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

This pair of transparent Mozambique rubies is presented by The Natural Ruby Company, offered as matched oval stones weighing 2.22 carats and 2.16 carats respectively. Each ruby displays vivid color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, supported by an excellent polish that preserves crisp facet junctions and smooth surfaces. The dimensions are 8.94 by 6.18 by 3.89 millimeters for the heavier stone, and 9.09 by 6.17 by 3.75 millimeters for the lighter stone, producing length to width ratios of approximately 1.45 and 1.47 respectively, proportions that favor classic oval elegance and a generous face up appearance. Both stones are heat treated, a common and stable enhancement for natural rubies that refines color and clarity while maintaining the inherent material properties of the gems.

The mixed brilliant cut employed on these ovals is executed with geometric precision to maximize light play. The crown facet geometry combines triangular and kite shaped facets organized around a proportioned table, and the pavilion facet arrangement is coordinated to return incident light through the crown for optimal brilliance and scintillation. Symmetry of facet placement, consistent pavilion depth, and well balanced crown height reduce light leakage and windowing, producing an even field of color and lively flashes across the face of each stone as the viewing angle changes. The excellent polish enhances facet reflections and sharpness of contrast between light and dark areas, contributing to pronounced scintillation without compromising color saturation. Taken together, the cutting style, proportions, and finish make these rubies well suited for settings that emphasize light interaction, such as open prong or halo mounts, while retaining durability for everyday wear. These properties are documented and presented by The Natural Ruby Company, reflecting a focus on natural origin, documented treatment, and precise cutting to showcase the material qualities of Mozambique rubies.
