1.20 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

A single exceptional ruby can redefine what engagement means, and this transparent 1.20 carat oval red ruby from Burma Myanmar does just that. Offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company, this stone measures 7.42 x 5.18 x 3.73 mm, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize life and depth. At eye level it is graded very slightly included, with a clarity that reads as pristine in ordinary wear, and a vivid color intensity that arrests the gaze. The excellent polish allows every facet to speak, sending flashes of vivid red across the surface, and the controlled heat treated enhancement brings out the gemologist certified richness without compromising the natural character of the stone. Owning this ruby places you among a rare few, because rubies of this pedigree, with Burma provenance and this size and tone, are seldom available and highly sought after.

For an engagement ring this ruby is the very definition of a statement that is both timeless and singular. The oval silhouette flatters the finger while offering a larger visual presence than its weight might suggest, a rare economy of size and impact that appeals to collectors and romantic partners alike. Its vivid color embodies passion and commitment, and its transparency and mixed brilliant cut ensure that the stone communicates light and life under every angle. Imagine this ruby set as a classic solitaire in warm rose gold for a vintage inspired declaration, or as the center of a halo with fine brilliant cut accent diamonds to enhance the red without overpowering its natural glow. Each approach creates a piece that feels custom made, as if it were designed for one unique love story.

The Natural Ruby Company curates each gem with the discerning buyer in mind, and this specimen is presented with full disclosure about its origin and treatment, so you are able to make a confident and informed choice. Burma is renowned for producing some of the most desirable rubies in the world, and the combination of origin, vivid color intensity, and excellent polish gives this stone an artisanal quality. The proportions of 7.42 x 5.18 x 3.73 mm lend themselves to custom settings that protect and showcase the gem, with recommendations that include secure four or six prong mounts or a low bezel that preserves the oval profile while offering daily wear durability. Because the stone is very slightly included and transparent, a thoughtful setting will balance protection with maximum light return, ensuring the ruby remains luminous through years of wear.

At The Natural Ruby Company we offer bespoke guidance on metal selection, complementary accent stones, and bespoke mounting techniques to ensure the final piece honors both the gem and your personal story.
