0.93 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This ruby began its journey deep within the storied soils of Burma Myanmar, where geological forces over eons concentrated chromium rich minerals into the heart of corundum, producing that rare and fiery red that has been prized across cultures and centuries. Hand recovered by skilled local miners and gently brought to light, this gem carries with it a provenance that we at The Natural Ruby Company honor and protect, documented as Other certified Vivid to Intense Red. At 0.93 carat, this round shaped red ruby measures 6.00 x 5.88 x 3.08 mm, and it is transparent, revealing its inner life with clarity and depth. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to balance scintillation and color, allowing flashes of light to dance across its surface while preserving the core crimson that makes Burmese rubies so desirable. Its clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a reassuring sign that this is an authentically natural stone, and its color intensity is intense, a living red that reads both warm and vivid as light moves through the facets.

After extraction the rough crystal traveled to master cutters who considered every facet and angle to coax the most expressive personality from the stone, shaping a mixed brilliant cut that yields both fire and saturation. Polishing was performed with patience and skill until the surface achieved an excellent polish, a finish that amplifies the gem s presence whether set close to the skin or mounted to catch the light from a distance. You will notice natural inclusions that tell the story of the ruby s formation, tiny signposts of pressure and heat that give the gem character and confirm its untreated state. This piece has no enhancement, no heat treatment or diffusion, a detail that matters to collectors and connoisseurs who seek purity of origin and a connection to the earth as it originally formed. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind this stone s documented journey from mine to market, and our certification reflects the ruby s natural color range and transparency.

Beyond provenance and craft, this ruby is supremely versatile, ready to inhabit both casual and formal wardrobes with equal grace. In daytime wear it serves as a striking focal point on a simple pendant or a delicate bezel set ring, adding warmth to linen and denim while remaining understated enough for everyday confidence. For evening and formal occasions the intense red of this gem becomes dramatic and refined, whether presented as a classic solitaire or as the centerpiece of a halo design that elevates its scintillation and presence. The mixed brilliant cut is forgiving in a variety of settings, maximizing sparkle under gallery lighting and offering a comfortable profile for rings and earrings alike thanks to its balanced proportions. Pair this stone with warm metals like yellow or rose gold to enhance its natural flame, or combine with cool white metals for a modern contrast that highlights the gem s pure tone. Its 0.93 carat weight and precise 6.00 x 5.88 x 3.08 mm dimensions make it suitable for custom commissions, heirloom restorations, and contemporary designs, offering a rare untreated color and the tactile pleasure of an expertly polished surface.
