1.28 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Discover an extraordinary rarity offered exclusively by The Natural Ruby Company, a transparent Burmese treasure presented as a certified Vivid Red Pigeons Blood ruby weighing 1.28 carats. This oval shaped gem measures 7.29 x 5.30 x 3.87 mm, and its hue is textbook Vivid Red, the color most coveted by collectors and connoisseurs. The gem has been heat treated to enhance clarity and color, retaining a slightly included clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that allows its surface to sing with life. Stones of this pedigree and provenance from Burma Myanmar are exceptionally scarce, and this piece is intended for an elite collector or bespoke commission who demands the finest natural color, superb cutting, and provenance that only a handful of gems achieve.

The mixed brilliant cut of this oval ruby is the key to how it performs under light, as precision crown facets and a sculpted pavilion work together to maximize internal reflection and return the saturated red of the gemstone as vivid flashes and a velvety glow. The proportions and 3.87 mm depth deliver an ideal balance between color saturation and light return, avoiding a washed out face up or an overly dark appearance, while the excellent polish sharpens facet junctions so each facet mirrors the next with crisp, lively scintillation. Slight inclusions do not diminish the overall transparency of the stone, rather they authenticate its natural origin and absorb into the rich red field when the cut channels light through the gem. This is a gem made to be set in a bespoke ring or pendant where the cut will reveal complex depths of color as the stone moves, and owning it places you among a select group who can claim a true Pigeons Blood ruby from Burma Myanmar, an offering only The Natural Ruby Company is privileged to present.
