2.46 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

I am a salesperson at The Natural Ruby Company, and I am pleased to introduce a truly charming natural ruby that blends classic elegance with rich provenance. This piece is a translucent 2.46 carat oval ruby, with precise dimensions of 9.02 x 7.08 x 3.83 millimeters, fashioned as a cabochon to showcase its inner glow and fluid color. The hue reads as a pinkish red on casual inspection, and the tone is lively yet refined. At this size and shape the stone presents beautifully to the eye, offering presence without overpowering, and the cabochon cut creates a smooth domed silhouette that flatters both contemporary and vintage inspired settings. For clients seeking a meaningful single stone for a special commission, or a distinctive focal gem for a pendant, this ruby combines wearable dimensions with collectible character.

From a gemological standpoint the ruby yields a lot of desirable material. Color intensity is described as intense, which means the saturation gives the stone a vivid, captivating appearance under normal lighting. Clarity is graded as included when examined at eye level, and these internal characteristics are consistent with natural rubies from classic sources, adding depth and a lived in charm rather than detracting from beauty. The surface finish is an excellent polish, allowing reflections to dance across the dome and enhancing the sense of wet, vibrant color. This ruby has been heat treated, a common and widely accepted enhancement used to improve color and clarity in natural rubies, and the result is a stable, attractive tone. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a region celebrated for producing rubies with velvety color and a warm glow, and this provenance contributes to the stone s desirability among collectors and connoisseurs.

When considering design and setting, the cabochon form encourages bezel and halo bezel styles that protect the dome and emphasize the stone s luminous quality. A classic bezel in yellow gold will warm and deepen the pinkish red, while a white gold or platinum surround will create a fresher, more modern contrast. Because of the stone s measurements and weight, it will sit comfortably as the center of a cocktail ring, a sculptural pendant, or a statement pair in matched pieces if you prefer symmetry with a companion stone. For everyday wear, a secure bezel setting is recommended to protect the cabochon from knocks, and a soft cloth plus mild soapy water will generally keep the surface clean. Although the ruby has been heat treated for stability, I advise avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden extreme temperature changes during routine care, and for any in depth cleaning or repair work please consult a trusted jeweler who understands natural ruby material.
