3.56 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exceptional, translucent ruby offers a rare opportunity to own a gemstone of true distinction, an heirloom quality cabochon that speaks to connoisseurs and collectors who seek pieces with provenance and personality. At 3.56 carats, this oval shaped ruby measures 10.24 by 8.48 by 4.31 mm, and its pinkish red hue radiates with an intense color that is both vivid and refined. Sourced from Burma, Myanmar, a region celebrated for producing some of the world most coveted rubies, this gem carries the storied legacy of Burmese deposits, while its cabochon cut enhances depth and saturation in a way that faceted stones do not, offering a glowing surface and a warm, internal luminosity. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth domed top that catches light in broad, luminous reflections, and the translucency allows for a lively play of color while preserving a sense of softness and inner fire that is uniquely elegant.

From a gemological perspective this ruby is heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies natural color, and it has been evaluated with a clarity grade of included at eye level, a characteristic that affirms its natural origin and gives each example a fingerprint like identity that collectors prize. The cabochon form reveals inclusions in a way that can add character rather than detract from value, allowing the stone to tell its own story through subtle internal features that are visible to the eye, features that experienced collectors view as confirmation of authenticity and natural formation. The dimensions and weight make this ruby highly versatile for bespoke jewelry, whether set in a solitary statement ring, as the heart of a custom pendant, or as a striking accent in a balanced vintage inspired design. Because true Burmese rubies of this size and color intensity are scarce on the market, availability is limited, and this stone represents a rare alignment of weight, hue, and cut that will not be easily replaced. Ownership of a piece like this places you among a selective group who appreciate the history and rarity embodied in genuine natural rubies.
