9.60 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There are stones that seem to hold a heartbeat inside them, and this ruby arrives as if it were born of a single warm breath, a TGL certified Vivid Red Pigeons Blood of 9.60 carat, cushion shape, pinkish red, dimensions 14.63 x 11.07 x 6.41 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, origin Burma Myanmar, chosen and presented with care by The Natural Ruby Company. Imagine the color of a late summer sunset folded into a jewel, a depth of red that is at once tender and triumphant, a presence that asks for a close look and returns the gaze with a steady, luminous glow. The cushion silhouette carries old world romance, softened edges that cradle the light, while the facets of the mixed brilliant cut send sparks like small, deliberate flames from within.

Hold it up and you will see why collectors and dreamers are both ensnared, it is transparent and alive, not merely painted in color. The mixed brilliant cutting choreography makes each facet a storyteller, some whispering with subtle flashes, others pouring broader ribbons of the pigeons blood hue across the table. Slightly included at eye level means there are tiny signatures of nature, delicate inclusions that prove a life formed under pressure, minute traces that do not dim the ruby but rather authenticate its origin in Burma Myanmar, a land known for rubies of legend. The excellent polish allows the surface to sing under light, and the heat treated enhancement speaks of a careful hand that elevated its tone while preserving its natural soul, a balance of artistry and respect for the stone.

Consider this ruby set into a custom creation, imagine it embraced by a halo of fine white diamonds, small round brilliant accents that function like starlight surrounding a sunset, their icy clarity making the red sing with more intensity. For a vintage heart, picture old mine cut diamonds at the shoulders, their soft, warm scintillation echoing the cushion form, in 18k rose gold, a metal that bathes the ruby in a gentle glow and heightens the pinkish undertone. For a bolder contrast, envision paired sidestones of deep blue sapphire, a trio composition where the ruby is monarch between twin sapphires, the blue making the red appear ruddier and more regal, set in platinum to lend a modern, architectural edge. Alternatively, a delicate pavé of tiny cognac diamonds could warm the setting, or small green tsavorites could be used sparingly as accent dots to create a secret garden like palette where red and green converse like old friends. In a pendant, imagine the ruby suspended from a slender chain, a bezel of warm yellow gold that reads like a sunrise halo, or a hidden millegrain bezel in white gold that offers close up texture, the dimensions 14.63 x 11.07 x 6.41 mm making it bold enough to speak and small enough to nestle near the heart.
