Description
Each centring an oval ruby weighing 3.98 and 3.26 carats respectively, framed by tapered baguette diamonds, from surmounts of similar design centring circular-cut rubies, accented by marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, signed Boucheron Paris, numbered, maker’s mark for Jean Bondt, French assay marks for platinum, pouch stamped Boucheron; circa 1960.
Accompanied by SSEF report no. 151603, dated 22 January 2026, stating that the rubies weighing 3.98 and 3.26 carats are of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating, stating ‘Pigeon Blood’ colour, together with an appendix letter.
‘The small inclusions found by microscopic inspection and the analysed properties consistent with those found in rubies from the classical ruby mines in the Mogok Valley in Burma (Myanmar), well known for its wealth in gems and historic times. Their saturated red colour, poetically also referred to as ‘pigeon blood red’, is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements, which are typical and characteristic of the finest rubies from Mogok.’
