2.36 Ct. Ruby from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This rare, transparent 2.36 carat oval pinkish red ruby from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is a study in refined exclusivity, presented by The Natural Ruby Company. Measuring 8.08 by 7.17 by 4.41 mm, its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish create a lively dance of light across its vivid color, while the clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, preserves a clean, jewel like appearance. This gemstone has been carefully beryllium diffused, a sophisticated enhancement that deepens and stabilizes its captivating pinkish red hue, yet the stone remains a natural creation of the earth, not a laboratory synthesis. Each facet has been meticulously balanced to maximize brilliance and color saturation, making this oval a uniquely wearable size for a signature ring, a bespoke pendant, or a collector grade investment piece.

When compared to lab grown rubies, this natural Ceylon gem carries advantages that matter to discerning connoisseurs and collectors. Lab grown stones may offer predictable color and clarity, however they lack the singular geological history that confers rarity and provenance, attributes that sustain desirability and long term value. Natural rubies such as this one show subtle internal features and color depth that act as an individual fingerprint, ensuring no two stones are identical, and providing a story that can be traced back to Sri Lankan soils and artisanal cutters. The beryllium diffusion on this stone is a transparent enhancement, clearly disclosed, and it allows you to enjoy intensified color while retaining the intrinsic character of a natural ruby. Owners of natural stones join an elite circle who appreciate authenticity, the nuanced interplay of light and mineral growth, and the prestige associated with genuinely natural origins, rather than manufactured likenesses. At The Natural Ruby Company we curate a handful of exceptional stones like this oval ruby, offering personalized guidance on setting, certification, and provenance, so you can acquire not just a gem, but a legacy piece that will be admired for generations.
