Natural Burmese Ruby Necklace

Fine Burmese ruby necklace set with unheated rubies weighing 23ctw in 18k.

These natural rubies are that identifiable pinkish red Burmese rubies are known for, ranging from red to vivid red stones.

Many Burmese rubies are commonly heated. To get unheated rubies with no residue AND still in a bold red AND clean – it is not easy.

Hence this necklace is precious for getting in one place many uniformly red untreated rubies of Burmese provenance.

The rubies are prong set into individual ‘box’ bezels that are interlinked box-by-box, a technique that gives an outlook like many Georgian multi-stone necklaces.

The mount maintains the V shape centremost, while the rest of the necklace is flexible.

These ruby stones are not small, hence this V necklace can be worn on its own or with a pendant.

There are 47 rubies, each ruby is around 0.5ct, the uncalibrated lot of stones paved in an unembellished line design is: organic (the effect of yellow gold on red rubies), and ultra chic (because it is so simple).

This necklace is suitable if you love ruby jewelry and know how rare these stones are, two decades ago, now more.

The red tinged with pink in these rubies are so buoyant we have to tone down in photos.

The Mogok ruby effect is hard to put in words, when the rubies are clean like this, the eyes can appreciate the luminosity of the red to increase the lower the light (last photo).

The necklace measures 17″.

All the other sets photographed together showcase natural gems of Burmese provenance.
