Burma Ruby: A Timeless Treasure from the Heart of Myanmar

Burma, now known as Myanmar, has long been revered as the most ancient and esteemed source of rubies in the world. The history of Burmese rubies is as rich and colourful as the gems themselves, with a legacy that intertwines with legends and lore. Sourcing high-quality rubies from this region, particularly those of exceptional clarity and colour, has always been a remarkable challenge, reflecting the rarity and value of these precious stones.

The Pinnacle of Ruby Quality: Unheated Pigeonblood Rubies

Among the array of rubies, the ‘pigeonblood’ variety stands at the pinnacle of desirability. This term is reserved for rubies of a very specific and deep red colour, with a hint of blue that mimics the hue of a pigeon’s blood. The allure of these gems is not just in their captivating colour, but also in their natural state. Unheated pigeonblood rubies are particularly prized for their untouched beauty, free from any artificial enhancements or treatments.

A Rarity Among Rare Gems

The rarity of pigeonblood rubies, especially those that are unheated, elevates them to a status beyond ordinary gemstones. Securing a piece of good quality Burmese pigeonblood ruby is a feat for even the most seasoned collectors. Their scarcity is compounded by the stringent mining regulations and limited supply, making each unheated pigeonblood ruby a true treasure.
