    Sapphire has long been regarded as a royal gem, coveted for its colour and extreme hardness, rendering it a symbol of both power and wealth. Although most known for its rubies, some of the world’s finest sapphires are mined in Burma, particularly in the Mogok region. Modern Burmese mines yield very few sapphires and very few of gem-quality over ten carats make their way to the present day market. Burma accounts for only 10% of the world’s total rubies and sapphires, and less than 1% stones of these are gem quality. The depth of colour and crisp transparency of Burmese sapphires often emit a sense of robust brilliance. The present bracelet is a remarkable piece of sapphire jewellery, set with thirty-five well-matched, gem quality Burmese sapphires, the richness of blue glitters between numerous colourless diamonds, a vigorous expression of cosmopolitan glamour.
