4.11 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

If you are searching for the perfect statement stone for an engagement ring, or a rare collectible ruby that combines investment value with undeniable beauty, this Burmese ruby from The Natural Ruby Company answers that search. This transparent oval ruby weighs 4.11 carats, measuring 9.72 by 8.10 by 6.17 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and brilliance. Its vivid red color intensity draws the eye immediately, while an excellent polish enhances faceted reflections for a lively face up presentation. Clarity is described as very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem presents remarkable visual purity in everyday viewing, and heat treatment has been applied to improve color and clarity in a stable, widely accepted manner.

Durability is essential for any piece intended for daily wear, and this ruby stands up exceptionally well. As a variety of corundum, it rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest natural gemstones available, second only to diamond at 10. This hardness gives it strong resistance to scratches and abrasion compared with more fragile stones, for example quartz at 7 or topaz at 8, and it is more resilient than many emeralds which are often heavily included. The high hardness, combined with the excellent polish and careful cutting, makes this ruby an ideal choice for an engagement ring setting where longevity matters, or for a collector seeking a durable, wearable gem with classic provenance from Burma.

At The Natural Ruby Company we understand that every client has a unique vision, and this ruby is versatile enough to fulfill many aspirations. Its 4.11 carat weight and vivid Burmese hue are perfect for a solitaire ring that reads timeless and elegant, or for a bespoke design paired with diamonds to accentuate its rich color. For collectors, the transparent body, mixed brilliant cut, and Burmese origin add to its desirability and long term appeal. If you want guidance on mounting options, appraisal documentation, or a virtual viewing to confirm its presence on the finger, we are ready to assist, and to ensure this exceptional ruby becomes the ending to your search.
