A Burmese ruby is the epitome of precious
stones jewelry and the best quality are
Burmese rubies.
A ruby is almost always worked into a fine
jewel often together with diamonds since the
diamond produces the “fire”. There is no
strong reflection in a ruby as strong as in
diamonds no matter how the cut and polishing
is done. They are very rare, especially
bigger rubies over approximately 6cm
diameter are very valuable and as a set hard
to find.
A Burmese ruby always comes from Mogok north
of Mandalay in "upper Burma." There the raw
rubies are washed out from the earth since
at least thousand years, the only difference
is today they use electric powered pumps,
after its again the same, the earth and
gravel are visually inspected in if someone
might find one he or she could get instantly
rich.
Most rubies are washed out from the earth
and have a slight blue tint which is rather
normal since a sapphire is actually the same
except just the color. Sometimes these
precious stones come embedded in crystals.
The most
popular use of rubies are ruby rings.
Burmese ruby rings usually
have the red stone as a centerpiece set into gold as base
material and some diamonds around to give
some sparkling. Engagement rings are probably the most
popular type of ruby jewelry these days
other great jewelry are pendants, bracelets, earrings and
more. This precious stones are also used to
create necklace
jewelry, and earrings, as well as items such
es
body
piercing jewelry. there is no
bling bling jewelry.
Many of this precious stones
will end up in
Bangkok and
Chanthaburi, the gem
capital of Thailand and south
east Asia to be resold or manufactured
into jewelry. Over time ruby
has become one of the most popular gemstones
to be used in
jewelry.
Burmese ruby jewelry can also be symbolic, as in
the case of Buddhist people wearing a
jade Buddha
pendant or Christians wearing a crucifix in the form
of jewelry, or, as is the case in many Western
cultures, a
diamond or ruby ring is given to the girl and married people wearing a wedding ring,
what can symbolize love and, of course, at a wedding
ruby jewelry can be
just the right gift.
Diamond and
Burmese rubies are graded by four
characteristics: cut, carat (weight),
clarity, and color. All four of these
properties determine how much a precious
stone is
worth, designer jewelry gain popularity.
Cut - That is the proportion
precious stone
and different forms are cut such as round
and rectangle.
Carat - That's the weight, larger stones cost more per
carat. 5 carats are one gram.)
Clarity - Different ranges from
flawless and down the range, the parameter
are inclusions, if there are no inclusions
at all its probably a synthetic stone.
