18.17 Ct. Pinkish Red Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This is an exceptionally rare, translucent 18.17 carat oval pinkish red ruby from Burma Myanmar, measuring 15.89 by 12.72 by 8.55 mm, cut as a smooth cabochon with an intense color and an excellent polish. Its generous size and classic oval silhouette make it a statement gemstone, a top tier piece that seldom appears on the market, and owning it places you among a small circle of collectors and connoisseurs who value true natural gems. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is included, which gives the stone character and a depth that plays beautifully with light within its translucent body. The gem has been heated with residue, a common and historically accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies its hue, and our gemologists at The Natural Ruby Company carefully document and disclose this treatment so that you have full provenance and confidence in your purchase.

For bespoke and custom jewelry designers this ruby is an ideal centerpiece, because its size, weight and cabochon profile invite creative settings that celebrate its organic, luminous surface. The oval format fits gracefully into rings, dramatic pendants, bespoke bracelets, and collector cuffs, while the domed cabochon top encourages designs that use soft metal rails, bezel settings, or artisan prongs to protect and highlight the stone. Its thickness at 8.55 mm gives ample depth for secure mounting and allows jewelers to orient the color flow and inclusion patterns for maximum visual impact. Commission a one of a kind ring or pendant and the result will be a wearable heirloom, unique in hue and presence, a singular ruby that will draw attention and admiration. At The Natural Ruby Company we limit access to such fine examples, we assist clients and designers with exacting measurements, imaging and recommendations, and we offer personalized guidance on setting styles that honor the gem while ensuring security and comfort. This cabochon ruby is not a mass produced option, it is a rare opportunity to own a substantial, intensely colored Burmese ruby tailored into a custom piece that defines elegance and exclusivity.
