3.75 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

Presenting a beautiful translucent 3.75 carat oval red ruby from The Natural Ruby Company, measuring 10.25 x 7.90 x 4.59 mm. This gem is fashioned as a cabochon, with a smooth domed face that emphasizes depth of color and a soft inner glow rather than faceted brilliance. The color intensity is described as intense, offering a saturated red that reads vividly in daylight and under softer indoor lighting. Clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, meaning natural inclusions are visible and contribute to the stone s character and story, an authentic hallmark of natural Burmese rubies. The polish is excellent, creating a glass like sheen across the dome and enhancing tactile appeal. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and enrich the hue, which is a widely accepted practice in the trade and does not alter the natural origin. The origin is Burma, Myanmar, a region famed for producing rubies with strong, desirable color, and this provenance adds historical and collector interest to the piece.

At 3.75 carats with an elegant oval profile this ruby is versatile for fine jewelry, ideal as the centerpiece in a bezel set ring, as a pendant to showcase color against the skin, or in bespoke vintage inspired designs where the cabochon form complements soft lines. The translucent nature allows light to soften as it passes through the dome, creating a warm internal glow that pairs especially well with warm gold settings, though fine platinum or white gold can provide a modern contrast. Because the gem is cabochon cut and contains natural inclusions I recommend protective settings that reduce the risk of hard knocks, and I can assist with matching side stones or designing a custom mount that highlights the stone s unique character. For care avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, store separately to prevent abrasion, and avoid prolonged exposure to household chemicals and extreme heat. Heat treatment is stable but as with all natural gemstones care is advised.
