An absolutely magnificent, absolutely superb quality unheated, untreated ruby set in this stunning platinum setting from the famed but now depleted gem mines of Chantaburi in Thailand weighing 5.30ct. Gorgeous shade of deeply saturated red, akin to the sought after ‘pigeon’s blood’ hue of yore, absolutely beautiful! The stone is absolutely eye clean table up and almost but not quite loupe clean as well - there is some ‘silk’ and minuscule inclusions indeed within the stone, but overall clarity is truly exceptional for the genre - unheated ruby from any origin will inevitably have multiple inclusions but this one is *extremely* clean indeed. Lustre and brilliance are *excellent* despite the strong colour saturation in the stone. We have used a sophisticated macro lens for these pics which will always tend to exaggerate any inclusions.
