2.76 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Thank you for considering this exceptional gemstone from The Natural Ruby Company. This is a beautiful translucent 2.76 carat ruby, presented in an elegant oval shape, with dimensions measuring 9.03 by 6.71 by 4.59 millimeters. The stone is cut as a cabochon, which enhances its soft glow and internal depth, creating a warm and inviting presence that flatters both classic and contemporary jewelry designs. The color is a pleasing pinkish red with intense color saturation, and the surface shows an excellent polish that gives the cabochon a smooth, lustrous finish. The clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone has natural internal features that are visible to a trained eye, and these inclusions often add character and a unique fingerprint to the gem. Please note that the ruby has been heat treated to enhance its color and clarity, and the origin is Burma Myanmar, a source long respected for producing rubies of striking hues and rich heritage.

When you hold this ruby, you will notice how the cabochon cut plays with light differently than a faceted stone. Instead of sparkling facets, the cabochon offers a gentle internal shimmer and depth that draws the eye inward to the heart of the gem. The intense pinkish red tone is particularly lovely for pieces meant to convey warmth and romance, and the translucent nature allows light to travel through the stone, creating a soft glow that works beautifully under both natural and artificial light. The slight inclusions visible at eye level are not flaws in a negative sense, but rather part of the natural story of the stone, indicating its true origin and natural growth. For collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate authenticity and natural character, this 2.76 carat cabochon offers both presence and personality.

In terms of setting and wear, this ruby is versatile and forgiving, and it will make a stunning centerpiece in a variety of jewelry types. A bezel setting will protect the cabochon while emphasizing its smooth silhouette, making it ideal for rings and pendants that are intended for everyday wear. A halo of small diamonds or white sapphires will provide contrast and make the pinkish red color read as richer and more vibrant, while a warm metal such as yellow gold or rose gold will harmonize with the ruby for a cohesive, vintage inspired look. If you prefer a more contemporary look, a simple open bezel in a sleek metal band will show off the clean oval profile and the excellent polish. Given the stone has natural inclusions and is heat treated, we recommend settings that offer some protection, and we can advise on design choices that balance security with aesthetic appeal.
