkish red tone, and white metals providing high contrast for a contemporary look or for surrounding diamond accents. For bespoke projects we offer on request precise mock ups, lighting comparisons in daylight and incandescent conditions, and tolerance matching to ensure the pair sits uniformly in the final piece.
