  • Catalogue Essay

    Mogok are yielding fewer and fewer rubies in recent decades, even more scarce are rubies from the region that weight over five carats after cutting and polishing. Demand has been insatiable, yet supply is scarce. What makes this 5.19-carat untreated Burmese (Mogok) ruby more precious is its colour. Certified to possess ‘pigeon’s blood red’ is veritably one of the finest rubies one could see on the market these days.
