1.97 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Allow yourself to be drawn to a singular treasure offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a C.Dunaigre certified Intense Red ruby weighing 1.97 carats, fashioned into an elegant oval shape with precise dimensions of 8.66 x 6.42 x 3.92 mm. This gem presents a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with a rich field of color, and it has been assessed with a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, an assessment that speaks to its exceptional transparency and the fine nature of its internal features. The color registers as vivid in intensity, a living red that captures light and returns it with a velvety depth, and the polish is judged excellent, allowing every facet to play its part in the gem s subtle dance. Enhancement by traditional heat treatment has been disclosed, an accepted and stable method that enhances the innate beauty of Burmese rubies while maintaining their natural character, and the stone s documented origin of Burma, Myanmar places it within a lineage of the world s most revered rubies.

To own a ruby of this pedigree is to join an unbroken continuum of admiration that stretches from royal courts to contemporary ateliers, where rubies have for centuries been symbols of sovereignty, protection, and ardent devotion. In Asian and European courts alike, the finest reds were reserved for coronation jewels and ceremonial regalia, held as talismans against misfortune and as marks of rank and good fortune. Burmese rubies in particular have long carried a reputation for an intense, warm red that seems to hold fire at its core, and their stones were sought by monarchs and connoisseurs for the way they elevate gold and platinum settings into living heirlooms. This particular 1.97 carat example embodies that storied heritage, its vivid color and refined proportions recalling historic gems that were passed from one generation to the next, admired as much for their emotional resonance as for their material value. The Natural Ruby Company brings this legacy to the present, offering not merely a gem but a continuation of an ancient narrative that prizes rarity, provenance, and the quiet authority of true beauty.

Imagine this oval ruby set to catch the light above a hand in a classic solitaire ring, cradled in a bespoke pendant, or surrounded by a halo of brilliant cut diamonds to amplify its fire and presence. Its dimensions and mixed brilliant cut provide an ideal balance for modern and traditional designs, allowing jewelers to craft settings that respect the stone s integrity while expressing personal style. The very slightly included clarity, apparent only upon careful inspection, lends a sense of authenticity and character that speaks to a natural origin, while the excellent polish ensures superior performance on the wrist or at the throat.
