4.47 Ct. Star Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

When you are looking for a truly remarkable gemstone that ends the search for rarity, beauty, and lasting meaning, this red star ruby answers that need. Many clients come to us seeking a stone that will become the center of attention in an engagement ring, a treasured addition to a collector portfolio, or a unique heirloom to pass down through generations. You may want a gem that shows natural asterism under light, that carries an origin story of classical ruby sources, and that arrives without treatments that compromise authenticity. You may also seek a gem that is ready to be set in a custom design without further modification, with consistent polish and a finish that highlights the star. For those who value natural, untreated gemstones of distinguished provenance, this ruby from Burma Myanmar meets each of these desires, delivering presence, provenance, and purity in one compact, luminous package.

This is a translucent 4.47 carat oval shape red star ruby, presented in a classic cabochon cut to showcase its star phenomenon. The dimensions are 10.84 x 7.63 x 4.60 mm, ideal for many jewelry applications from bold cocktail rings to elegant pendants. At eye level the clarity grade is included, which is common for natural star rubies and does not diminish the gem in person, because the asterism and intense color draw the eye and define the stone. The color intensity is described as intense, a deep and appealing red that catches and holds light, and the polish is excellent so the surface reflects cleanly and enhances the star effect. There is no enhancement, ensuring this piece is natural and untreated, a quality that many collectors and connoisseurs prioritize. The origin is Burma Myanmar, a classic source renowned for producing truly exceptional rubies and strong asterism in star stones, and this gem exhibits the hallmark combination of saturated color and a distinct star that moves crisply when the stone is tilted under a focused light source.

If you are designing an engagement ring, imagine this oval cabochon set in a low bezel or a secure prong setting that allows light to travel across the crown and reveal the star during daily wear. The stone sits comfortably at 10.84 x 7.63 x 4.60 mm, giving enough surface area for a clear six ray star to appear under direct light, yet it remains proportional to a variety of mounting styles. For collectors seeking rarity and authenticity, the combination of 4.47 carat weight, Burmese origin, intense red color, and no enhancement makes this ruby a strong candidate for a focused ruby collection. For jewelry designers and bespoke projects, the translucent body and excellent polish allow the gem to be paired with warm metals that enhance the red tones, such as yellow gold, or contrasted with platinum for a modern statement. The included clarity grade means the natural internal features will be visible under magnification, telling the story of formation deep in the earth, while the star provides a living, dynamic element that moves and changes with light, making each viewing a new experience.

At The Natural Ruby Company we understand that choosing a special ruby is both an emotional and technical decision, and we are here to guide you through every step. We can provide detailed imagery and lighting views so you can see how the star behaves at different angles, and we will discuss setting options that protect the stone while maximizing its visual impact. For an engagement ring, we recommend a design that secures the cabochon while allowing the crown to be fully exposed, so the star can be appreciated without obstruction. For a pendant or brooch, a slightly elevated bezel will showcase the asterism and provide everyday protection. We also advise routine gentle cleaning and careful storage to preserve the surface and polish, because this natural cabochon will reward thoughtful care with continued brilliance. Our team can assist with custom design introductions to trusted jewelers, or we can recommend settings and metals that complement the intense red color and the oval silhouette. The Natural Ruby Company prides itself on matching the right gem to your intent, whether that intent is to celebrate a milestone, to build a curated collection, or to secure a truly authentic, untreated Burmese star ruby.
