A RUBY AND DIAMOND RING, BY HARRY WINSTON
Designed as a pavé-set brilliant-cut diamond bombé ring, centering upon a cushion-shaped ruby weighing approximately 5.42 carats, mounted in 18k gold, ring size 5¼, in blue leather Harry Winston case
Signed Winston for Harry Winston
Accompanied by report no. 11070136 dated 18 July 2011 from the Gübelin Gemmological Laboratory stating that the 5.42 carat ruby is of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating; also accompanied by an appendix and note stating that Burma has long been recognised as the locality associated with the most desirable rubies in the world. Within Burma (now Myanmar), the most famed region is the Mogok Valley, or Mogok Stone Tract, in the Katha district, North East of Mandalay. These Mogok-type rubies typically possess a red body colour and red UV-fluorescence. In addition, they may contain tiny amounts of light-scattering rutile silk and a swirl-like growth pattern. It is this combination of features which gives these rubies their characteristic appearance
Also accompanied by report no. GRS2011-092078 dated 27 September 2011 from the Gem Research Swiss Lab stating that the 5.42 carat ruby is of Burma (Myanmar) origin, vivid red colour (GRS type "pigeon's blood), with no indication of thermal treatment
