The exquisite 5.70-carat ruby and 4.54-carat diamond showcased in this bypass ring create a tantalizing interplay. The pear-shaped crimson gemstone is certified by the American Gemological Laboratories as being Burmese in origin and all natural, with no indications of thermal treatment to influence the stone’s color. The rich red ruby exhibits the coveted hue for which the best Burma rubies are prized. Political unrest caused the closure of the mines in the early 1960s, making these gems exceedingly rare and sought-after. The pear-shaped Golconda diamond is equally remarkable, certified by the Gemological Institute of America as a highly desirable type IIa diamond with VVS1 clarity. As the GIA notes in its accompanying letter, “Type IIa diamonds are the most chemically pure type of diamond and often have exceptional optical transparency.” Together, the jewels find a breathtaking harmony in their classic platinum setting.
