1.04 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This listing describes a transparent 1.04 carat pear shape red ruby, with measurements of 6.34 x 4.86 x 4.16 mm, presented in a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish. The clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a level of clarity that maintains strong transparency and visual appeal while showing only minor inclusions under close inspection. The color is vivid in intensity, exhibiting the classic pure red tones associated with fine rubies, and the stone has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement method that optimizes color and clarity without compromising structural integrity. The origin is Burma, Myanmar, a source historically renowned for producing some of the world’s most highly regarded rubies, and this provenance is a meaningful attribute for collectors and connoisseurs seeking authentic, well provenanced gemstones. The Natural Ruby Company presents this ruby with full disclosure of its characteristics, focusing on factual, measurable qualities.

The combination of attributes found in this stone makes it notably rare when compared to similar rubies on the market. Rubies of just over one carat in a pear shape that are both fully transparent and vividly colored are uncommon, because many examples at this size exhibit heavier inclusions, weaker color saturation, or atankier, less attractive tones. The mixed brilliant cut here enhances light return and optimizes the stone’s visual weight, while the excellent polish contributes to a crisp, lively appearance. For those comparing options, the particular convergence of Burmese origin, vivid pure red color, transparency, minimal eye visible inclusions, and precise dimensions of 6.34 x 4.86 x 4.16 mm creates a profile that stands apart from more typical specimens, offering a balance of rarity and practical wearability that is difficult to find.
