3.55 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This cabochon ruby carries the weight of centuries of admiration, a small but powerful heirloom from the storied mines of Burma, Myanmar. Presented as one beautiful translucent 3.55 carat oval shape red ruby, with dimensions of 10.17 x 7.87 x 4.65 mm, its presence evokes classical jewels worn by royalty and collectors who prize legacy above fashion. The warm, intense color intensity of this gem recalls the legendary pigeon blood tones that made Burmese rubies sought after by emperors and connoisseurs, and its oval cabochon silhouette offers a timeless aesthetic that sits comfortably in rings, pendants, and settings that favor a softer, historical profile rather than contemporary facets.

Under careful inspection this ruby is graded included evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that in stones of this origin often reads as the fingerprint of the earth that formed it, a visible testament to its natural journey. The cabochon cut enhances translucency, allowing the rich red to glow from within, and the excellent polish gives the surface a mirror like sheen that amplifies the stone s antique charm. This specimen has been heat treated, a long accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color while preserving the stone s natural character. For clients who value provenance and story, these details confirm this gem s authenticity and classical appeal, rather than detracting from it. The combination of size, intense color, and cabochon form makes it a singular choice for someone seeking a durable, wearable treasure that nods to history.

At The Natural Ruby Company we present this Burmese ruby not only as a gem but as a continuation of tradition, a piece designed to be passed down and cherished. Whether set in a historically inspired ring with hand engraved shoulders, in a simple bezel pendant that highlights the stone s glow, or kept as a collector s piece, this ruby promises longevity and quiet prestige. I would be pleased to discuss setting suggestions, certification, or additional photos, and to help you place this classic example of Burmese beauty into a design that honors its heritage and secures its place in your family s story.
