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

As a salesperson at The Natural Ruby Company, I present a beautifully matched pair of transparent pear shape pinkish red rubies, each weighing 0.48 carats, with dimensions 5.88 x 4.08 x 2.46 mm and 6.06 x 3.99 x 2.64 mm, each cut in a mixed brilliant style and polished to an excellent finish. The pair exhibits intense color intensity with a lively saturation that reads as a vivid pinkish red across a range of lighting conditions, a primary attribute that determines desirability and visual impact. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor internal features that do not detract from transparency or light performance, and which often add to the natural character valued by collectors. These stones have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines tone and improves overall appearance without altering the gem's natural origin. The rubies derive from Burma, Myanmar, a source historically prized for producing rubies with exceptional color and optical character, and there is no evidence of filling or other invasive treatments. The mixed brilliant cut combined with excellent polish provides lively scintillation and efficient light return for the size, and the careful selection process ensures both gems work together visually.

Beyond technical specification, owning a matched pair of rubies conveys emotional meaning and intentionality, matched gemstones symbolize balance, partnership, and thoughtful curation, and they speak to moments meant to be shared or remembered. For the educated buyer a matched set from The Natural Ruby Company represents not only aesthetic harmony but also the skill involved in matching color, tone, and cut across two natural stones, a task made more demanding when sourcing Burmese material with intense color. The slight differences in dimensions are within acceptable tolerance and have been selected to balance visual weight and sparkle when set, preserving the symmetry and unity that make paired stones special. These rubies are ideal as paired earrings, matched accents in a bespoke ring, or mirrored motifs in a pendant, and they function equally as a meaningful gift or a considered addition to a collection. We recommend settings that protect the pointed pear tips and that maximize face up color, and we advise gentle cleaning and periodic professional inspection to maintain brilliance and color so these paired rubies may be enjoyed now and passed on as an heirloom.
