2.82 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Imagine holding a drop of summer dusk, a small oval heart of flame that has been softened by time and water, a translucent 2.82 carat ruby that breathes like a living ember. The cabochon cut invites light to travel beneath the surface, revealing an intense red that is regal and tender at once, the kind of red that remembers promises and keeps them warm. Its measurements, 8.98 by 6.98 by 4.63 millimeters, give it a presence that is both intimate and undeniable, a stone that fits the curve of a ring or the cradle of a pendant as if it was always meant to belong there. The polish is excellent, a glassy calm that sends reflections dancing, and the overall translucency allows a soft inner glow to rise and fall with every turn. This is a ruby from Burma Myanmar, a homeland of storied origin, bearing the character of place and history in every subtle inclusion and every saturated hue.

As a jeweler and storyteller for The Natural Ruby Company, I see in this gem not only its measured qualities, clarity grade included evaluated at eye level, but also the quiet poetry of enhancements that honor the stone, heat treated to reveal its fullest color and refined beauty. The inclusions are honest companions, telling of the ruby s journey from earth to light, and they add depth that a flawless surface could never convey. Picture this jewel set in a simple gold bezel or in a vintage inspired mount, a talisman for vows spoken in low light, a birthstone that speaks of courage and devotion, an heirloom awaiting its first story. If you are seeking a piece that balances passionate color with a serene, soft glow, this ruby is a rare conversation between fire and softness, between history and now. Allow me to guide you in choosing the setting that will honor its warmth, and know that with The Natural Ruby Company you are choosing provenance, care, and a companion for a lifetime.
