A RARE RUBY AND DIAMOND NECKLACE
The cushion-shaped diamond line necklace suspending fifty-eight cushion-shaped rubies, linked by circular-cut diamond collets, mounted in platinum and gold, 41.0 cm
Accompanied by report no. 99405 dated 16 April 2018 from the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute stating that the rubies are of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the rubies, summing up to a remarkable total weight of 69.45 ct (declared weight), have been carefully selected for this necklace and exhibit a matching colour and a fine purity. The small inclusions found by microscopic inspection and the analysed properties of these rubies are the hallmarks of rubies from the reputed mines in Mogok valley and Mong Hsu (southeast of Mogok). Their attractive red colour is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements, which are the characteristic for the finest rubies from Burma (Myanmar). Assembling a matching selection of natural rubies from Burma of this quality can be considered rare and exceptional; and an additional information letter stating that although it might be an option that few of these rubies are of pigeon blood red colour, SSEF would only be able to fully grade these rubies in loose state after they have been unset

Report no. 17102094/ 1 to 57 dated 3 April 2018 from the Gübelin GemLab stating that the fifty-seven rubies are of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating and a few of the rubies are called pigeon blood red; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the gemstones possess a saturated and homogenous colour. The colour variety of a few of the rubies in this necklace and earrings set (presented in this sale: lot 2061 and lot 2059) may also be called "pigeon's blood red" in the trade

Report no. 17102094/ 58 dated 3 April 2018 from the Gübelin GemLab stating that the 2.60 carat ruby is of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating

US$2,300,000-3,500,000
