Precious Necklace With Untreated Burma Ruby, Circa 1910

Due to their outstanding quality and excellent colouration, rubies from Burma are among the most precious gemstones of all and are often more valuable than diamonds of the same size. They are traditionally found in the area around Mogok in present-day Myanmar. Rubies from other locations, such as Thailand or Africa, are nowadays almost always heated to improve their colour and purity. This is often not necessary for rubies from Mogok - their natural color and beauty require no enhancement. One such untreated, unheated and intensely luminous ruby from Burma is the centerpiece of the following necklace, which came to us from a distinguished Berlin family. The stone has been cut into a faceted drop and shines in a wonderful pink-red. It weighs over 2.5 carats. Two elegant loops set with sparkling diamonds - one larger and one slightly smaller - lead to the ruby framed by diamonds. The delicate white gold chain has been renewed once so that the piece of jewellery can be worn carefree. To ensure that our ruby is indeed an untreated gemstone from Burma, we have commissioned an appraisal to confirm both the quality of the gemstone and its origin.
