A superb pair of ruby and diamond ear pendants

1

Lot 2083. A superb pair of 4.04 and 4.03 carats Burmese Mogok "pigeon blood red" ruby and diamond ear pendants. Estimate HKD 15,000,000 - HKD 25,000,000 (USD 2,000,000-3,200,000)© Christie's Images Ltd 2017

Each oval-shaped ruby, weighing approximately 4.04 and 4.03 carats, within a circular-cut diamond surround, each weighing approximately 0.64 to 0.58 carat, to the diamond surmount, weighing approximately 0.20 and 0.20 carat, mounted in platinum, 3.5 cm 

Accompanied by report no. 15105287/1 and 2 dated 26 October 2015 from the Gübelin GemLab stating that the rubies are of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating and trade colour is pigeon blood red; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the rubies possess a combination of outstanding characteristics. Besides their size, they display a richly saturated pigeon blood red colour. A set of two natural, non-enhanced rubies from Burma of this size, endowed with such intrinsic qualities as a high transparency, combined with a saturated colour, is very rare.

Premium report no. 82183 dated 25 September 2015 from the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute stating that the rubies are of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating and the colour of these rubies may also be called 'pigeon blood red' in the trade; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the rubies possess extraordinary characteristics and merits special mention and appreciation. The described pair of rubies is highly matching in size and weight and exceptional quality. Both rubies are characterized by an outstanding purity and an attractive saturated red colour, a combination rarely encountered in Burmese rubies of this size. The small inclusions found by microscopic inspection represent the hallmarks of rubies from the classical ruby mines in the Mogok Valley in Burma (Myanmar), well known for its wealth in gems since historic times. Their attractive saturated colour-poetically also referred to as “pigeon’s blood red”- is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in these gemstones, characteristic for the finest rubies from Mogok. Assembling a pair of natural rubies from Burma of this matching size and quality is rare and exceptional.
