7.10 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

As a sales specialist at The Natural Ruby Company, I am pleased to present one beautiful translucent 7.10 carat oval shape pinkish red ruby, a gem that combines generous size with classic cabochon elegance. This ruby measures 12.79 x 10.95 x 5.39 mm, dimensions that give it a commanding presence for a wide range of jewelry designs, from a statement ring to a refined pendant. The cabochon cut smooths and rounds the profile, allowing the intense pinkish red color to flow across the surface with a depth and glow that is uniquely appealing in softer lighting. The surface displays an excellent polish, which enhances the lively sheen and tactile appeal when the piece is set and worn. The translucency of the material gives the stone a luminous inner depth without the full transparency of a faceted stone, which in many designs reads as a warm living color rather than as sparkles and reflections.

In terms of gemological characteristics, this ruby is graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, a clarity assessment that reflects natural growth features that do not significantly detract from the gem s overall beauty. The intense color intensity is the star of the description, presenting a strong, saturated tone that falls in the desirable range for rubies from Burma. This piece is heat treated, an enhancement that is common and accepted in the trade to improve clarity and color stability, and our experienced gem team at The Natural Ruby Company has documented this treatment as part of our standard disclosure. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a provenance that carries historical prestige and a reputation for producing specimens with rich, velvety color. The cabochon form and the excellent polish work together to present that color in a smooth, continuous field, ideal for designs that emphasize color over faceting brilliance.

For a client considering this ruby, imagine it set in a simple four prong bezel that allows the cabochon profile to sit prominently, or nestled within a halo of fine accent stones to create contrast and visual depth, choices that showcase the intense pinkish red tone to its best advantage. The dimensions and weight make this ruby versatile enough to be a solitary centerpiece or to be paired with diamonds or colored gems for a bespoke commission, and our workshop can advise on mounting options that protect the cabochon dome while maximizing wearability. Care for a cabochon ruby is straightforward, using warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden thermal shock, and while this stone is durable it is best to remove it for heavy manual tasks to preserve the excellent polish. If you would like additional photos, reporting from our gem team, or guidance on design and pricing, I am available to assist, and The Natural Ruby Company stands ready to provide provenance information, secure handling, and professional advice to ensure that this 7.10 carat Burmese cabochon ruby finds its perfect setting and its appreciative owner.
