Red "Pidgeon Blood" Ruby 1.42 CT | Oval Cut Burma, Myanmar
This Burmese ruby weighs 1.42 carats and glows with the prized Pigeon Blood shade that collectors seek. The oval cut is balanced and lively, with crisp kite and triangular facets that throw bright flashes across a richly saturated red body. You will notice a velvety inner glow caused by fine silk and chromium sparkle, giving the gem depth without muting its brilliance. The table is clean, symmetry is confident, and the girdle presents evenly around the outline. Under changing light the color holds strong, shifting only slightly toward a romantic pinkish red while remaining vivid and commanding. Polishing is excellent, so reflections are sharp and the stone faces up larger than its weight suggests, making it a persuasive centerpiece for an heirloom ring or pendant.
From the storied mines of Burma in modern Myanmar, rubies of this caliber trace a lineage to the Mogok region, famous for stones that seem lit from within. Ruby is corundum with the chemical formula aluminum oxide colored by chromium. This trace element also produces a strong red fluorescence in daylight that contributes to the iconic glow. With a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, durability is assured for daily wear. In our Vault this piece sits in the collector tier for fine Burmese material, offering excellent long term value for buyers who prize color purity, classic origin, and refined cutting.
