2.91 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There are few gemstones that carry the weight of centuries like a Burmese ruby, and this 2.91 carat oval purplish red cabochon is a quiet ambassador of that storied past. Mined in the ruby lands of Burma, Myanmar, its translucency and intense color intensity recall the royal treasuries of Asia, where rubies were prized for their warmth and enduring beauty. Measuring 9.87 by 8.17 by 3.62 millimeters, the stone has been shaped into a smooth cabochon to emphasize depth and color rather than sparkle, a choice that honors traditional cutting practices and the heritage of collectors who value substance over flash. The clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, a natural signature of origin that speaks to the gem s authenticity, and the piece has received expert heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color in a manner consistent with long established gemological practice. The excellent polish on the dome of the cabochon allows light to travel through the body of the ruby, offering a soft, luminous glow that changes with each turn, evoking the timeless appeal of antique rubies set in heirloom jewels.
