3.10 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

I am pleased to present one beautiful translucent 3.10 carat oval shape ruby from The Natural Ruby Company, a fine example for collectors and designers who appreciate classic elegance and natural character. This gemstone measures 8.92 x 7.21 x 4.82 mm, and it is fashioned as a cabochon, a cut that emphasizes smooth, domed surfaces and depth of color. The stone shows a pinkish red hue with intense color intensity, a clarity grade of included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that gives the surface a lively, reflective finish. The ruby has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement used to improve clarity and color, and the origin of this ruby is Burma, Myanmar. These core details define the gem and will help you visualize how it will perform when set in jewelry or added to a collection.

Visually the cabochon form gives this 3.10 carat oval a soft and luminous presence, allowing the pinkish red tones to breathe and glow from within. Translucency means that light penetrates the stone and disperses through the material, creating a warm and inviting appearance rather than a mirror like reflection. Inclusions are present as expected in an included clarity grade, and they add to the natural identity and fingerprint of the stone, often seen as fine silk like textures or tiny mineral features beneath the dome. Because the polish is excellent, the surface remains smooth and appealing to the eye, and you will notice the intense color across the crown when the ruby is held under daylight and under warm incandescent lighting. The pinkish red color is versatile, flattering a variety of skin tones, and its intensity gives the gem presence even in smaller settings, while the cabochon shape reads slightly larger face up than a faceted stone of the same carat weight.

As a salesperson familiar with gemstones I like to suggest settings and design approaches that enhance this ruby, while protecting its cabochon dome and showcasing its Burmese origin. An east west bezel in 18 karat yellow gold will bring out warmer red notes and provide a secure frame for daily wear. A simple prong cup with a low profile bezel in platinum will emphasize the silhouette and add cool contrast for a refined pendant or a statement ring. Because the stone is 8.92 x 7.21 x 4.82 mm, it sits comfortably in a solitaire style ring or a bespoke cluster where accent stones can be chosen to compliment rather than overpower the main color. The heat treatment is stable, and normal careful wear will not alter the improved appearance, but I recommend avoiding sudden temperature extremes and harsh chemicals, and advising routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The Burmese provenance is meaningful to many buyers, Burma Myanmar being renowned for producing some of the world’s most sought after rubies, and while each stone is evaluated on its own merits, origin often contributes to desirability and historical value.
