2.91 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This beautiful translucent 2.91 carat oval shape purplish red ruby measures 9.87 x 8.17 x 3.62 mm, and is cut en cabochon to reveal a deep, silky glow that emphasizes the stone body and color saturation. The cabochon cut softens strong reflections and showcases the intense color intensity while maintaining a smooth, domed profile that is ideal for classic and contemporary settings alike. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural rubies and contributes to the gem character and depth, with internal features that create visual interest beneath the surface. The polish on this gem is excellent, giving a mirror like sheen to the dome and enhancing the way light moves across the surface. At 2.91 carats the stone has an elegant presence, a weight that sits beautifully in rings, pendants, and bespoke designs, offering substantial color impact without overwhelming delicate mounting styles.

Sourced from Burma, Myanmar, this ruby carries the legacy of one of the most celebrated origins for fine rubies, known for rich, saturated tones and classic appeal. Enhancement by heat treated methods has been applied to improve color and clarity, a stable and accepted practice in the trade, and one that enhances durability and long term beauty when set and cared for properly. For daily wear I recommend secure bezel or claw settings that protect the dome, occasional gentle cleaning with warm soapy water, and avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme temperature shocks.

This purplish red Burmese cabochon is a refined choice for collectors and designers seeking a natural ruby with intense color, pleasing translucency, and a polished finish that will translate into a stunning finished jewel.
