The Timeless Beauty of Burma Ruby

When it comes to rubies, the treasures from Myanmar (formerly Burma) have long been considered the pinnacle of beauty and rarity. Known for their exceptional fluorescence, intense saturation, and vivid red hue. Burma ruby are the ultimate representation of fine rare gemstones. Over the decades, these rubies have remained the most sought-after, coveted by coloured gem jewellers and collectors worldwide.

Burma Ruby: A Legacy of Excellence

Rare Burma ruby owe their mesmerising allure to their unique geological origin. These gems exhibit strong fluorescence under UV light, enhancing their vibrant red colour. This distinct feature, coupled with their exceptional lustre, makes them stand out from rubies mined elsewhere. We occasionally come across a small quantity of ruby rough from other mines that exhibits fluorescence, but such instances are exceedingly rare.

Historically, Myanmar has been the prime source of the world’s finest rubies. The term “Pigeon Blood” is often used to describe their vivid red hue, which is unmatched by rubies from other regions. Unlike African rubies, particularly those from Mozambique, which sometimes exhibit a purplish undertone. Burma ruby possess a purer and deeper red due to their low iron content. This chemical composition not only defines their colour but also adds to their rarity.

Mozambique Ruby: A Strong Competitor

In recent years, Mozambique has emerged as the leading supplier of rubies, offering stones of impressive size and quality. While these ruby dominate the market due to their larger production, they lack the distinctive fluorescence however exhibit a comparable vivid red saturation in Burma ruby. Mozambique’s mines have also made star rubies more accessible, providing gemstone enthusiasts with a broader range of shapes and sizes at relatively affordable prices.

However, the prices of Mozambique ruby have skyrocketed in recent years since covid due to increasing awareness and strong global demand for vivid red gemstones. Further solidifying their position as a significant player in the ruby gemstone market.

Despite this, the supply of fine-quality Burma ruby rough continues to dwindle, driving up demand and prices. International brands compete fiercely for the few available rough stones, making high-quality Burmese ruby increasingly scarce in today’s market.

Factors to Consider Beyond Origin

While the origin of a ruby plays a significant role in its value, it’s essential to consider other factors when selecting a fine gemstone:

  • Colour: Look for a rich, vivid hue Burma red ruby with no brown or overly dark undertones. Most lower quality are in pinkish shade.
  • Carat Weight: Larger stones are rarer and significantly more valuable.
  • Clarity: Fine rubies with minimal inclusions are exceedingly rare, though some inclusions are acceptable and even characteristic of natural stones. Common to see highly opaque clarity which lack transparency and lustre.
  • Cut: A well-cut ruby maximizes its brilliance and enhances its overall beauty.
  • Treatment: Ensure transparency about any enhancements, such as heat treatments. Untreated rubies fetch much higher premium.
  • Certification: Always request documentation from renowned gemological labs like GIA or GRS to confirm the gem’s authenticity and quality.

Why Burmese Ruby Outshine Diamonds

It’s a common misconception that diamonds are the ultimate standard of luxury and value. Especially with lab grown diamond prices and demand for diamond has significant drop. In reality, a fine-quality Burma ruby can command a higher price per carat than many diamonds. Their unparalleled rarity and striking beauty make them a symbol of opulence and exclusivity.
