2.16 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

The 2.16 carat marquise shape red ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company embodies the pinnacle of gemological excellence and aesthetic allure. With its striking dimensions of 13.48 x 6.46 x 3.14 mm, it is designed to capture attention and admiration with every glance. This exquisite ruby is not merely a gemstone. It is a statement piece destined to elevate any jewelry creation to the realm of extraordinary. Certified by C.Dunaigre, an authority in the field of gemology, this ruby boasts an impeccable pedigree which assures the educated buyer of its authenticity and superior quality.

A notable aspect of this ruby is its mixed brilliant cut which enhances its ability to capture and refract light. This method of faceting is renowned for maximizing a gemstone’s brilliance, creating a symphony of light and color that dances across the stone’s surface. The marquise shape, with its pointed ends, adds an additional element of sophistication and allure. This cut is particularly effective in making the gemstone appear larger than its actual carat weight, offering further value to discerning buyers who appraise both aesthetics and size.

The clarity of a gemstone serves as an essential criterion in determining its purity and appeal. This ruby is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning it exhibits minute inclusions that are virtually invisible to the naked eye. Such clarity is highly prized as it allows the gemstone’s inherent beauty to shine through undisturbed. These slight natural inclusions do not mar its appearance but instead affirm its authenticity. Transparency in such a subtly included gemstone enhances its vibrancy and allure.

Origin plays a crucial role in assessing the value of a ruby. The origin of this particular gemstone is Burma, now known as Myanmar, which is recognized as a premier source of some of the world’s most esteemed rubies. Burmese rubies are celebrated for their vivid color intensity which is beautifully exemplified in this piece. The deep red hue symbolizes passion and power, making it an excellent choice for a statement jewelry item. A vividly colored ruby such as this one speaks volumes of its rarity and desirability.

A ruby’s polish is another factor of utmost importance. The excellent polish of this ruby further elevates its status as a remarkable gemstone. A high degree of polish allows for exceptional lustre, ensuring the gemstone’s surface is both smooth and reflective. This impeccable finish leads to a remarkable interplay of light that enhances the rich, fiery tones inherent in the ruby. The marriage of its superb polish with its vivid color and near-perfect clarity ensures that this ruby is an investment into elegance and lasting value. At The Natural Ruby Company, we take pride in offering such distinguished gemstones that define beauty and luxury.
