2.64 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Introducing a truly beautiful natural ruby presented by The Natural Ruby Company, a translucent oval cabochon weighing 2.64 carat. This gem measures 9.07 x 7.08 x 4.20 mm, a graceful size that balances presence with everyday wearability. The smooth cabochon cut accentuates the stone body and color, creating a soft, luminous surface that draws the eye. With a vivid color intensity, this pinkish red ruby makes an immediate impression, the tone and saturation speaking to its fine Burmese origin. For collectors and designers who seek a classic cabochon with authentic country of origin, this ruby from Burma, Myanmar offers both provenance and personality.

Examined and graded for clarity at eye level, the stone is described as included, a common and natural characteristic for Burmese rubies which often show silk and internal features. These inclusions can add to the gem character, creating depth and a velvety glow when light travels through the translucent material. The surface polish is excellent, giving a high sheen across the dome of the cabochon that enhances light play and makes the vivid pinkish red hue read consistently across angles. The ruby has been heat treated, an enhancement that is widely accepted in the trade to improve color and clarity and to stabilize the material, and this treatment has been applied carefully to preserve the gem integrity and natural charm.

Stylistically the 2.64 carat oval cabochon is versatile, ideal for a solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or as a central element in a bespoke piece. The oval outline and moderate dome height at 4.20 mm make it particularly suitable for settings where the gem sits above a bezel or a low cup, allowing the cabochon to show its color without overwhelming the design. Because of the included clarity grade, settings that protect the girdle and surface will prolong enjoyment, and metals such as 18 carat gold or platinum can complement the vivid pinkish red tones beautifully. For designers seeking an authentic Burmese ruby statement, this gem offers a natural look that contrasts with the brilliance of faceted stones, presenting warmth and a soft inner glow that works especially well in vintage inspired and artisanal settings.

Caring for this ruby is straightforward, and we encourage gentle handling to preserve the excellent polish and smooth cabochon dome. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to intense heat. Because the stone has been heat treated, it is stable for normal wear, yet as with all fine gems, prudent care will maintain its finish.
