A Phenomenal Ruby and Diamond Ring

珍貴罕有 8.05 克拉 天然 「緬甸鴿血紅」未經加熱 紅寶石 配 鑽石 戒指


Set with a cushion-shaped ruby weighing 8.05 carats, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds, to the pear-shaped diamond gallery and pavé-set diamond band, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold, size 6 ¾.


Accompanied by SSEF report no. 125370, dated 10 November 2022, and Gübelin report no. 22121028, dated 9 January 2023, both stating that the ruby is of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating, the colour of this ruby may also be called 'pigeon blood red'. Also accompanied by SSEF Appendix Letter, stating that the "ruby exhibits a remarkable size and weight of 8.049 ct, combined with an attractive and saturated red colour. … Its saturated red colour -poetically also referred to as ‘pigeon blood red’ – is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements, which are characteristic of the finest rubies from Mogok.”


Further accompanied by Gübelin Appendix stating that "Natural, gem-quality rubies have always been particularly sought after, and even more so for Mogok stones... The natural ruby of 8.05 ct described in … possesses a pleasant colour. In addition, this gemstone has been spared of thermal treatment. Such a combination of characteristic is rare in natural rubies from Mogok of this size."
