10.10 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

I am pleased to present a remarkable natural ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a semi translucent oval gem weighing 10.10 carat, with dimensions of 14.64 x 10.49 x 6.55 mm. This stone features a double cabochon cut, a smooth domed surface on both sides that enhances the depth and spread of its color, and it displays a vivid pinkish red hue that immediately attracts the eye. The clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean, lively appearance to the naked eye while retaining natural internal character that collectors and connoisseurs appreciate. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a glossy, wet look that reflects light evenly and underscores the quality of the cutting and finishing work performed on this piece.

Visually, this ruby is a statement of saturated, lively color and pleasing translucency, it offers just enough transparency to allow internal light play without losing the intensity of its red tones. The cabochon form, especially a double cabochon, is ideal for showcasing such color, because the rounded surfaces concentrate color and create a smooth, continuous field that looks luscious under direct and diffused lighting. The oval shape and the nearly proportional dimensions provide elegant balance for a wide range of jewelry settings, from a classic solitaire pendant to a bold cocktail ring, or even a pair of complementary stones in a bespoke design. At 10.10 carat, this gem is substantial enough to serve as the focal point of a high quality piece, yet its smooth cabochon finish gives it wearable comfort and a timeless aesthetic that suits both modern and vintage inspired designs.

As specialists with deep experience in gemstone sourcing and appraisal, we provide full transparency about treatments and origin, this ruby has been heat treated to improve color and clarity, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the trade, performed with care to preserve the integrity of the crystal. The origin is Burma Myanmar, a source long celebrated for producing some of the world most desirable rubies, and the combination of origin, vivid color, and cabochon presentation contributes to the stone attractiveness for collectors and designers alike. Heat treatment in Burmese rubies is common and enhances the natural beauty without compromising durability, it is considered an acceptable practice among gem professionals and serious buyers, and at The Natural Ruby Company we ensure all treatments and provenance details are disclosed so you can make an informed decision.

For care and setting recommendations, rubies are durable but the cabochon surface benefits from gentle handling to maintain its excellent polish, avoid abrasive cleaners and ultrasonic baths if the stone is mounted in a delicate or antique style setting, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush for routine care, and consider a protective bezel or half bezel mount to shield the edges while still allowing the cabochon to show its full face. If you are considering a custom design we can advise on metal choices and setting styles that will complement the vivid pinkish red color and the oval double cabochon shape, many clients prefer warm metals to enhance the red tones, and we can arrange CAD previews and secure setting recommendations through our network of trusted jewelers.
