1.85 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

I'm delighted to introduce you to this stunning stone from our collection. The stone we have here is a ruby, known for its captivating beauty and the rich heritage it carries as one of the most coveted gemstones in the world.
This specific ruby has a weight of 1.85 carats which makes it substantial enough to be the centerpiece of any jewelry setting. The allure of this gem is enhanced by its shape, an oval, which is both classic and sophisticated, allowing maximum light to enter and reflect within the stone for maximum brilliance. This stone measures precisely 7.08 x 6.56 x 4.66 mm, a size that will stand out when set in a piece of jewelry.
Our ruby boasts an intense color, a deep red hue that is highly sought after for its depth and vibrancy. Color intensity in rubies is one of the key factors that define its value and appeal. The transparency of the stone is very clear, indicating that it can allow light to pass through it with minimal obstruction, thereby showcasing its stunning color to full effect.
The clarity of this gem is graded as slightly included. At eye level, this means that some inclusions are present, but they do not significantly detract from the stone’s overall brilliance and beauty. Inclusions in natural stones like this one tell a story of their formation, making each gem uniquely its own.
A mixed brilliant cut has been employed to enhance the stone’s shine and present its color with the most appealing aspect. This type of cut is designed to maximize the light returned to the eye, creating a sparkle that makes the stone truly stand out.
Originating from Burma, now known as Myanmar, this ruby comes from a region famous for producing some of the world's finest rubies. The Burmese rubies are renowned for their purity and pigeon's blood red color, which is considered the most desirable in the world.
When considering this ruby for purchase, you are not just buying a gemstone but investing in a piece of Earth's history. Rubies are known for their hardness and durability, second only to diamonds, making them a perfect choice for everyday wear. Whether set in a ring, pendant, or earrings, this ruby will add elegance and prestige to any jewelry collection.
