Weight matters in a ruby in ways that go beyond simple measurement, and the 1.71 carat weight of this stone dramatically increases its rarity and value. In the world of rubies the price per carat rises steeply as stones grow larger, and a transparent, intensely colored gem from Burma at this size is a whisper of old world luxury. The slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, is common and even cherished among natural rubies, because those small internal features confirm the stone is natural and born of the earth, rather than engineered. Heat treated enhancement has been applied to improve the stone clarity and color stability, a widely accepted and durable treatment that enhances beauty while respecting the gem origin. The mixed brilliant cut is designed to maximize brilliance and return of light, while the excellent polish ensures smooth reflective surfaces that invite touch and admiration. Every characteristic of this ruby works with its 1.71 carat weight to create a gem that is both rare and wearable, a tangible expression of value that resonates with collectors and romantics alike.
