I came across this amazing, extremely scarce Burmese ruby at
Sotheby`s auction house in
London`s Bond Street. Amid high security that included handbag scan and body
scan, and furnished nicely with a Bellini, I checked out several pieces from Cartier.
The ruby (see the ring, not a bracelet in the above photo) – the main attraction of the exhibition - weighs
25.59 carats and possesses uniquely deep colour – the rarest `pigeon`s blood` hue.
It is named the Sunrise Ruby, referencing a beautiful poem of the same title, written
by the Sufi poet Rumi.
Sotheby`s - one of the world's largest brokers of fine
and decorative art, jewellery, real estate, and collectibles - organise regular exhibitions of beautiful
jewellery, and other items that are planned for sale either in London or in other
locations.
The estimate for the ruby is $12-18 million.
