Gemologist’s Note
This ruby carries the trade's highest marks all at once: Burmese, unheated, and certified "pigeon's blood" by GRS — the three attributes that define a top ruby, confirmed on a single report. What sets this one apart even among its peers is clarity. It is eye-clean, with no inclusions visible to the naked eye, and GRS confirms no heat with FTIR testing — meaning the transparency you see is entirely the stone's own, not the work of treatment or filler. The color is a vivid, pure red with the signature glow of pigeon's blood — bright and flashing rather than dark, brought to life by expert mixed brilliant-and-step cutting that returns light evenly across the whole face. At 1.14 carats it is a small stone doing everything a great ruby should: rich color, lively light, and clean, open transparency. Fine unheated Burmese rubies are among the most concentrated stores of value in the gem world. An eye-clean example in true pigeon's blood color is exactly the kind of stone that holds its worth and quietly appreciates — the version collectors wait for.
