1.21 Ct. Star Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite translucent red star ruby captures attention with a deep, even glow and a striking asterism that dances across the surface when viewed under direct light. Cut in a classic cabochon oval, the stone shows a crisp star that moves smoothly with the angle of illumination, a testament to fine cutting and strong silk inclusion orientation. The medium intense red color is rich without being overpowering, allowing the star to remain the focal point, while the excellent polish enhances the gem to a lustrous finish. Because the gem is translucent, light passes through the body and interacts with the internal silk to create the captivating six ray star effect that collectors and connoisseurs prize.

Technically this gem weighs 1.21 carat and measures 6.91 by 5.21 by 3.16 mm, shape oval, cut cabochon. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which supports the visual depth and asterism without distracting from the overall beauty. There is no enhancement, the stone is natural and untreated, and its origin is Burma Myanmar, a source renowned for producing some of the finest star rubies in the world. The excellent polish ensures smooth cabochon curvature and comfortable wear, making the piece ideal for a pendant or a custom ring setting that showcases the star under a single light source. For everyday care avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, clean gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush, and remove the piece during activities that risk impact.
