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

Long before these two pear shape pinkish red rubies came into the light in our hands, they lived a patient life within the folded rocks of Burma, a land whose name is woven through the history of the finest rubies the world has known. Formed under heat and pressure over millions of years, these gems carried tiny signatures of their journey in fine mineral inclusions and in the intensity of their color. Our sourcing team at The Natural Ruby Company followed old routes and modern ethics to find a matched pair that came from the same pocket of ruby bearing rock, a circumstance that gives them a shared story and a rare visual harmony. They were recovered through careful digging and sorting, an intimate process that involves more listening than rushing, and when they first appeared the two stones showed a kinship in tone and tone depth that told us they belonged together.

The pair presents as 0.40 carats and 0.51 carats respectively, measuring 5.97 by 4.04 by 2.16 millimeters and 5.92 by 4.10 by 2.42 millimeters, a scale that is perfect for earrings or as complementary stones in a bespoke ring. Both are cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fiery internal reflection with the graceful silhouette of the pear shape, and they have been given an excellent polish that allows their surfaces to sing under light. The color is intense, a lively pinkish red that captures both warmth and clarity, while the clarity grade reads slightly included evaluated at eye level, a subtle testament to their natural origin that appears as delicate fingerprints rather than distractions. To enhance and stabilize their color the rubies have undergone heat treatment, a long established practice in gemology that deepens tone while preserving the stones stability for everyday wear.

What makes this pair especially evocative is how the cutter and polisher treated them as a matching set rather than as two separate stones. When the rough was evaluated, the decision was made to retain the natural proportions that gave the stones their complementary faces and optical flow, and then to cut them with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement that emphasizes both scintillation and depth. The slightly different weights create a conversational balance on the hand, the smaller linking gently to the larger like two notes in a melody that resolves as a pleasing interval. The excellent polish enhances this dialogue by allowing light to enter and exit cleanly, producing flashes of lighter pink and saturated red from different angles, while the inclusions sit as evidence of the earths authorship, not as flaws but as character.

Beyond their physical beauty these Burmese rubies carry cultural weight, having been admired for centuries as symbols of courage, vitality, and refined taste in jewelry collections around the world. Their origin in Burma connects them to a lineage of ruby lore and historic gem cutting, and owning a pair that were found together and crafted with that shared provenance makes them more than materials, it makes them a story to be worn. Whether set as delicate drop earrings that frame a face, placed in a bypass ring that lets them converse across a finger, or held in a custom piece that honors their pear silhouettes, these stones will reward thoughtful settings that allow their intense color and mixed brilliant facets to breathe. If you would like more technical details or assistance designing a setting that preserves their matching nature, we at The Natural Ruby Company would be delighted to guide you through the options, so that these two Burmese rubies may continue their journey from the earth into the light of daily life.
