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

This pair of pear shape rubies showcases how superior cutting brings out the innate fire and face up color that set Burmese rubies apart, each stone weighing 0.37 carats and 0.41 carats, with dimensions 5.82 x 3.99 x 2.21 mm and 5.90 x 4.14 x 2.40 mm. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant facet pattern on the crown with a modified pavilion to maximize internal reflection, producing vivid return of light and lively scintillation with every movement. The pear silhouette concentrates color toward the tip and the broader shoulder, so the cutter has balanced facet size and angles to enhance the vivid color intensity while preserving brightness and contrast. With clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level and an excellent polish, these stones deliver clean, crisp flashes of light that compete with larger but less well cut rubies, because the quality of facet junctions and surface finish determines how much light is returned to the viewer, not just carat weight or origin. Heat treated in a careful and stable way, these rubies show an even, lively red that reads vivid under the eye, and the high polish further amplifies brilliance and the sharpness of dispersion, making these stones appear more vibrant and lively than many commercially available pieces.

Compared to mass market rubies that are often cut shallow, deep, or with mismatched facet symmetry, this matched pair stands out for its optical performance and balanced proportions, qualities that translate into immediate visual impact and lasting value. The origin Burma Myanmar contributes to the desirability and classic color profile collectors seek, yet what truly sets these apart is the combination of expert cutting, matching proportions for a pair, and meticulous finishing, which together provide a level of presence and sophistication higher than typical off the shelf stones. For settings that benefit from directional sparkle such as stud earrings, drop pendants, or custom designs, these stones offer superior light return and color saturation without the need to compromise on size for performance. The Natural Ruby Company sources and grades gems with attention to cut geometry and polish, so buyers receive rubies that are not only beautiful in color, but optimized to perform in real life, delivering the brilliance and depth that discerning customers expect and seldom find at this level of matching and finish.
