2.83 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite translucent ruby from The Natural Ruby Company weighs 2.83 carats, with an elegant oval outline and classic cabochon cut, measuring 9.14 by 7.30 by 4.32 millimeters. The stone displays a pinkish red hue with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that produces a smooth, satiny surface glow. Clarity is graded included at eye level, which means you will see natural internal features that authenticate the gem and add to its character, without detracting from its overall visual appeal. This ruby originates from Burma Myanmar, a region renowned for producing some of the most desirable rubies in the world, and it has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity while preserving the stone s natural integrity.

Visually the cabochon form creates a soft, even color wash that highlights the rich pinkish red tone, with surface reflections that appear as gentle highlights rather than faceted sparkle. The vivid color intensity projects warmth and presence when set in jewelry, and the stone s translucency allows light to pass and diffuse, producing a deep, vibrant field of color. The included clarity grade contributes to this depth, with internal characteristics that create subtle textures and character lines, making each viewing experience unique. The excellent polish enhances the cabochon dome, creating a mirror like finish on the exterior that accentuates the gem s natural beauty, while the overall proportions maintain an attractive profile suitable for a wide range of design styles.

Provenance is an important part of a ruby s story, and this piece from Burma Myanmar carries the legacy of a historic and highly esteemed source, known for producing stones with saturated hues and great appeal. Heat treatment has been applied in a controlled manner to optimize the ruby s color and clarity, a standard practice in the trade that enhances the gem without altering its fundamental properties. At The Natural Ruby Company we provide full disclosure of enhancements and origin, and we stand behind the accurate representation of every stone we offer. The combination of Burmese origin, vivid color intensity, and traditional cabochon shaping makes this ruby attractive to connoisseurs and designers who value natural character and regional provenance.

For design and wear, this 2.83 carat oval cabochon is ideal for rings, pendants, and statement earrings where a domed profile and rich color are desired, and it performs beautifully in bezel and halo settings that protect the cabochon while showing off its color. Warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold will complement the pinkish red tones, while a sleek platinum bezel can offer a modern contrast that emphasizes the stone s vivid saturation. Care is simple, using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme heat to preserve the gem s polish and color.
