The story
These contemporary earrings feature a beautifully matched pair of natural Burmese rubies weighing 7.76 carats in total, individually weighing 3.74 and 4.02 carats. Each ruby is surrounded by a substantial arrangement of round brilliant-cut diamonds, approximately 7.50 carats combined, forming softly scalloped oval clusters that follow the proportions of the central stones. The diamonds are set closely together, creating an almost continuous field of light around the deep crimson rubies.
The composition draws upon the traditional language of important ruby and diamond jewelry, where the richness of a colored gemstone is heightened by the clarity and brilliance of its surrounding diamonds. Here, the generous scale of the clusters and the careful graduation of the diamond settings give the earrings a full, luminous presence without compromising the prominence of the rubies. The platinum mounting provides a discreet foundation, allowing the contrast between red and white to remain the defining feature.
Accompanied by American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) Prestige Gemstone Report No. 1087146 A & B, dated September 22, 2017, the rubies are identified as natural corundum of Burmese (Myanmar) origin, specifically the Mogok region. The report records evidence of heat treatment with minor clarity enhancement from healing residues within fissures. Their documented Burmese provenance is particularly significant, as the historic Mogok region has long been associated with some of the world's most admired ruby deposits.
Weighing 20 grams in total, the earrings possess the substantial character of an important colored gemstone jewel. Their balanced oval silhouettes and closely arranged diamonds create a harmonious frame for the two rubies, allowing their individual depths of color to emerge with remarkable intensity.
