This transparent 2.23 carat round red ruby from Burma, Myanmar, presents a compelling combination of size, color and craftsmanship that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs, The Natural Ruby Company is proud to offer this stone. The gem measures 7.71 x 7.57 x 4.35 mm, is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and face up color, and displays a vivid color intensity with excellent polish. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable characteristic in fine rubies that often contributes to the depth of color without detracting from overall brilliance. The stone has been heat treated, which is a standard and stable enhancement in ruby trade, used to improve color uniformity and clarity. For an educated buyer, the combination of Burmese origin, vivid saturated red, near two and a quarter carat weight, and a well executed mixed brilliant cut represents strong market desirability. The measurements make it ideal for a signature ring or pendant, and the excellent polish ensures optimized light return. We recommend considering a formal laboratory report for resale or insurance purposes, and our team at The Natural Ruby Company can assist with documentation and setting recommendations.
