01 · The Story

From Mogok, a weight that takes a lifetime to assemble.

The Mogok Valley holds a unique position in gem history. Its rubies, known for their fluorescent ‘pigeon’s blood’ tone, are authenticated by both GIA and GUB, the two laboratories most respected for Burmese provenance determinations.

The necklace was the first piece acquired, in 2003. The earrings followed in 2014. The ring was the last stone placed: a GIA-certified 10.26-carat ruby found in a private collection in Yangon. The ICA issued a supplementary evaluation in 2023 confirming the parure’s unity.

A parure of 124 carats of Burmese ruby, certified by GIA, GUB, and ICA, will not be offered again in the ordinary course of the trade.

A note from the house

“124 carats of Burmese ruby, certified and matched: this is not a collection, it is a record. An equal has not been encountered in thirty years.”

03 · From the Workshop

Built around the stone, never the other way.

The 88.51-carat necklace stone determined the mount dimensions for the entire parure. The house workshop spent fourteen weeks constructing the necklace setting alone, with the earrings and ring built to match its scale.
