0.37 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

A sublime expression of Burmese origin, this transparent 0.37 carat round ruby commands attention with a vivid, intensely saturated red that speaks of history and rarity, dimensions 4.28 x 4.31 x 2.60 mm. Cut in a refined mixed brilliant style, this gem balances the fire of a modern brilliant with the depth and character of a traditional pavilion, creating a lively interplay between scintillation and rich color. Graded slightly included at eye level, the stone retains a crystalline transparency that allows its color to breathe and glow, while its excellent polish elevates every facet to a mirror finish, producing crisp, clean light returns. Heat treated to enhance its natural hue in a manner consistent with best practices, this ruby from Burma presents itself as an heirloom ready to be set, admired, and preserved, offered exclusively through The Natural Ruby Company.

The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize the inherent optical virtues of this ruby, aligning crown facets to disperse light into lively pinpoint flashes, while the carefully shaped pavilion facets guide that light back through the table to enrich the stone with a saturated, velvety red. The relatively shallow depth at 2.60 mm compared with its diameter allows light to spread and reflect across the surface, producing broad flashes of color rather than a single dark core, and the faceting pattern creates a dynamic contrast between scintillation and color saturation. Slight inclusions give the gem character without compromising brilliance, acting as natural fingerprints that confirm its authenticity and origin. For the discerning collector, this ruby is a rare convergence of geography, craftsmanship, and finish, an assertion of refined taste that transforms ownership into personal distinction. The Natural Ruby Company invites you to make this exquisite Burmese ruby your signature, a concise testament to elegance and enduring value.
