0.56 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

In the heart of Southeast Asia, where ancient rivers carve through lush valleys, lies the enigmatic land of Burma—now known as Myanmar. Nestled amidst Myanmar's rugged landscapes are the legendary Mogok mines, the birthplace of some of the world’s most celebrated rubies. It is here, under layers of the Earth's embrace, that our exquisite 0.56 carat oval-shaped pinkish red ruby began its remarkable journey. This particular ruby, hidden beneath layers of metamorphic rock for millennia, absorbed the earthly elements of iron and chromium, which imbue it with its vivid hue—a spectacular pinkish red that tells tales of fervor and beauty. This rich heritage and natural artistry were meticulously captured and brought forth by skilled miners and artisans who uphold the time-honored traditions of their craft.

As this ruby emerged from its geological sanctum, it embarked on a meticulous transformation. Conducting the tasks that nature alone could not, craftsmen wielded their tools with deft precision to reveal the inner brilliance sealed within. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen specifically to enhance the ruby's vibrant heart—a decision that celebrates both the gemstone’s physical allure and its storied origin. This careful crafting forged an interplay of light and nature, where each facet flawlessly refracts the vivid color, drawing deeper connections between its beholder and the breathtaking landscapes from which it was born. The slight inclusions, visible only to the scrutinizing eye, are symbols of authenticity that narrate a profound journey through intense geothermal forces and patient shaping.
