7.77 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There are gemstones that tell the story of the earth and of human hands, and then there are rubies that carry entire chapters of history within their color. This beautiful semi transparent red ruby, presented by The Natural Ruby Company, resonates with the legacy of classic gems prized by emperors and artisans for millennia. Burmese rubies have been celebrated since ancient times for their intense, life like red, and this stone channels that same timeless aura. When a ruby is GIA certified, its pedigree is confirmed by one of the most respected laboratories in the world, and that certification anchors this gem in both natural origin and documented quality. The Lab Color Classification Red, and the documented origin Burma Myanmar, speak to a provenance that collectors and connoisseurs recognize as emblematic of the finest traditions in ruby sourcing.

The physical presence of the stone is equally compelling, and the specifics tell a story that blends nature and craftsmanship. Weighing 7.77 carat, this oval shape ruby measures 12.88 x 8.52 x 6.52 mm, a size and proportion that supports both bold single stone settings and elegant multi stone designs. The gem is fashioned in a double cabochon cut, a form with soft, domed surfaces that emphasize color and glow rather than facet brilliance. Its semi transparent character allows light to pass and diffuse through the body, producing a saturated and vivid color intensity that is unmistakably red. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, which means the internal features are natural signatures of formation rather than flaws introduced by treatment. This particular ruby has not undergone any enhancement, a trait that enhances its desirability among purists. The polish is excellent, allowing the curved surfaces to reflect gently and to reveal the depth of hue inherent to a natural Burmese stone.

To appreciate this ruby is to appreciate continuity and the hands that have set standards for beauty over centuries. In royal treasuries and private collections, cabochon rubies have long been admired for their ability to command attention without the angular flash of faceting. The double cabochon cut of this piece calls to mind classic silhouettes seen in antique jewelry, where the comfort of a smooth dome and the intensity of a pure red could be worn as a talisman or displayed as a badge of taste. Inclusions, when present in natural rubies, are not merely blemishes, they are hallmarks of authenticity that link a gem to its geological birthplace and to the thermal and chemical conditions under which it crystallized. The included clarity of this ruby, coupled with its vivid coloration and untreated status, situates it as a true natural treasure, one that will age with grace and that will remain a conversation piece for generations.

At The Natural Ruby Company we invite you to imagine possibilities for this exceptional stone, from a sophisticated solitaire ring that centers on the oval dome, to a bespoke pendant that showcases its warm red glow against either warm or cool metal. Its dimensions and weight lend themselves to designs that range from heirloom classics to contemporary statements. For care and preservation, keep the ruby away from harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and clean it with mild soapy water and a soft brush to maintain the excellent polish and the natural luster. As a GIA certified gem, full details of its report are available for your review, and our specialists are ready to discuss custom settings, secure shipping, and provenance documentation. If you seek a gemstone that embodies history, authenticity, and an enduring aesthetic, this 7.77 carat Burmese ruby offers a timeless choice, presented with the integrity and service of The Natural Ruby Company.
