Certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), this ruby ensures the highest standard of authenticity and excellence. Sourced from the storied mines of Burma, now known as Myanmar, it carries with it centuries of gemstone history and craftsmanship. Unlike rubies from other regions, Burmese rubies are renowned for their intense and vivid color, a quality that sets them apart in the gemological world. The captivating red hue of this particular ruby is nothing short of mesmerizing, embodying the passion and elegance that only the finest rubies can convey.

The striking dimensions of this ruby, measuring 6.67 x 8.35 x 4.49 mm, reflect a masterful balance of size and proportion that is rarely found in heart-shaped gemstones. The heart shape itself, complemented by an emerald cut, is a symbol of romance and sophistication, showcasing both the gem cutter’s skill and the ruby’s innate beauty. The transparency of this gemstone is of the highest order, allowing light to flow through and enhance its brilliance. A clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensures that the gem maintains its pristine appearance while bearing the natural inclusions that testify to its authenticity and natural origin. These inclusions are subtle and do not detract from the overall visual impact, offering a window into the natural formation process of the ruby over millions of years.

One of the most remarkable features of this ruby is its vivid color intensity, a characteristic that significantly elevates its value and desirability. Color intensity in a ruby speaks volumes about its rarity and pedigree, with the most sought-after rubies exhibiting a vibrant red that is neither too dark nor too light. This particular ruby exemplifies the ideal balance, its color resonating with vividness akin to the renowned "pigeon’s blood" hue that has historically captivated collectors and connoisseurs alike. Furthermore, the excellent polish of the gemstone ensures a smooth and lustrous surface, enabling the ruby to exhibit maximum brilliance. Each facet is meticulously finished to reflect light internally and externally, creating a scintillating display of color and sparkle that is simply breathtaking.
