3.84 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

I am pleased to introduce a striking translucent ruby from Burma Myanmar offered by The Natural Ruby Company, a gemstone that combines classic beauty with collector appeal. This gem weighs 3.84 carats and is fashioned into a graceful oval shape with exact dimensions of 10.39 by 8.45 by 4.29 millimeters, a size that reads as substantial without overwhelming a design. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stones smooth domed surface and internal glow, and it has been heat treated to enhance clarity and color stability, a common and accepted enhancement in fine rubies. Clarity is graded as included at eye level, which means natural internal characteristics are visible under normal viewing conditions, adding authenticity and character rather than detracting from the gems charm. The polish has been finished to an excellent standard, so the surface reflects light cleanly and supports the rich sensory appeal of the piece.

The color of this ruby is the attribute that first captures attention, showing an intense red saturation that reads vivid and lively under both natural and artificial light. Because the gem is translucent rather than fully transparent, it offers a velvety depth where color seems to come from within, producing a soft inner glow that is particularly suited to cabochon cutting. Inclusions are present and visible at eye level, yet they are well distributed and contribute to the stones veracity as a natural Burmese ruby, rather than indicating damage or poor quality. These internal features can create subtle chatoyancy and textural interest when the stone is examined or set in jewelry, and they pair well with the polished dome to give a pleasing play of light. The excellent polish enhances luster and allows that intense color to read cleanly to the eye, making the stone an attractive center for jewelry that benefits from a rich red focal point.

For design and wearability, this ruby is versatile and lends itself to many settings where a cabochon will show to best advantage, including classic solitaire pendants, bezel set rings, and vintage inspired brooches or bracelets that favor smooth silhouettes. The oval proportions make it easy to orient lengthwise in a pendant or horizontally in a ring, and the substantial yet wearable dimensions mean it can be appreciated daily or reserved for special occasions. Because it comes from Burma Myanmar, a locality renowned for producing some of the worlds most desirable rubies, the provenance adds a layer of appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value origin alongside aesthetic traits. Heat treatment is disclosed, and this standard enhancement helps the gem reach its intense color while maintaining long term stability, a practical and expected improvement for rubies on the market. At The Natural Ruby Company we emphasize accurate disclosure and responsible sourcing, so you can purchase with confidence knowing the gems background and treatments are clearly explained.

Caring for this ruby is straightforward, and with proper handling it will retain its beauty for generations. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals because cabochon stones with internal inclusions are best cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush, followed by a gentle dry with a lint free cloth. When setting the stone consider protective settings like bezel mounts for rings that will be worn frequently, and reserve more exposed prong settings for pieces that receive less impact. If you would like additional information about certification, mounting options, or matching pairings, The Natural Ruby Company is ready to assist with professional advice tailored to your design goals and budget. We can provide detailed images, commentary on setting compatibility, and guidance on insurance and appraisals, so you can proceed with a purchase that feels right in both heart and value.
