0.58 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Ruby Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

This matched pair of natural Burmese rubies from The Natural Ruby Company presents precise gemmological parameters that will appeal to technically minded clients, each weighing 0.29 carats, with measurements of 3.98 x 3.96 x 2.55 mm and 3.94 x 3.91 x 2.34 mm respectively, round shape, mixed brilliant cut, vivid color intensity, clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant faceting indicates a combination of brilliant crown facets paired with a modified pavilion geometry intended to maximise face up color and controlled light return, which is evident in the even saturation and pinpoint flashes across the table. The slight variance in proportions between the two stones is within tight tolerances for matched pairs, and the shallow pavilion depths create a strong face up presence for their carat size, making them ideal as matched centers for small scale jewellery or accents in a bridal composition. Enhancement is heat treatment, a common and stable treatment to enhance color clarity, and the origin is Burma, Myanmar, which contributes to the deep pigeon blood leaning hue and strong saturation observed.

For bridal set applications these rubies offer multiple technical mounting options, depending on design intent and wearability priorities. As earring studs, a four prong, low profile head will expose the crown facets to light, maintaining brilliance while keeping the stones close to the ear, or a fine bezel with internal polished seat will provide increased security and a contemporary silhouette that also intensifies the perceived color by blocking light leakage at the girdle. For engagement or wedding rings, the pair can function as companion stones flanking a central diamond or coloured center, used as twin center stones in a bypass or twin ring, or set individually in matching engagement and wedding bands. Prong counts of four or six should be chosen based on girdle thickness and desired light entry, while metal selection of platinum or 18 carat white gold will emphasize brilliance and contrast, and 18 carat yellow or rose gold will warm the overall appearance and enhance the ruby red. The excellent polish and mixed brilliant cutting make these stones particularly responsive to halo or micro pavé settings, where small diamonds will accentuate the ruby saturation. The Natural Ruby Company can advise on precise rim heights, cup depths, and recommended setting tolerances to ensure optimal sight lines, secure settings, and enduring performance within a bridal set.
