Platinum Burma Ruby and Diamond Ring
A striking ring boasting a 1.62 carat marquise cut ruby, and a platinum setting adds to its luster and beauty. The rich colored stone is simply and elegantly set with a baguette diamond on each side (.45 CTWT). It is currently a size 7 1/2. This is such an eye-catching ring of obvious quality.
Rubies command the highest price of any colored gemstone. Burma/Myanmar rubies are the most desirable of the corundum gemstone family. Burma rubies are among the rarest and most highly sought after. The legendary mines of Myanmar are known for producing some of the world’s most valuable gems. They are highly regarded for their saturated color and brilliance. Limited quantity adds to their value.
