Edwardian Burma Ruby Bracelet

Dating from circa 1910, this Edwardian ruby, diamond and platinum bracelet is accompanied by a report from American Gemological Laboratories stating that the ruby is unheated and of Burma origin. The bracelet is designed as a length of delicate diamond rope twist intertwined around a central circular-cut Burma ruby weighing approximately 2.05 carats. Mounted in a refined piece of Edwardian platinum work, with its soft and supple feel, this rare Burma ruby glows vividly on the wrist.

Since the mid-20th century, the flow of natural unheated Burma rubies, always rare and prized, has diminished markedly. Likely cut from a hexagonal tablet-form crystal, this gem is saturated enough to return intense color to the eye, without the substantial depth that often interferes with an elegant setting. Thus, this ruby's face up outline is that of a gem at least twice its weight. Such a stone is almost unobtainable today from current production, due to source deposit depletion, and the fact that as at least 98 percent of colored gems are now heat treated to enhance their color.
