2.83 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

A single heart of flame rests beneath a gentle dome, a translucent oval cabochon that seems to gather the blush of dawn and hold it within its smooth surface, a pinkish red ruby that invites the eye and quiets the room, 2.83 carat in weight, oval shape, dimensions 9.14 x 7.30 x 4.32 mm, each measurement a small promise of presence and proportion. The curve of the cabochon cut is a soft horizon, a polished hill where light pools and shimmers, and when you turn it you feel the slow, deliberate heartbeat of the stone. This is not a shout of brilliance, it is a whisper of color that deepens as you watch, vivid in its intensity, ripe with warmth like a pressed rose held between pages. The form is modest and majestic all at once, suited to a ring that will be worn close to skin, or a pendant that will swing like a private sun, and every glance will read the quiet poetry of its silhouette. Here at The Natural Ruby Company we have chosen this gem for the way it breathes, for the way it keeps its own light, unhurried and intimate.

Look into the belly of the gem and you will find the traces of its making, a clarity grade of included, evaluated at eye level, small natural maps and feathers like old rivers or like constellations drawn in coral and shadow, each inclusion a proof of origin and of the earth that shaped it. These are not faults, they are signatures, tender reminders that beauty is forged in pressure and patience. The polish is excellent, so the dome reads like silk, and the surface returns reflections with a soft fidelity that makes skin and stone seem to belong to one another. Heat treated to refine and stabilize the hue, this ruby carries the respectful hand of craftsmanship that improves what nature began without erasing the soul of the crystal. Born in Burma Myanmar, the gem carries the warm memory of that place, a long lineage of rubies that have traveled through centuries of art and ritual, pieces that have been loved and set and reborn in new jewelry for new stories. Translucency lends the stone a sense of depth, a place where light lives beneath the surface instead of only dancing upon it, and the vivid color intensity gives the piece a heart that pulses when morning light touches it and that glows like embers at dusk.

Imagine this cabochon at the center of a promise, set in a ring that slides onto the hand like a whispered yes, or held in a pendant above the chest where it keeps company with breath and heartbeat. Picture it framed by soft metals that echo the warm undertones of the ruby, gold that sings with its color, or cool white metal that lets the hue stand forward as the moment of focus, each choice turning the stone into the language of your own vows. This ruby will age as you do, picking up the small marks of days lived and memories made, and those marks will not diminish its voice, they will add chapters to the story already written in its inner world. To offer such a gem is to offer history and hope, a mineral memory that will witness anniversaries and quiet mornings, celebrations and ordinary evenings that become special by association. If you desire a gem that feels like a secret and looks like a pledge, this cabochon pinkish red ruby from Burma Myanmar is a companion of rare tenderness. The Natural Ruby Company invites you to hold it, to imagine it in a setting that is only yours, and to let the ruby become a luminous witness to the life you are shaping together.
