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

This pair of transparent Burmese rubies presents a balanced and refined option for high end jewelry creators seeking statement elements for earring design. Individually they weigh 2.04 carats and 2.05 carats respectively, with cushion outlines that retain a classical profile while accommodating modern faceting. The gems were sourced from Burma, also known as Myanmar, and have undergone professional heat treatment to enhance stability and color uniformity. The Natural Ruby Company offers these stones as a matched pair, delivering consistent visual weight and tonal harmony that are essential for statement earrings where symmetry contributes directly to perceived quality.

The gems measure 6.42 by 6.33 by 5.28 millimeters and 6.69 by 6.52 by 4.76 millimeters, dimensions that place them in a size range well suited to prominent stud or drop earring designs. Each stone is cut in a cushion silhouette with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, a combination that optimizes internal light return while maintaining deeper color saturation. The cut proportions yield attractive table facets for frontal brilliance and faceted pavilions that contribute to scintillation when the wearer moves. The clarity is graded as included at eye level, which is typical for natural rubies from this origin, and the stones remain visually transparent with internal characteristics that are consistent with natural crystallization. The polish on both stones is excellent, resulting in clean facet junctions and a smooth finished surface that aids in light performance and overall finish.

Color properties are a defining feature of these rubies, noted for their vivid red intensity. The hue and saturation are strong enough to read as rich red under typical display lighting, while the mixed brilliant cut moderates the appearance of color in different mounting styles. In high fashion statement earrings the stones will radiate presence without appearing heavy, owing to their balanced carat weights and proportionate dimensions. Practical setting recommendations for designers include low profile bezel mounts that emphasize silhouette and color, classic prong settings that maximize light interaction and brilliance, and halo configurations that combine contrasting diamonds or colored gems to elevate perceived size and drama. For dynamic runway or editorial pieces, articulated dangle constructions will take advantage of the rubies natural scintillation and movement, while contemporary pavé or tension settings can be used to create architectural statements that foreground the stones.

From a handling and provenance perspective, the pair offers attributes that support high fashion and bespoke applications. The heat enhancement applied is a stable and commonly accepted treatment in natural ruby trade, and the included clarity grade indicates natural internal features that can add character when well integrated into design. The Natural Ruby Company can provide additional imagery, measurements, and handling guidance to assist goldsmiths and designers in planning settings that protect the gems while maximizing visual effect. Routine care for these gemstones includes avoiding prolonged exposure to ultrasonic cleaning when set, and employing gentle cleaning with a soft brush and warm soapy water when necessary, with professional inspection recommended prior to any high stress or kinetic earring construction. These rubies combine origin, color intensity, and cut quality in a matched pair that responds well to high fashion earring concepts, delivering both presence and workmanship compatibility for designers and manufacturers.
