  • Catalogue Essay

    The term “Pigeon’s blood” was originated from Burma and commonly used to describe the finest color of rubies. The crimson glow that is saturated but vivid due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in the stone as well as a velvety softness from the natural tiny needle-like inclusions that scatter light onto its facets. The pair of rubies to be offered here is a great example of this Burmese gem, spared of heat treatment indicating that its supreme color and clarity are completely natural.
