GIA Certified Unheated Burmese Ruby and Diamond Cocktail Ring, 2.25-Carat

At the center of this dazzling ring lies a gemstone of extraordinary significance, a 2.25-carat GIA-certified unheated Burmese ruby.

To encounter a Burmese ruby of this size, color, and unheated purity is truly a gemological rarity, as it is estimated that over 90% of gemstones on the market undergo some form of treatment. Burma rubies are renowned for their unmatched saturation, crystalline transparency, and inner fire. To find an example rich in magenta and crimson undertones that is completely unaltered is a true marvel.

The supply of untreated Burma rubies has long been constrained by both limited geological yield and historical mining restrictions. Every such stone represents a finite, irreplaceable resource that collectors, connoisseurs, and royal houses have pursued for centuries. To find one set in its original mid-century mounting, preserved in this condition, is even more exceptional.

Encircling the ruby is a radiant starburst of 21 near-colorless marquise-cut diamonds, totaling 1.90 carats, to amplify the ruby’s brilliance. Their crisp sparkle creates a halo of light that seems almost to lift the ruby outward, enhancing both its color and dimensional presence. Crafted entirely from platinum, the ring reflects the glamour, symmetry, and architectural brilliance that encapsulated the 1950s.

Accompanied by its GIA report (No. 2175059832) confirming its Burmese origin and unheated status, this ring stands as a testament to the rare beauty and enduring value of one of the world’s most revered gemstones.

A jewel of profound rarity, historical significance, and timeless elegance.
