0.46 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

If you are searching for a gemstone that ends your quest for a truly exceptional ruby, this transparent 0.46 carat oval pinkish red ruby from Burma is the answer you have been waiting for. At 0.46 carat, with precise dimensions of 6.11 by 3.93 by 2.21 millimeters, this stone offers a rare combination of presence and portability that suits both elegant everyday wear and show stopping one of a kind pieces. The mixed brilliant cut is engineered to maximize scintillation and depth, and the excellent polish ensures each facet delivers sharp, lively reflections. With an intense color intensity and a clarity graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this ruby presents a vivid and transparent body color with just the right natural character to confirm its authenticity and origin. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance stability and color, a widely accepted practice that we disclose transparently, and The Natural Ruby Company proudly offers this gem with full information about its Burmese origin.

Rarity is what separates a good purchase from a truly exceptional acquisition, and this ruby stands apart in both size and color when compared to similar options on the market. Pinkish red tones are often found in smaller stones or in larger specimens that lack saturation, while intensely colored rubies around the half carat mark are uncommon, especially when they retain such clarity and transparency. Many comparable rubies in this weight range tend to be either paler, more purple, or more brown, which diminishes presence and desirability. Conversely, intensely red rubies with the luster of a mixed brilliant cut are frequently very small or, if larger, carry different color zoning and surface characteristics. This particular Burmese ruby therefore occupies a narrow and coveted space, where size, transparent clarity, and intense pinkish red color come together in a way that collectors and discerning buyers recognize as rare and valuable.

Beyond color and size, the cut, polish, and origin of this ruby further elevate it above common options. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen here to optimize both table defined brilliance and pavilion depth, creating a lively balance between fiery flashes and even, saturated color across the oval surface. The excellent polish means that light moves through the stone with minimal interference, producing a crisp and appealing face up appearance. Clarity graded as slightly included at eye level indicates that the stone is essentially transparent and lively, while still carrying the minute inclusions typical of natural rubies from premier origins. These inclusions are part of the stone s natural signature and do not detract from its beauty, rather they confirm authenticity and provenance. Origin from Burma, a source long revered for producing rubies with classic velvety crimson and pinkish red hues, adds another layer of desirability and historical value that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

If your need is for the ideal center stone for an engagement ring, a standout piece for a collector s cabinet, or a one of a kind gift that marks a major life moment, this ruby answers each of those needs with confidence. Its oval shape and 6.11 by 3.93 millimeter face will sit gracefully as a solitaire, gain luminous presence in a halo setting, and provide an elegant focal point in bespoke, modern, or vintage inspired designs. The warm pinkish red will pair beautifully with both platinum and yellow gold, creating either striking contrast or a softer, romantic glow. For a collector seeking rarity, the precise combination of near half carat weight, intense color, Burmese origin, and mixed brilliant craftsmanship is a scarce find that will stand the test of time. For buyers prioritizing longevity and value, we are transparent about the heat treatment and provide context on why this widely accepted enhancement improves color stability and overall attractiveness without detracting from natural origin or market desirability.
