2.70 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

If you have been searching for a singular ruby that ends the search for the perfect center stone, this specimen from The Natural Ruby Company is the answer you have been waiting for, a beautiful translucent 2.70 carat oval shape ruby that brings together classic allure and wearable luxury. This gem measures 9.01 by 7.08 by 4.23 millimeters, and it is fashioned as a smooth cabochon to emphasize depth of color and a soft glowing presence that faceted stones cannot replicate. Your needs may be an engagement ring that feels unique and personal, a collector piece that represents a rare origin story, or a striking pendant that commands attention, and this pinkish red Burmese ruby answers each of those needs by offering intense color intensity, an excellent polish, and a reassuring natural origin from Burma, Myanmar. The clarity is graded included when viewed at eye level, which is a common and characterful trait for fine rubies, and the stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that refines color while preserving the inherent beauty of the natural crystal.

For discerning clients who value both aesthetics and gemological detail, this cabochon cut excels because it displays color with even saturation across the dome, creating a luminous, almost velvety surface that draws the eye. Unlike faceted stones that return light as sparkle, a cabochon reveals subtleties of tone and translucency, and this ruby shows a vivid pinkish red that reads intensely in both daylight and indoor lighting. The included clarity evaluated at eye level suggests internal characteristics that add personality and testify to the ruby s natural formation, while the excellent polish provides a high quality surface that reflects light in a flattering, soft sheen. The heat treatment applied to this stone is common and stable for rubies, used to enhance color saturation and clarity, and it allows this specimen to reach the intense hue collectors and clients often seek. Origin from Burma adds provenance that many collectors value deeply, because Burmese rubies are historically prized for their unique color and depth.

Consider how this 2.70 carat oval cabochon will perform in the jewelry you are planning, whether a romantic engagement ring, a bespoke pendant, a pair of statement earrings, or an heirloom style brooch. The size and shape are versatile enough for a bezel set ring that protects the smooth dome while showcasing its color, or a bezel pendant that lets the ruby sit close to the skin and glow with every movement. For color pairing, warm metals such as yellow gold and rose gold will heighten the pinkish red tones, creating a vintage, romantic effect, while white gold or platinum can offer a clean, modern contrast that makes the color read brighter against the cool metal. Rubies are the second hardest natural gemstones after diamonds, which makes them well suited to daily wear when set properly and cared for. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will preserve the luster of the cabochon, and routine inspections of the setting will keep the stone secure for years to come.
