Burmese Rubies

Fine Burmese rubies are prized for vivid red color and the distinctive character historically associated with stones from Myanmar. Origin alone, however, does not determine quality. Color is the primary consideration, followed by transparency, cut, size, inclusions, and whether the ruby has been heated or otherwise treated. A respected laboratory report can document geographic origin and disclose detectable treatments.

Estate Diamond Jewelry evaluates each ruby individually rather than relying on the Burma name alone. The collection includes loose gemstones and rubies set in antique, vintage, and signed jewelry, with both heated and unheated examples. Michael Khordipour and Afshin Shaddaie consider face-up color, brightness, clarity, cut, treatment status, laboratory findings, and how effectively the setting complements the stone. The result is a carefully chosen collection with exceptional beauty, rarity, and collector appeal.
