2.03 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This transparent pear shape ruby weighs 2.03 carat, with dimensions 9.39 x 6.81 x 3.90 mm, exhibiting a mixed brilliant cut that marries a faceted brilliant crown with a more structured pavilion. The mixed brilliant faceting optimizes scintillation from the crown while the pavilion steps enhance depth and color saturation, producing a lively but controlled return of light. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so inclusions do not impede visual performance and instead provide natural fingerprinting for provenance. Color reads as pinkish red with intense color intensity, a hue that benefits from the clean cutting and excellent polish that this piece displays. There is no enhancement, and the origin is Burma Myanmar, details that underscore both rarity and market desirability. The girdle shows consistent symmetry and the cutting exhibits calibrated facet junctions, which together yield balanced light distribution and predictable behavior under diverse lighting conditions.

For customization into finished jewelry this ruby is exceptionally versatile, and The Natural Ruby Company can advise on optimal settings based on design intent. For an engagement or statement ring a V prong at the pointed end combined with two tapered claws along the shoulders gives maximum protection while preserving table exposure and light entry. A three prong or four prong solitaire permits more surface fire, whereas a halo with micro pavé amplifies perceived size and emphasizes the intense body color. Bezel settings can be used to protect the rim and tip for everyday wear, and an open back or low cup mounting will preserve brightness if a warmer pinkish tone is desired. In pendants and drops the pear orientation may be used point down or point up for stylistic variation, and matched pair design in a bespoke earring set can replicate the hue using carefully selected complementary stones. Choice of metal influences apparent color, yellow gold accentuating warmth, rose gold harmonizing with pink undertones, and platinum providing cooler contrast and contrast driven brilliance. For bespoke commissions The Natural Ruby Company can supply detailed facet maps and fitting guides to ensure precise seat dimensions, prong engagement and polishing continuity, enabling jewelers to integrate this exceptional Burmese ruby into rings, pendants, earrings and bespoke pieces with both aesthetic and structural confidence.
