2.51 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There is a ruby that seems to have caught a sigh, a small universe of pinkish red light that rests like a warm ember beneath a silk sky, and at The Natural Ruby Company we invite you to hold that warmth close. This gem weighs 2.51 carats, a delicate measure that still feels generously present, translucent rather than opaque, so that light passes through it like a memory. Born in the storied earth of Burma Myanmar, it carries the quiet history of deep places, and it has received careful heat treatment to awaken and stabilize its intense pinkish red hue. Imagine a stone that reads like a promise, colored with the kind of passion that is intimate rather than theatrical, and polished so well that its surface answers back with a soft, lustrous nod.

Look closely and you will see its shape, an oval that is gentle and embracing, measuring 9.25 x 7.25 x 3.93 mm, a form that invites a hand or a gaze to linger. The cabochon cut gives it a rounded, domed top, a smooth conversation of curves that feels like a familiar voice. Its clarity is classified as included at eye level, which means tiny internal stories are woven into its body, natural signatures that make it unmistakably alive. These inclusions, like whispered notes in a sonnet, do not disturb the gem so much as make it human. The color intensity is intense, a concentrated refrain of pink and red, balanced so that it glows without shouting. The polish is excellent, a sheen that captures highlights and folds them into the surface like sunlight on calm water.

As a piece meant for love and memory, this ruby translates beautifully into an heirloom. Imagine it set in a ring that rests against skin, a cabochon that catches morning and evening differently, sending a private warmth into every gesture. The domed silhouette gives a soft prominence, an elegant profile that suits both bold and discreet settings, whether cradled in a halo of tiny diamonds, embraced by warm gold, or framed in vintage filigree. At 2.51 carats it is an intimate statement, substantial enough to be noticed, yet gentle enough to be worn day after day with a quiet certainty. Its translucence allows light to travel through and animate the stone from within, so that each movement becomes a poem, and each glance a remembered line.

We at The Natural Ruby Company take care in telling you what this gem truly is. Its origin in Burma Myanmar speaks to a lineage of rubies that have been cherished for centuries, and the heat treatment is a common, accepted enhancement used to harmonize color and clarity in many fine gems. The excellent polish reflects precise craftsmanship, and the cabochon shape reflects a traditional way of showcasing color and depth. If you seek absolute perfection in crystal clarity, this stone will not promise blank perfection, but if you seek something with heart, history, and character, its included clarity forms a map of its life that adds to its beauty. We are happy to provide further viewing details, measurements, and high resolution images, and to advise on custom settings that will respect its oval proportions of 9.25 x 7.25 x 3.93 mm.

Let the thought of this ruby stay with you, a small, persistent warmth that suggests a future memory. Picture it as the core of a proposal, as a talisman worn close to the pulse, as the centerpiece of a gift that speaks in quiet, undeniable language. The Natural Ruby Company is here to guide you, to share provenance notes, to discuss the gentle heat treatment that enhances its intense color, and to help you choose the metal and setting that will best make this cabochon sing.
