The Jubilee Ruby: Worthy of a King

This April, Christie’s New York presents the most important ruby of its caliber to be offered in the United States for over 25 years

Featured in the upcoming auction of Magnificent Jewels & the Jubilee Ruby

Rahul Kadakia, International Head of Jewellery: ‘Top quality Burmese rubies of over 15 carats are an absolute rarity in the world of coloured gemstones, and the record price of $18.3 million achieved for the 15.04 carat Crimson Red Ruby at Christie’s Hong Kong in December 2015 exemplified the voracious appetite of collectors for these gems. Fittingly, the Jubilee Ruby comes up for sale on Christie’s 250th anniversary, allowing gem connoisseurs the opportunity to own the very best Burmese ruby offered for sale in the United States in over two-and-a-half decades.’
