1.21 Ct. Star Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There are gems that speak in whispers of ancient courts and pilgrim paths, and this Burmese star ruby is one such jewel. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company, this beautiful translucent red star ruby carries the quiet dignity of stones long treasured by royalty and collectors, a reminder that some designs are timeless and some qualities endure beyond fashion. Its cabochon cut reveals a moving star that floats across the surface with the light, an asterism that invites contemplation and admiration. Originating from Burma Myanmar, this piece is entirely natural with no enhancement, a rarity that links the present to a storied past where untreated rubies were prized for their natural character and provenance.

This gem weighs 1.21 carat and measures 6.91 x 5.21 x 3.16 mm, an elegant oval that balances presence and restraint, perfect for a classic setting that honors tradition. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays a medium intense red color that is both warm and regal, enhanced by an excellent polish that maximizes its translucency and the clarity of its star. Translucent rather than fully transparent, it offers depth and inner fire, a quality that looks exceptional in vintage inspired rings and pendants where the cabochon dome can be admired from every angle. For those who value authenticity and legacy the absence of any enhancement increases its desirability and long term significance.

Presented by The Natural Ruby Company this ruby is ideal for a collector seeking a piece with historical resonance or for a client wishing to create an heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation. The star becomes most vivid under a single light source so a classic, slightly domed setting or a bezel that preserves the symmetry of the cabochon will showcase the asterism beautifully. If you wish we can advise on mounting styles and provide documentation of origin and treatment, ensuring that the stone you choose carries both the tangible beauty of its color and the intangible value of provenance and tradition.
