1.57 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This 1.57 carat oval pinkish red ruby presents outstanding gemological attributes that will satisfy an educated buyer, offered with full provenance from Burma Myanmar by The Natural Ruby Company. The stone measures 6.79 by 6.38 by 4.18 millimeters and has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color saturation. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is slightly included, yet the gem is transparent and the inclusions are minor and well positioned, which preserves visual appeal. The color intensity is intense, offering that desirable balance between vivid red and a pinkish undertone that Burmese rubies are renowned for. There has been no enhancement, which is increasingly rare in the trade and a major factor in long term value, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and exceptional surface luster. These objective characteristics make this ruby attractive to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize natural origin, untreated material, and a cut that optimizes both face up color and light return.

From every viewing angle this ruby reads as visually flawless because of the combination of deep, even saturation, thoughtful facet architecture, and superior polish. The mixed brilliant faceting opens the crown to return brilliant flashes of light while the pavilion facets channel color back to the eye, creating a lively appearance that masks minor internal features in typical lighting. In practical terms this means a wearer will experience strong presence and fire whether the gem is set in a ring pendant or bespoke piece, and a lapidary grade that supports fine jewelry settings. For the buyer concerned with long term desirability, the untreated Burmese origin together with the intense hue and precise cutting translates to both aesthetic and investment appeal. At The Natural Ruby Company we represent this ruby with transparency about its grade, measurements, and origin, and we emphasize that while the gem is slightly included at eye level, its exceptional transparency, intense color, and masterful cutting produce a near flawless presentation from every angle.
