2.07 Ct. Ruby from Thailand

This 2.07 carat transparent ruby, sourced from Thailand and offered by The Natural Ruby Company, presents an elegant balance of color and form that will appeal to an educated buyer. The stone measures 7.36 x 6.83 x 3.98 mm, an ideal dimension for both solitaire and halo settings, and displays an intense pinkish red hue that is both vivid and evenly distributed. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means there are natural inclusions visible under magnification and some may be noticeable to an experienced loupe user, but they do not materially detract from the gem's overall beauty at normal viewing distances. The gem has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for rubies that improves color saturation and transparency while remaining fully accepted in the trade when disclosed.

The asscher octagon cut has been executed with excellent polish, and this facet architecture plays a central role in how the ruby handles light. Asscher cutting is a step cut that produces broad, open facets and concentric reflections that emphasize depth of color rather than the pinpoint scintillation typical of brilliant cuts. In this ruby the pavilion and crown proportions have been balanced to create a hall of mirrors effect, which allows the intense pinkish red tone to refract and reflect internally, giving the stone a velvety glow that reads larger face up than many stones of similar weight. The straight facet planes and crisp facet junctions contribute to strong internal light return, and the excellent polish prevents light loss at the surface, preserving saturation and ensuring a clean, lively appearance under both natural and artificial light.

For buyers seeking a high quality natural ruby with presence and substance, this 2.07 carat asscher octagon offers an attractive combination of color intensity, traditional gem durability due to corundum hardness, and the refined aesthetic of step cutting. The slight inclusions provide evidence of natural origin and can add character without undermining wearable stability. When set in a design that allows light to reach the pavilion, such as an open setting or a low profile bezel, the cut will maximize the stone's internal reflections and color depth.
