2.28 ct Red Ruby - Oval

This 2.28-carat ruby is cut as an oval measuring 7.1 x 5.2 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Burma.

Ruby and sapphire are the same mineral, corundum; the trade gives the red its own name, and the best of it commands prices few gems can match. Burma is the historic benchmark for ruby; Mogok reds are what the trade grades against, from deposits narrow enough to keep the name expensive. It is heated, a standard and stable treatment that we disclose plainly, the way an honest seller should.

There are not many gemstones like it, and there will not be more. Shown in good light, with its full history available before you commit.
