Director's Notes

This ring has been assessed by our in-house gemmologists:

The rubies are most likely to be from the old Burmese mines.

Calibre cut gemstones were worked into special shapes to fit into a specific area. Each gemstone would be fashioned so they sit right next to each other within a channel, with no metal in between visible from above. They would usually be held securely in place with a rubover or millegrain setting – a fine piece of secure metal bordering the stones. Calibré cut gems were usually faceted into small step-cuts or could also be polished to create tallow tops or miniature cabochons.

To produce this technique on an often minute scale required incredibly skillful and precise fashioning.
