Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
A drop-shaped pendant made of platinum and gold hangs from a delicate silver chain. It is open-worked, like fine lace, and each part of the visible surface is set with small natural pearls or rose diamonds. A special jewel shines in the center: an untreated, pink-red ruby from Burma weighing around half a carat. Due to their outstanding quality and excellent colour, rubies from Burma are among the most precious gemstones of all and are often more valuable than diamonds of the same size. Their classic location is in the area around Mogok in present-day Myanmar. Rubies from other locations, such as Thailand or Africa, are nowadays almost always heated to improve their color or purity. This is not necessary for rubies from Mogok – their natural color and beauty require no enhancement. This luxurious necklace was created in Sweden around 1915. However, its style, typical of the era, is cosmopolitan: its first owner could have shone with it in all the salons of the major western cities.
