1.19 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

In the hush between dusk and dawn a single heart colored ember catches the light, a GIA certified red ruby of 1.19 carat rests like a secret offered to the sky, round and perfectly poised with dimensions of 6.81 by 6.65 by 3.08 millimeters, faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that scatters luminous whispers with every gentle turn. Its transparency is a clear window to an inner flame, vivid color intensity that evokes the first blush of roses beneath a soft sun, and an excellent polish that allows each facet to sing. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the subtle inclusions read like a map of the earth that formed it, intimate markings that do not dim its voice, while the enhancement of heated with residue reveals the hands that coaxed its glow to fullness. Born in the storied soils of Burma Myanmar this ruby carries the patina of ancient mines and seasonal skies, a provenance that deepens its romance and lends a narrative to the jewel. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company the stone is offered with transparent GIA grading, a promise that its beauty is as true as the story you will weave around it.
