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

This matched pair of natural Burmese rubies offers a precise balance of size and color, with weights of 0.47 carats and 0.53 carats respectively, combining to an exact total of 1.00 carat. Each stone is cut to an elegant oval outline with dimensions of 5.88 x 3.98 x 2.44 mm and 5.97 x 4.00 x 2.57 mm, and both are fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that blends step and brilliant faceting to optimize both color and light return. The face up appearance is a pinkish red hue with intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and the clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor natural inclusions that do not materially detract from transparency or brilliance. These rubies have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines saturation and clarity while preserving the natural origin and structure of the stones. The provenance is Burma Myanmar, a region historically prized for producing rubies with vivid saturation and a warm, classical red that appeals to educated buyers and collectors.

The cutting and finishing of these stones demonstrate high quality craftsmanship, with precise facet junctions and well executed symmetry that enhance scintillation and overall light performance. The mixed brilliant design creates a dynamic interplay between broad flashes of color and lively pin point sparkle, so the stones exhibit strong brilliance under direct light and a pleasing even color distribution in diffuse lighting. The excellent polish contributes to clean windowless face up appearance, reinforcing depth of color and maximizing visual impact when set. As a matched pair they are ideal for fine stud earrings or as complementary side stones, offering reliable matching in tone and size for balanced jewelry design. At The Natural Ruby Company we prioritize transparent disclosure of treatment and origin, and we present these rubies to buyers who value documented Burmese provenance, meticulous cutting, and a balance of natural character with refined optical performance.
