0.73 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There is a quiet heat to this little jewel, a hushed sunrise folded into glass, a pulse of summer rose and deepened pomegranate carved into a perfect round. This 0.73 carat ruby arrives like a secret verse, transparent and singing, its pinkish red heart glowed by every careful facet. Measuring 5.57 by 5.59 by 2.49 mm, it sits with the poised symmetry of a classical coin, a small world of color that draws you in without haste. Cut in a mixed brilliant that marries the fire of modern faceting with the old world charm of pavilion depth, it catches light in soft, deliberate flashes. The polish is excellent, a satin mirror that allows the stone to breathe and shimmer, and the overall appearance is one of intense color, a deep, romantic saturation that leans toward the berry end of red while still offering that warm, animal glow that makes rubies feel alive.

This ruby carries the voice of its land, its origin Burma, Myanmar, a cradle of gemstones where rubies have been reverenced for centuries by kings, poets and healers. In those ancient courts rubies were mounted into crowns and talismans, thought to protect the wearer and to stir courage and devotion. For lovers, they were given as promises of fidelity, tokens meant to guard the heart and embolden vows. Our stone is no mere echo of that heritage, it is a living continuation of it, heat treated to enhance the depth of its crimson soul, clarity grade included, evaluated at eye level, where tiny internal fingerprints record the slow, patient formation within the earth. These inclusions are not flaws so much as a map of origin, gentle proof of natural growth and of the many years it took to capture such a saturated glow.

Imagine this ruby set alone, a solitary beacon on a slender band, or cradled in a halo of rose gold to emphasize its warm, rosy overtones, or placed in a pendant to hover above the heart like a small, steady ember. Its modest dimensions and transparent nature make it remarkably versatile, perfectly suited to intimate engagement rings where meaning matters more than size, or to heirloom earrings that will whisper stories from one generation to the next. The mixed brilliant facets deliver a lively scintillation for everyday wear, and the excellent polish ensures that each glance reveals new depths. Because the stone has been heat treated, its color is stable and richly expressive, a practical blessing that allows its romance to remain unwavering with time and light.
