1.76 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

At The Natural Ruby Company we present a stone that feels like a secret waiting to become a celebration, a C.Dunaigre certified Vivid Red Pigeons Blood ruby that arrests the eye and quickens the heart. This transparent, 1.76 carat ruby has been masterfully fashioned into an emerald cut shape, with precise dimensions of 7.94 by 5.50 by 3.79 millimeters, an emerald cut that lends a clean architectural drama to its deep hue. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a trait that affirms its natural origin while allowing the intense, vivid color intensity to dominate, and an excellent polish gives every facet a mirror finish. This is a Burmese ruby from Burma Myanmar, a land renowned for rubies with a soul charged by history and geology, and it has been heat treated to gently enhance its inherent beauty. When you hold this gem you will feel both the craft of the cutter and the ancient story of the crystal that formed long before jewelry was imagined.

What makes this ruby sparkle in a way that feels unmatched is its internal structure and the way light dances through its corundum lattice, a rigid, tightly bonded aluminum oxide framework that welcomes chromium atoms and transforms them into flame. Chromium is the alchemist behind the ruby red, it absorbs certain wavelengths and re emits rich reds, and when combined with a stone of this clarity and facet precision the result is an inner glow that seems to come from within rather than just from surface reflection. The emerald cut, with its step facets and broad planes, creates a sophisticated internal hall of mirrors, each plane reflecting back color and light in layered ribbons, a depth that is different from table cuts that scatter light into glitter. Because corundum has a high refractive index, light entering the gem is bent and channeled, traveling across facets and returning as saturated color and vivacious flashes, and in fine Burmese rubies a strong fluorescence can add a living, candle like red under different lights, so the stone appears to pulse when you move. Polishing is the last act before a gem takes its stage, and an excellent polish like this one removes micro friction points that would scatter light, enhancing both the stone intensity and the clarity of each reflected beam, so every movement of the wearer is answered by a confident, warm scintillation.

Imagine this vivid Pigeons Blood ruby set into a ring that will be worn on the hand of someone you love, or gifted on a day you want remembered forever. The dimensions and the emerald cut make it ideal for a modern solitaire that emphasizes clean lines and a bold centre, the kind of jewel that catches a room without shouting, that makes simple gestures unforgettable. Because the stone is transparent and very slightly included when viewed at eye level, light penetrates deep into the corundum and returns as a rich, layered red that changes subtly with skin tone and ambient light, creating a private show each minute it is worn. The Burmese origin lends a provenance that feels like proof of authenticity and history, a lineage that collectors and romantics alike find irresistible. When you slide this ruby into a setting the emerald cut sits like a window into a heated horizon, with each facet acting as a frame that focuses and multiplies the color, the result an intensity that rivals and often surpasses stones of greater size but lesser harmony between cut, clarity, and color.
