7.63 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

One exquisite translucent ruby awaits you from The Natural Ruby Company, a single 7.63 carat oval purplish red gem that combines classic charm with a vivid presence. This stone measures 11.64 x 9.77 x 7.13 mm, and has been fashioned into a cabochon cut that emphasizes its deep, lustrous color and smooth domed surface. The clarity is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, which contributes to the natural character and depth within the gem without detracting from its overall visual appeal. Color intensity is intense, delivering a rich purplish red that reads as vibrant and regal, while the polish is excellent, producing high surface reflection and a satiny sheen across the dome. Enhancement has been applied through heat treatment, a standard and stable practice in ruby preparation, and the origin is Burma Myanmar, a source long celebrated for producing some of the most desirable rubies in the world.

Visually this cabochon ruby presents a warm, enveloping glow that differs from faceted rubies by offering a continuous field of color rather than the play of facets. The purplish red tone is beautifully saturated, with the cabochon cut allowing light to diffuse through the body of the stone and create a velvety, almost inner luminosity. At 7.63 carats and with the given dimensions, the gem has a substantial presence suitable for a striking solitaire pendant or a bold statement ring. The oval shape is elegant and versatile, lending itself to both classic and contemporary designs. Slight inclusions visible at eye level add to the gemological authenticity, and when viewed under different lighting the intense color retains its depth, making the ruby an ideal centerpiece for jewelry where color is the primary attraction.

The Burmese origin of this ruby enhances its desirability, as Burma Myanmar is historically prized for rich, saturated stones that often command collector interest. Heat treatment has been disclosed, and customers can be assured that this enhancement is a widely accepted method that improves color and clarity while remaining stable through normal wear. The slightly included clarity grade simply means there are internal features that are visible to the unaided eye, and these inclusions do not prevent the stone from achieving striking color and presence. For mounting and daily wear consideration, settings that protect the cabochon surface are recommended, such as bezel settings that cradle the dome, or a protective gallery for rings that minimizes direct impact. Metals like yellow gold and rose gold will warm the purplish red hue, while white gold and platinum will offer a crisp contrast that makes the color appear more vivid, and each choice creates a different style statement depending on your aesthetic preferences.

When caring for this heated cabochon ruby, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended to maintain the excellent polish and surface sheen. Avoid strong chemical cleaners and extreme temperature shock, and if you choose professional ultrasonic cleaning, please consult with a trusted jeweler first since inclusions can affect how the stone responds to intense treatments. At The Natural Ruby Company we value transparency and customer satisfaction, and we encourage buyers to request any additional information they need, including high resolution images, magnified views, and discussion about custom setting options. This ruby is ideal for someone seeking a notable, character rich gem with a historical and geographic pedigree, and our team can guide you through design considerations and secure, insured shipping options. If you would like to move forward with this exceptional Burmese ruby, or if you would like assistance in designing a setting that showcases the oval cabochon to its fullest, please reach out and we will be glad to assist you.
