Rubies, with their fiery red allure and captivating brilliance, have a fascinating history that spans centuries.

Rubies have long symbolized love, vitality, and courage. Their intense red hue has captivated hearts throughout history, earning them the title of the "gem of passion." Adorned by royalty and nobility, rubies have represented power and desire in various cultures.

Rubies, along with sapphires, belong to the corundum mineral family. While blue corundum is called sapphire, the red variety earns the name ruby. Rubies are exceptionally durable, ranking next to diamonds on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them ideal for jewelry that withstands the test of time.

Burmese rubies, renowned for their exceptional quality and captivating hue, are considered the most desirable and sought-after. These rubies exhibit a rich red color, often referred to as "pigeon's blood."

The "Sunrise Ruby," a remarkable 25.59-carat Burmese ruby, is known for its mesmerizing pinkish-red color and exceptional clarity. Another famous ruby is the "Rosser Reeves Star Ruby," a 138.7-carat gem that exhibits a six-pointed star phenomenon, also known as asterism.
