A RUBY AND DIAMOND BRACELET
Designed as a line of oval-shaped rubies weighing approximately 2.42 to 1.06 carats, alternating with cushion-shaped diamonds, mounted in platinum, 16.5 cm long

Accompanied by report no. 11116143 dated 3 December 2011 from the Gübelin Gemmological Laboratory stating that the fourteen rubies are of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating; also accompanied by a note stating that Burma has long been recognized as the locality associated with the most desirable rubies in the world. Within Burma (now Myanmar), the most famed region is the Mogok Valley, or Mogok Stone Tract, in the Katha district, North East of Mandalay. These Mogok-type rubies typically possess a red body colour and red UV-fluorescence. In addition, they may contain tiny amounts of light-scattering rutile silk and a swirl-like growth pattern. It is this combination of features which gives these rubies their characteristic appearance
