A RUBY AND DIAMOND RINGThe oval-shaped ruby weighing approximately 2.20cts, between two old brilliant-cut diamond shoulders, diamonds approximately 1.25cts each, ring size R½Accompanied by a report from GCS laboratory stating that the ruby is of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Report number 5776-6349, dated 19th July 2016Rubies of Burmese origin cannot be imported into the US; this piece contains a ruby of Burmese origin and therefore may not be able to be imported into the US. It is very probable that humans discovered rubies about 3000 BC. The famous Mogok mining area of Burma (now the union of Myanmar) has been so heavily mined for so many thousands of years that evidence is rare. According to the thirteenth-century medical literature from India, rubies were believed to cure digestive disorders. Warriors from Burma inserted rubies under their skin so they would not be wounded in battle. People once believed they could ensure a peaceful life. Wearing ruby, they thought, could bring health, wealth, wisdom and love. People believed that if you wore a ruby in a ring on the left hand or in a brooch on the left side, it would give you a magical ability to live in peace among your enemies. The name Burma is practically synonymous with fine-quality ruby. Political changes led to the renaming of the country as Myanmar, but many people to this date still refer to Burma when they talk about the source of the world’s most prized rubies. The first Burmese mines were located in Mogok, and production fluctuated through much of the post-World War II era. The discovery of a rich deposit in Mong Hsu helped the country get back to the forefront of ruby producers. Still, not all rubies from other places are inferior. The quality of rubies from Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam sometimes rivals Myanmar’s output.
