A One-in-a-Million Ruby From the Legendary Mines of Mogok

In the Belle Époque, some of the most feminine and exceptional jewels were produced here in the United States. The rise of the Industrial Age and the inherent explosion of great wealth created the demand for jewelry of great taste and style.

This delicate yet powerful lady’s ruby and diamond masterpiece is the perfect example of all aspects of the time.

Centering a 2.19 carat unheated Burma ruby from the famed Mogok mines with exceptional color and purity is the kind of gemstone the most discriminating client demanded, framed in a delicate diamond surround that would have pleased even the most particular client.

There is nothing like a quality piece to me. No less is this ruby a one in a million gem, the ring was created by J.E.Caldwell in Philadelphia of the finest materials and craftsmanship. It stands the test of time in this world of mass marketing.
