Ruby, a historical review

In our 8th Home Gemmology webinar, with the support of CIBJO - The World Jewellery Confederation, we’ll discuss the most famous red gemstone, ruby, in a historical perspective and with a special focus on Mogok in Myanmar, former Burma, as an historical source for fine quality rubies including the 196.1 carat Hixon ruby, currently at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Lavish jewellery, like the Patiala ruby choker by Cartier have been made using this rare gem. A brief walk through ruby nomenclature and along other historical and modern sources of ruby will be made in his talk in simple language for all to understand.
