1.03 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

The captivating allure of our transparent 1.03 carat cushion-shaped pinkish red ruby captivates connoisseurs with its exquisite blend of weight, craftsmanship, and aesthetic brilliance. At the heart of discerning gem selection lies an appreciation for both the intrinsic and extrinsic appeal provided by the ruby's dimensions of 5.84 x 5.67 x 3.26 mm. This facet in combination with its substantial weight underscores its allure and positions it as both a valuable and rare addition to any collector's portfolio. Within the gemstone market, the discussion of weight cannot be separated from the conversation of value as heavier stones are typically rarer and thus, more coveted. This particular ruby serves as both a testament to rarity and a paradigm of sophisticated personal luxury.

Featuring a mixed brilliant cut, our ruby exemplifies the synergy between careful craftsmanship and nature's inherent beauty. The excellence of this cut goes beyond aesthetics as it proficiently enhances light performance and optimizes the interplay of brilliancy and fire within the gemstone. The intricacy of a mixed brilliant cut involves a meticulous blend of stepped and triangular facets meticulously aligned to coax the maximum luminosity from within the heart of the stone. Such precise engineering of facets enables the ruby to transcend the commonplace interplay of light and emerges into the realm of sheer vibrancy and intensity. This cut unveils a captivating sheen, appealing even to the most seasoned of gemstone enthusiasts associated with The Natural Ruby Company.

Crucial to our evaluation, the clarity grade of this ruby is cataloged as very slightly included, and is done so through keen eye-level appraisal. This grade confirms the minimal presence of inclusions that might detract from the ruby's inherent lustrous beauty. With vivid color intensity mirroring the most electrifying magentas of nature, the ruby exudes an almost transcendent energy. Carefully shaped to entice knowledgeable buyers, the stone embodies the kind of vivid hue that influences not only price, but collector interest and emotional connection as well. Ruby connoisseurs are well aware that inclusions are natural birthmarks, however, the degree of detriment they impose varies and is interpreted by the stone’s clarity designation. Our ruby, with its immense clarity and intense color, stands as a robust performer, commands esteem, and is well-poised as a potential keystone within any aspirational collection.

The ruby's origin further bolsters its noteworthy status, hailing from Burma, or modern-day Myanmar, which is widely celebrated for producing rubies of exceptional quality. Burmese rubies are legendary within the international gemstone market for their outstanding color tone and superior saturation which are often imitated but rarely matched. Such provenance often translates to heightened rarity and desirability as many collectors specifically seek out Burmese rubies for these precise characteristics. Moreover, a ruby of Burmese origin enhances the narrative of owning a piece with historical, geographical, and gemological significance, a facet highly appreciated by gemological circles and serious buyers alike. The esteemed reputation of this locality exponentially augments the value inherent within this single gem.
