Red Dreams: finally scratched my unheated Burmese Ruby itch!

That's just not fair. NOT FAIR!


It is truly amazing aaand I hate you, just a lil' bit.

*edit: With the blue? Now you're just being cruel.

Amen to that! Thank you, and well-said. I appreciate the validation, especially coming from you. My mind is still blown.

I had all but written off the possibility of a gem like this winding up in my hands. Truly didn’t believe that such a beast existed.

I’m stoked!

I am genuinely happy for you!

My perfect ruby is still out there

Your AGL 3/75-80 unheated Mogok ruby doesn't qualify???? That one is a screamer IMO!

It’s great ruby, for sure, but I would like a 2.5/75 LI which will cost 50k+

I can’t spend that kind of money on a 1ct ruby, my wife would not be pleased

Here is a video with the velvet blue. I’m melting…

Aaand I'm dead.

Congratulations, you have killed me.

My ghost will now haunt you.

You're lucky the density of ghosts doesn't allow them to grab and steal things.

Thank you! I’m trying to suspend the pressure in my mind to come up with some sort of epic design suitable for holding this little miracle of nature. No pressure or anything :p

But in all seriously, I’m perfectly content to just stare at it in a ring holder or play with it in tweezers.

I have a whole lot of work to do for my job right now, but it’s frankly hard to do anything other than behold this little carbuncle and savor the awe that comes with it!

You know, I sort of try to avoid living up to any particular bar with regard to ring design. There have been so many jaw-dropping, creative pieces shared here (@LilAlex's dragonfly spinel ring comes to mind). They've enriched my life, that's how much I enjoying seeing them! But I'm afraid they just don't come to me when designing. I guess my aesthetic is rather simple... dare I say unimaginative. The gem tends to do the talking, and everything else is secondary. My point is, if and when you decide to set her, don't psych yourself out. She may be ornate or classic... either way, you have fabulous taste and I trust she'll be spectacular. In the interim, enjoy!!

This is beyond stunning! What beautiful colors! Congrats!

Wowza, you scored!

To me this is the perfect red, true red although I feel it leans cool not warm.
I'd say it's close to venetian red #c80815 (off the top of my head without comparing one next to another)
