1.64 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

From the mountain veins of Burma to your jeweler’s bench, this ruby carries a story written in deep time and careful hands. Formed under immense heat and pressure, this transparent 1.64 carat oval ruby measures 7.20 by 5.61 by 4.36 millimeters and displays an intense pinkish red hue that is rare and compelling. Unearthed from known Burmese deposits, this stone arrived at The Natural Ruby Company with a clear provenance and a natural state, untreated and without enhancement, a pure testament to the earth’s craftsmanship. Its slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, is part of its natural fingerprint, a delicate map of growth that assures the gem’s authenticity while adding character to its lively face.

Our cutters treated this rough with respect, choosing a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation and depth, and delivering an excellent polish that lets the intense color sing in every light. The oval shape retains more of the original weight while offering a timeless silhouette that adapts beautifully to a ring, pendant, or bespoke setting. Under a loupe the minor inclusions are visible, yet they do not diminish the stone’s transparency or brilliance, they simply remind the wearer that this is a natural, one of a kind gem. The mixed brilliant faceting pattern was selected specifically to enhance color saturation and return light evenly, creating flashes of pink and red that shift with movement.
