Here’s a 4+ carat unheated Mogok ruby.
I was prepared to love it but I am unsure. I thought it had a very nice shade of red but then it seemed a bit flat both in a real life and in photos.
I am wondering if it’s because there are too many inclusions. I compared it with the ruby in my profile photo. Mine looks livelier. It’s a fair comparison because both rubies are 4+carats, from Burma and unheated.
Is this ruby too included? I can see lots of pinpoints which I find cute but perhaps there are too many of them?
The first pic in sunlight is nicest.

I just know it probably looks a trillion times crazier in real life if it looks that cool in pictures hehe. Especially in the sun.Here’s a 4+ carat unheated Mogok ruby.

Thank you @Autumn in New England. I appreciate your feedback
Your ruby set with the bow is nicer (that one is especially crazy) but this is really lovely too. Honestly no slouch. I like that it is quite lively compared to say this:
Pink Sapphire to Lead Christie’s Geneva Sale
A 7.19-carat pink sapphire ring will lead an upcoming Christie’s jewelry auction, where it could fetch up to CHF 250,000 ($309,888).
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t kick this pink sapphire out of bed but it’s a tad flat. Unless their lighting is especially bad…….
I did think my Crimson was nicer and was wondering if I was biased. I wonder if the setting — all D diamonds — made the ruby look worse. You know me, I do love crazy spinels and rubies, the wilder the better!
Anyone got orange??? Pretty please so I can claim blue
Squeeeeeeee
Indulge me ladies but we only get one go at this thread so I’m gonna show her off!!!
Not mine but I’ve been looking for a good amethyst cab, preferably freeform or in a sculptural / artistic cut.
These are to train my eyes on what a good amethyst looks like…
Yes, sisters!!! I almost bought another with clear quartz and howlite.
Ooh, I didn’t know that’s about hematite. I wouldn’t have guessed because it looks such a beautiful sheen. Yes, quite inexpensive and I love it anyway. When I wore it over a red dress, the quartz beads looked pink (which is the next colour, hehe).
