2.82 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite translucent 2.82 carat oval red ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is presented in a classic cabochon cut that emphasizes the stone's rich, intense color and smooth, domed surface. Measuring 8.98 by 6.98 by 4.63 millimeters, this gem displays an even, saturated red that glows in transmitted light, making it a striking focal point for jewelry. The clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, which is common for rubies from this origin and contributes character without detracting from the stone's visual appeal. The polish is excellent, giving the cabochon a reflective, mirror like surface, and the gem has been heat treated to enhance stability and color, a standard and accepted enhancement in the trade.

Originating from Burma, Myanmar, this ruby carries the legacy of one of the most revered ruby producing regions in the world, and its intense hue is a hallmark of that provenance. The cabochon style highlights a soft luminous quality rather than scintillation, which makes it particularly well suited to classic rings, pendants, and earrings that benefit from a smooth, elegant centerpiece. At 2.82 carats and with these dimensions, it sits comfortably as a prominent solitaire in a ring design or as a focal accent in a vintage inspired pendant, and it also pairs beautifully with rose or yellow gold to enhance the warm red tones. The included clarity often indicates natural silk and internal features that can create depth and a velvety appearance, qualities many collectors and connoisseurs seek in natural rubies.
