A Burmese ruby cut as a graceful pear — an elegant, tapering shape that flatters the finger and works beautifully as a pendant or a ring center. GLC attributes it to Myanmar, the most storied of ruby origins. The color is a lively purple-red, bright and pink-leaning in the light rather than dark, and the shallow, wide cut lets it face up larger than its one carat. It carries natural silk inside — the fine internal markings that mark a genuine, earth-mined stone — and shows indications of heating, as most rubies do. A natural Burmese pear with real character and a shape that always draws the eye.
