2.97 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful translucent 2.97 carat oval shape pinkish red ruby, dimensions 9.17 x 7.12 x 4.44 mm, cabochon cut, clarity included evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, origin Burma, Myanmar, is available through The Natural Ruby Company. This gem greets the eye with a warm pinkish red tone that leans toward the classic pigeon blood family while retaining a softer, romantic edge. The cabochon cut gives the surface a smooth high dome that concentrates the color and produces a gentle glow when light moves across it, and the excellent polish allows each light reflection to appear crisp and clean on the surface. At 2.97 carats this ruby has a presence that works beautifully in a bold ring or a statement pendant, and the oval outline with well balanced proportions makes it straightforward to set securely while showcasing maximum face up color. We disclose the heat treatment that improves tone and clarity, a widely accepted enhancement in trade, and note the stone is translucent rather than fully transparent which is typical for many attractive natural rubies from Burma.

Visually this cabochon ruby displays an even, saturated color that reads as intense to the eye, and the translucency gives it depth rather than a glassy transparency. Inclusions are present at the eye level and contribute to the natural character of the stone, they do not detract from the overall vibrancy and in some lighting conditions help to create an inner glow that is highly desirable. The dome and polish allow for a pleasing play of light, and the smooth surface feels luxurious to the touch. The dimensions make this gem versatile, it will sit comfortably in a protective bezel or come to life in a low profile prong mounting designed for cabochons, and it pairs well with warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold to enhance the pinkish red tones, or with platinum or white gold when a cooler, more modern contrast is desired. For customers seeking a unique engagement piece, an artisan pendant, or a bespoke ring, this ruby offers both character and classic appeal.

When you consider purchasing this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company you will receive full disclosure about its origin and treatment, and guidance on care and setting. Heat treatment is stable and permanent, and routine care involves gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners that can stress settings or fillers in more heavily treated gems. For protection and longevity a bezel setting is often recommended for cabochons, it protects the girdle and the dome while presenting a clean modern look, and a low profile prong setting is an alternative for those who prefer more metal to show less stone body. We can advise on ideal mount sizes, complementary accent stones, and design directions whether you prefer a single solitaire, a halo to increase perceived size, or a vintage inspired mount for an heirloom feel.
