2.82 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Introducing a gemstone that represents the height of tradition and excellence, our 2.82 carat oval-shaped red ruby stands as a testament to the artistry and heritage of one of the world's most esteemed gemstone sources, Burma (Myanmar). The dimensions of this exquisite gem are 8.98 x 6.98 x 4.63 mm, creating a substantial presence that cannot be overlooked. Crafted with a cabochon cut, a technique that maintains the stone's natural shape while enhancing its intrinsic beauty, this ruby captures and reflects light in a way that evokes a timeless elegance. While the cabochon cut is most often linked to a lustrous and smooth finish, here it amplifies the intense color intensity inherent in the ruby, resulting from centuries-old Burmese mining traditions. Handled with expertise, we have further enhanced this gem through heating, a well-respected technique that enriches its color without compromising integrity.

The Natural Ruby Company takes pride in offering this ruby with a clarity grade of "included," assessed thoughtfully at eye level. This signifies a stone that speaks of authenticity and genuine origin, characteristics well-regarded among connoisseurs and collectors. Rubies with perfect clarity are rare and often unrealistically idealized. Our ruby, with its natural inclusions, is a nod to the traditional view that such gemstones carry internal features which contribute to their individuality and allure. The excellent polish of the stone elevates its overall appearance, allowing the rich, red hue to appear even more vivid and compelling.

Our ruby exemplifies the rich heritage and cultural importance these gemstones have held throughout history. Associated with power, protection, and prosperity, rubies like this one have been treasured by royalty and collectors alike. The depth of its red hue invokes historical associations with passion and wisdom, making this gem not just a jewel, but a piece of history and artistry. At The Natural Ruby Company, we understand this connection and have curated this ruby to appeal to buyers who appreciate a gemstone's story, provenance, and untamed beauty. Whether intended for a bespoke piece of jewelry or as an addition to a discerning collection, this ruby beckons to those who truly value the heritage and craftsmanship only an esteemed company can provide.
