Catalogue Essay
As the King of Precious Stones, translated from its name "ratnaraj" in Sanskrit, the ruby exhibits an exceedingly intense crimson colour, due to the presence of chromium in its crystal structure. This trace element not only brings a red body colour to rubies, but also a red fluorescent emission to daylight. This dual action supercharges the hue to a level of intensity unrivaled by any other red gemstones. The finest examples of the world's most highly prized rubies are found in Burma, particuarly in the Mogok region. The characteristic red fluorescence and light-scattering inclusions give Burmese rubies an imcomparable crimson glow.
A matching pair of unheated Burmese rubies, as presented in this pair of earrings, possessing great saturation and homogeneity of colour combined with a high degree of transparency is very rare and one of the most desirable items among all gem connoisseurs.
