2.80 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite translucent 2.80 carat oval pinkish red ruby measures 9.05 x 6.98 x 4.33 mm, and is expertly shaped as a classic cabochon. The cabochon cut produces a soft domed surface that emphasizes the stone's intense color intensity and graceful internal glow, while the excellent polish creates crisp reflective highlights across the dome. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded included, which contributes to the ruby's character and depth, giving it a warm, natural presence rather than a sterile perfection. This stone has been heat treated to optimize color and clarity in a stable and traditional way, and it hails from Burma Myanmar, a source long revered for producing rubies with rich tonal saturation and a velvety, luminous appearance.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Ruby Company I can tell you that this ruby is ideal for a distinguished center stone in a ring, an elegant pendant, or a tactile cabochon necklace where its smooth dome can be admired up close. The 2.80 carat weight and substantial dimensions translate into a confident presence on the hand or at the throat, and the intense color will pair beautifully with warm yellow gold or sleek rose gold, while platinum or white gold will create a striking contrast that accentuates the pinkish red hue. For care I recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat or light to preserve its color and polish. If you would like additional photographs, setting suggestions, or personalized design ideas, I am here to help guide you through the selection and commissioning process.
