Common questions about rubies
What is “pigeon’s blood” ruby?
A specific color saturation in Burmese rubies — vivid red with a slight bluish-purple undertone, eye-clean. The term is reserved for the highest-quality Burmese stones, typically from Mogok, and must be certified by a major lab to use the designation.
Are heated rubies acceptable for fine jewelry?
Yes — heat treatment is standard industry practice and disclosed on certificates. It improves color and clarity stability. Unheated stones are rarer and command a significant premium.
Do you source Mozambique rubies?
Yes — Mozambique (Montepuez) makes up a large share of fine ruby supply today. Eye-clean, vividly colored stones are available across price points; we can source matched pairs and suites on request.
Can you provide origin certification?
For stones above approximately 1 ct, origin certification from GIA, AGL, GRS or SSEF is available on request.
