Meanwhile, there are few more small deposits to the north of Mogok, such as Namya, that produce rubies with similar characteristics. Although it is uncertain when mining rst began, accounts indicate that rubies have been sourced in the Mogok area for well over a thousand years. e earliest surviving records of mining activity began in 1597, when the king of Burma took over the mines. Burmese rubies, especially the ones from Mogok, have since sustained the strongest renown. Mogok-type rubies typically possess a red body color and red V- uorescence. In addition, they may contain tiny amounts of light-scattering rutile silk and a swirl-like growth pattern. It is this combination of features which gives these rubies their characteristic appearance. With report no.

26 A MOZAMBIQUE RUBY AND DIAMOND NECKLACE

Natural rubies are extremely rare with a narrow area of deposits known to human. In recent years, ruby mines from various sources are gradually taking their positions on the international stage. Among those upcoming ruby mine sources, Mozambique in the African continent is one attracting the attention of many collectors globally. During the present plateau phase of international art investment market, rubies remain a focus of public attention on the auction market due to its superior chemical and color properties as well as its stable sale results. 27

The Republic of Mozambique is located in southeastern Africa along the Indian Ocean, separated from Madagascar by the Mozambique Channel. The history of corundum mining in Mozambique can be traced back to the colonial period from 1505 to 1975, but no real commercial exploitation had taken place. International partnerships with foreign countries have helped Mozambique ruby deposits mark a new era, where modern technology and infrastructures improve the mothods in mining. Top quality gems are generall produced during the early stages of a new mine. We cannot predict the lifespan of the Mozambique mines. However, one thing we can be sure about is that in the centuries to come, these Mozambique gems will gain an increasingly predominant position in the world gemology map. The founder of GRS Gem Research Swisslab, "Someday in the future, Mozambique rubies will eventually be mined out, as happens with every deposit. At that point, Mozambique rubies will become treasured collector's gems, mostly appearing in couture jewelry and resurfacing in auction houses." Lot 2531 is a pair of oval-shaped unheated Mozambique ruby earrings. They boast astonishing weights of 10.31 and 10.93 carats each. This extraordinary pair of rubies displays a vivid red color and a high degree of transparency, typical characteristics of Mozambique rubies. The African rubies tend to be found in amphiboles, and their iron content falls in between of the iron-rich Thai rubies and the iron-poor Burmese gems. To improve a natural stone s appearance, many of the natural gems are heated before they are offered to the market. Although many unheated smaller gems between two to five carats can be found in abundance, rubies at this large of a size that merely needs simple cutting and polishing to be a top quality gem of excellence is exceptionally rare. Therefore, this pair of Mozambique rubies is extraordinary in weight, color intensity, originality, transparency and compatibility, representing a true rarity in the market today. A stone's natural beauty remains the main driving force for their ultimate popularity. Like the shape of a snowflake and the colors of the rainbow, the vivid red color is a glorious gift of nature. They illustrate the passion of life in the purest of forms, and the reddest of red. The American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote: They brought me rubies from the mine, And held them to the sun; I said, they are drops of frozen wine, From Eden's vats that run. It is a remarkable opportunity for ruby collectors to include such a rare gem of Mother Earth in their very own private collection. 30

Not only is a delicate mineralogical balance essential for this red variety of corundum to be formed deep within the earth, but speci c geological conditions as well as adequate pressure and temperature must also be present. Furthermore, the su cient supply of a rare combination of chemical elements, such as aluminium and chromium, are yet another necessity required for the formation of rubies Over the past decades, various heating techniques, as well as the use of chemical additives, have been introduced to increase the supply of rubies resembling the high-quality untreated specimens. e aim of these treatments was and still is to improve the visual appearance of the gemstones. rior to the advent of modern heating techniques, rough rubies were cut and polished retaining the quality that nature had originally endowned them with. erefore, in earlier times, rubies with obvious imperfections were considered and accepted as the norm. However, the expectations with respect to quality (color and transparency) rose steadily e demand for natural, unheated rubies kept growing while the supply of such gems remains highly limited, making large, natural rubies of gem quality from all ma or sources, such as Burma (Myanmar), Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Ta ikistan, di cult to nd.

Lot 2549 is piece of jadeite carving in the shape of a lovely peapod. It is an exquisite piece of art with the purest green color, the best quality jadeite and elegant and smooth lines. As one of the traditional jadeite carving forms, there is so many underlying auspicious believes. For the 3 peas in the peapod, it is a Chinese metaphor of the three Gods in charge of good fortune, good earnings and longevity. If this piece is given to an elderly person, it can express best wishes for their well-being. Also because of its homophonic pronunciation to a word meaning the bloom of youth, it can also be an analogy for the vigor and vitality of youngsters. A fruitful peapod can mean an abundance of wealth. On the other hand, it can carry agriculture metaphor and mean a success after hard work. So it is also an appropriate gift to wish someone an academic success. Lastly but probably most importantly, the 3 peas metaphor can also extend into having an expanding, happy and prosperous family. The peapod has thus become one the most popular themes for jadeites craftsmen to make. It is a sincere and worthy return to the gift from the nature. The auspicious wishes are to be shared with everyone and handed down through the family generations.

37.45 CARAT BURMESE SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING Blue sapphires signify an elegant temperament of loyalty, faithfulness, love and honesty, as well as supreme power, thus gaining admiration from royal families over the years worldwide. A famous example of this, would be the sapphire engagement ring of Princess Kate and Prince William of Great Britain. The ring had once been the engagement ring of Prince William s parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles, as well; demonstrating its ability to preserve heritage and value. Apart from royal associations, sapphires are frequently used in religious ornaments. It is commonly viewed to have mysterious and supernatural qualities. During the medieval times, Christian ministers often wore rings inlaid with sapphires because the color is reminiscent of the sky and the sea: a symbol of heaven. As early as the ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Greek ages, sapphires were used to decorate churches and monasteries, even as ritual tributes at times. Burma is not only famous for its ruby mines, but also for its sapphire deposits as well. Because of their traces of iron (Fe) and titanium (Ti), Burmese sapphires exude a shade of blue unlike any other sapphire elsewhere. Burmese sapphire deposits are relatively thin, uncommonly rich in color, while given the extreme conditions in which these sapphires are formed, inclusions are iminent. Therefore, a sapphire as clean and large as this lot presented is extremely rare. The royal blue color found in sapphires of Burma origin, is one of the most prestigious colors of all sapphires. Due to the continuous exploitation of the sapphire deposits in these areas, their outputs are becoming increasingly scarce. A piece of gem-quality blue sapphire over 10 carats can be regarded as exceptionally rare on the market today. Moreover, in order to enhance a gemstone s appearance, many undergo a heating process to enhance both the color and the clarity of the gems. Lot 2583 is an astonishingly large unheated Burmese sapphire ring, which has been identified as having royal blue color. The SSEF has especially published a certificate in Chinese, and accompanied it with words of appraisal. The sap phire presented in this lot weighs an astounding 37.45 carats, an remarkable size of 21.24x15.46x9.55mm. The clairty of this stone is excptional, and regarding its size, the intense blue color is evenly distributed. The stone is a step cut with an octagonal shape, presenting a wide and flat table surface. The style of the inlay work is simple yet exquisit. The ring brings out elegance and classical extravagance in its purest form. All eyes that come across it will be amazed by its magnificence. 80

Not only is a delicate mineralogical balance essential for this blue variety of corundum to be formed deep within the earth, but speci c geological conditions as well as adequate pressure and temperature must also be present. Furthermore, the su cient supply of a rare combination of chemical elements such as aluminium, iron and titanium, are yet another necessity required for the formation of sapphires Over the past decades, various heating techniques, as well as the use of chemical additives, have become increasingly sophisticated to raise the supply of sapphires resembling the high-quality untreated specimens. e aim of these treatments was and still is to improve the visual appearance of the gemstones. Prior to the advent of modern heating techniques, rough sapphires were cut and polished retaining the quality that nature had originally endowned them with. erefore, in earlier times, sapphires with obvious imperfections were considered and accepted as the norm. However, the expectations with respect to quality (color and transparency) rose steadily ever since e demand for natural, unheated sapphires keeps growing while the supply of such gems remains limited, making large, natural sapphires of gemquality from all major sources (such as Kashmir, Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Tanzania) di cult to nd HKD 12,000,000-18,000,000 USD 1,538,500-2,307,700 87

Natural Pearls are formed in the wild, without any human intervention of any kind. They are composed entirely of nacre which is a combination of aragonite or calcite with an organic binder called conchiolin. The larger the Pearl, the more layers of nacre has been added, this process of nacre building takes years. Pearls are so rare they are literally one in a million, only one in 10,000 wild oysters will produce a natural saltwater pearl and of those pearls, only a tenth will produce a pearl of gem quality. Throughout history, natural pearl, with its warm inner glow and shimmering iridescence, has been one of the most highly prized and sought-after gems. Countless references to the pearl can be found in the religions and mythology of cultures from the earliest times. In ancient Rome, pearls were considered the ultimate symbol of wealth and social standing. The Greeks held the pearl in high esteem for both its unrivaled beauty and its association with love and marriage. They have been treasured by royal and imperial families around the globe, to the extent that after 1530, many European countries began making pearl legislations requiring people to wear pearls according to their social status. Before the 18th century, pearls are favorite accessories of royal families and dignitaries as they represented wealth and status. One big admirer of pearls would be Queen Elizabeth I of England. In the National Portrait Gallery in London, there is a portrait of her wearing a pearl-covered dress, with a pearl belt, and the look is completed with a golden necklace inlaid with huge pearls. In the same gallery, one will also come across a portrait of King Henry VIII of England with hat and necklace both decorated by pearls.

La Rose Brulèe Love is chemistry. If it doesn t burn, what kind of love it is? Paola Brussino, is a female jewelry designer from Italy. In her career as a designer, she strives to change perceptions and rediscover the beauty of gemstones. Brussino tends to incorporate unique materials uncommonly used by other designers, such as using carbon, titanium, zirconium and corian. Brussino dedicates herself to research work that is based on long years of collaboration with renowned brands of high quality jewelry. These jewelry designs are the fruit of her passion for art and years of research, alongside a combination of exquisite handcraft techniques with a hint of poetic elements. The ideas and designs of each piece are a result of a fascination intrigued by endless possibilities. She continues to explore new and different techniques of manufacture, using unconventional materials in her designs. As a result, her work show us pieces that are elegant, simple, natural, and light, with a dash of amazement. Sometimes extraordinary qualities of a piece come to life randomly out of surprise after long hours of working on a piece. There is an alchemical pleasure in transforming a cold and impersonal material such as titanium and turning it into something warm, intimate and romantic like a rose. To create the paradox of the gentle folds of a flower with hard metallic materials require great difficulty. Furthermore, the process of anodization and oxidation is necessary to create that shimmering effect on the pink petals of titanium. Lastly, diamonds are hemmed alongside the rim of the petals, as if the flower has been burned by the light. 102

His idiosyncratic style pays tribute to his greatest inspiration, nature, which continues to influence his displays of bravura. This world famous designer was born in Rome and started his jewelry path at the age of sixteen. In 1976, he worked for a year at Fürst Jewelers in Via Veneto, Rome, which was then the representative of Harry Winston. In 1978, Della Valle opened his own workshop in Rome s Piazza di Spagna and began travelling regularly to Asia in search of precious stones.

Della Valle is celebrated for his great appreciation and application of color, and it is this above all else that is most admired in his work.

Collection of Elizabeth Taylor

This fine set of jewelry is a collection of precious materials including gold, white gold, diamonds, emerald, and rubies. Since its creation, it is destined to be extraordinary. It was originally designed by Baron Ricky di Portanova. He created the monkey necklace set, complete with golden bananas, as a surprise gift to his baroness, Sandra di Portanova. But this monkey jewelry set s next owner is who made it so famous. When the di Portanova jewels were sold after their deaths at auction in 2000, this jewelry set ended up in the hand of Michael Jackson, who later presented it as a gift to his dearest friend Elizabeth Taylor. The life long legendary friendship had been over 20 years. "I've met a lot of people in my life, and very few are real, real friends," Jackson said in a 1993 home video. "I can probably count them on one hand. Elizabeth is one of the most loving, loyal, caring people that I know." "Then we met, and spent more and more time with each other, and just became really good friends. Told each other everything," Taylor said in 2006. She also referred to their friendship as "the purest, most giving love I've ever known I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other." Elizabeth Taylor is also very well known for her magnificent jewelry collection. She has an expert eye for craftsmanship, rarity, and quality in all of the items she chose. My mother says I didn t open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was her engagement ring. I was hooked! Since then Dame Elizabeth has acquired one of the greatest private collections of jewelry in the world, with pieces by such leading jewelers as Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, and many more. At the beginning of the Chinese lunar year of the monkey, we hope this set of very rare and special jewelry will bring you eternal friendship and the best stories to tell in life. 109

Wallace Chan Wallace Chan is recognized today not only as the jewelry creator, but also an artist and a philosopher. He founded his own gemstone-carving workshop in 1974, when he was 17. Later in his career, he spent 8 years to experiment with titanium, the most bio-friendly metal known to date. He surprised Basel world 2007 with a series of jewelry creations featuring ethereal titanium structures, the technical secrets of which he later unveiled to the world. Chan was the first Chinese jewelry artist ever invited to exhibit and deliver speeches at the GIA headquarter. In 2012 and 2014, he emerged at the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris as the first and only Asian artist ever invited to exhibit at this fair. In 2015, Wallace Chan had his solo exhibition at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, collaborated with Christie s. In 2016, Wallace Chan became the first Chinese jewelry artist to be invited to showcase his works in the renowned European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF), Maastricht. His works are also scheduled to be shown at Masterpiece, London this summer. We present to you lot 2594 designed by Wallace Chan. This yellow diamond ring has magical use of color and material. When it is viewed from the front, the contrasting color property of yellow and purple has been used to maximize the masterpiece visual impact. Set with a very warm and lively 5.00 carat fancy vivid yellow diamond, of the best color saturation on top of a beautifully and meticulously carved amethyst. The transparency of the amethyst allowed the scintillation of the pave-set diamonds beneath cleverly shine through. Further complimentarily set on both sides by two smaller fancy vivid yellow diamonds weighing 1.04 and 1.20 carats each. The body of the ring is made from titanium. It has many practical qualities other traditional materials such as good hardness and lightweight. But because of its hardness, it is very difficult to work on and only someone like Wallace who has a profound knowledge of metallurgy and gemology can achieves it! One will needs to take time and admiration in enjoying the meticulous relief sculptural work on the shank of the ring. This somewhat whimsical and magical ring design boasts creativity, design and technique. It is a typical style of Wallace Chan jewelry as art. I wanted to transform my dreams into beautiful feather-like jewels which captured the light and told their stories. They carry the message of the past to become the heritage of the future.

CARTIER The name Cartier is synonymous with beautiful objects of quality and style. It was founded in Paris in1847 by Louis-Francois Cartier. The firm known as Cartier quickly became recognized for its exemplary workmanship and taste. Throughout the First World War Cartier continued to produce inventive and original designs. Cartier introduced many innovations into the jewelry market. Primarily known for their work with diamonds, the firm designed lavish pieces, often incorporating other stones in new and unusual settings for contrast and color. Sylvie Raulet writes about the atmosphere in Paris after WWI in Art Deco Jewelry (Rizzoli): After the First World War, all the arts participated in an unprecedented cultural revolution. The Golden Twenties witnessed an exceptional alliance of taste, talent and money. The Cartier firm reached dizzying heights of Art Deco splendor. Louis Cartier s fascination with exotic motifs led to the creation of diamond, ruby and platinum. Ever since then, Cartier has been using gem quality rubies for their extraordinary pieces. The prefect example was with the sunrise ruby ring, a 25.6 carat Burmese ruby mounted by Cartier, which was sold for US$30,335,698 at the Geneva auction, it is the most expensive colored gemstone and the most expensive gemstone other than a diamond that was sold in the public market, this sales record perfectly proven the quote from Jean-Baptiste Tavernier in 1676: When a ruby exceeds five carats, and is perfect, it is sold for whatever price is asked for it Named from the Latin word for its hue, rubens, meaning red. The gemstone ruby boasts exceptional beautiful color, and has come to represent the values of desire, passion and power. For centuries, the ruby has been regarded as one of the most valuable gemstones. The source of the world s finest rubies is Burma, whose pure-red rubies are regarded as precious treasure. For more than 800 years, the Mogok Stone Tract in Upper Burma has remained the classical source for the finest quality rubies. For rubies that have not undergone any thermal enhancement and are over 5 carats, they represent tremendous value, not to mention rubies over 10 carats. Their rarity is largely due to the fact that famous Mogok mines are yielding fewer and fewer stones of an important size.

They have been selected to appear on the cover of Living Jewels Materpieces from Nature by Ruth Peltason. There was a time when the well-attired woman wore dress clips. She d pin them to her dress or cardigan (imagine how these Tiffany clips would light up a black sheath or a winter white cashmere cardigan), clip them to a neck ribbon, to matching suit pockets, use them to jazz up a beret, or to swag or to cinch the strap on her evening gown. Their heyday was circa the 1930s through the 1950s, though some were worn into the early 1960s, this coral pair by Tiffany is remarkable for its rarity. 141

Fulco Di Verdura Fulco Santostefano, Duke of Verdura was born in 1898 into an aristocratic family in Palemo, Italy. Most of his youth was spent in Sicily, and later in Venice, leading a pampered life amid generations old splendor. In 1929 Verdura received an invitation from Chanel, which he readily accepted to design textiles for her in her Paris workshop. His real talent revealed itself when he redesigned Chanel s jewelry line. For Chanel Verdura created both costume and precious jewelry, his most notable creation was the Maltese Cross bracelet. As with much of his jewelry, the piece was meant to accent current fashions, but it also make subtle references to historical sources. In 1939, Cole Porter helped Verdura to set up his own exclusive store at 712 Fifth Avenue, a location that Cartier had inhabited 30 years earlier. In the two decades that followed, his success continued to grow. In 1954, Verdura opened a second location in Paris near the Place Vendome. The 1940 s and 50 s were Verdura s heyday. During this period he created his most celebrated designs, including voluminous bow and know motif pieces, puffed heart brooches, gemstones wrapped delicately in gold and massive colored stone parures. Some of Verdura s more unusual pieces during the 1950 s had maritime themes because of his great love for the sea. These include seashells and seahorses with precious stones. The glamorous jewelry gradually came back into fashion and was worn such celebrities as Oprah, Princess Diana, just to name a few. The Italian Duke, who has a street named after him in Palermo, would probably be very pleased with the use being made of the great Verdura legacy. 142

Oscar Heyman & Brothers One of the American Master Jeweler Oscar Heyman & Brothers Inc, is world renowned for their top quality materials, design and craftsmanship. Their floral brooches are the design house s most iconic creations. A collection of these won gold medals at New York s World Fair in 1949. Brothers Oscar and Nathan Heyman were sent off to be an apprentice from their hometown Latvia to Ukraine at the age of 13 and 16 years old. It was a five years of hardship working and training in their uncle s workshop, who produced materpieces for the Faberge workshops. They were skilled in working in platinum, a relatively new metal at the time. The two boys arrived in New York in 1906. Rumor as is, Oscar was the first non-french jeweller to work for Cartier. He brought with him the meticulous expertise required to produce the Russian Style jewelry, particularly the Garland style jewelry that was so fashionable, and closely ties Cartier and Faberge at the beginning of the 20th century. By 1912, the brothers established Oscar Heyman & Bros. in New York. The family took pride in their work, and managed a self-contained system of manufacturing high quality jewelry, right down to making their own tools. The design house is better known within the industry than it is to the public due to its history as a jeweler s jeweler. They earned this designation because they made pieces for the famous retail jewelry firms, like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels (who were their major accounts), Tiffany & Co., Black, Starr & Frost, Neiman Marcus and many others. For those in trade, the name Oscar Heyman & Bros. is synonymous with any of the famous jewelry houses, there is always added value for any piece signed OHB. Their most famous work in 1969, Oscar Heyman was commissioned by Cartier to create the exquisite setting for the 69.42 carat Taylor-Burton diamond. The design was a v-shaped necklace composed of 53 graduated pear-shaped diamonds. Experts will say that any piece that comes from Oscar Heyman s workshop will no doubt be better crafted than it needs to be. They were credited with being the first American jewelry company to master the invisible setting, which was introduced to the US by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1936. They continued to make all the invisiblyset jewels in the US for Van Cleef & Arpels until the Arpels family sold the company to Compagnie Financiere Richemont S.A in 1999. Today, OHB continues to make magnificient invisbly-set jewels for other fine jewelry houses. Today, Oscar Heyman produces jewelry under its own name. A wonderful example of linking the past and the present are their famous flower brooches. Most of the mounting is three dimensional with curling leaves and unruly stems. Lot xxxx is a cushion-shaped 16.70 carats natural unheated yellow sapphire and diamond ring, beautifully display one of the workmanship of the iconic pieces described. As Tom Heyman the third generation of Heymans so simply states their philosophy: We want to create jewelry the grandchildren fight over to keep, not pieces that heirs fight over to sell. That s an update version of Mr. Oscar Heyman s Jewelry should never be a candidate for redesign but should transcend time like a fine painting, never losing its appeal. 144

A PAIR OF 5.60 AND 6.01 CARATS BURMESE PIGEON S BLOOD RUBY AND DIAMOND EAR PENDANTS Red ruby is only second to diamond on the hardness scale. Maybe this is one of reasons why legends always associate it with life, blood, power, protection, love and passion. These mythical stories are passed on through thousands of years of history across race and region, making red rubies king of gems. Everyone loves red rubies. For oriental cultures, the color red is a symbol of good luck and blessings. In Burma, where the most sought-after red rubies are produced, in ancient times soldiers would follow a tradition of implant a piece of ruby in their bodies before going for a battle, in the hope of victory. In the capital city of Burma, Yangon, the top of Shwedagon Pagoda is decorated with 2317 pieces of rubies to symbolize nobility, love and glory. In European royal weddings, red ruby still appears regularly as the witness of a noble marriage. Natural ruby is mostly produced in Asian countries such as Burma, Thailand and Sri Lanka, while Africa and Australia have also found ruby deposits. Color is the most significant factor affecting a ruby s value. The finest ruby has a pure, vibrant red to slightly purplish red color. Among all ruby deposits, Burmese ruby produced in Mogok area has become synonymous with the best quality of all. It is most famous for pigeon blood rubies a term used to describe the highest red color saturation. Its mesmerizing red color is partly due to the presence of trace chromium element. Typical ruby include thin mineral inclusions called needles. When the mineral is rutile and needles are present in intersecting groups, it is called silk. Some inclusions can contribute positively to a gem s appearance. Because the presence of rutile silk causes light to scatter across facets and this adds softness to the color and spreads the color more evenly across the ruby s crown. After thousands of years of ruby mining, with the advantage of modern technology, most rubies on the market have undergone heat treatment in order to resemble the glamorous beauty of Burmese rubies. Nowadays, to find an unheated gem quality ruby over 5 carats is very rare, and it is one of the most popular gemstones in the investment market. We are thus very proud to present lot 2628 in this auction. It is a pair of unheated pigeon s blood Burmese ruby. They are 5.6 carats and 6.01 carats each and show very good fire and transparency. It also takes good time and luck to find 2 rubies with such good compatibility. The designer of this pair of earrings very generously accompanied these rubies with a total of 29.36 carats grade D colorless diamonds. Almost all of these diamonds achieve VS2 on clarity scale. It is also designed to be incredibly minimal yet classic, bringing put the most magnificent of characteristics of the ruby gemstones. 159

2628 With report no. 78990 dated 11 March 2015 from the SSEF stating that the 5.60 and 6.01 carats rubies are both of Burma origin, with no indications of heating;with report nos. 15025133 and 15025134 dated 15 February 2015 from the Gubelin stating that both 5.60 and 6.01 carats ruby are of Burma origin, with no indications of heating; Accompanied by two information sheets stating that Burma has long been recognised as the locality associated with the most desirable rubies in the world. Within Burma (Myanmar), the most famed region is the Mogok Valley, or Mogok Stone Tract, in the Pyin Oo Lwin district, North East of Mandalay: a small area of a few dozen square miles, of which only a portion is gem-bearing. Meanwhile, there are few more small deposits to the north of Mogok, such as Namya, that produce rubies with similar characteristics. Although it is uncertain when mining rst began, accounts indicate that rubies have been sourced in the Mogok area for well over a thousand years. e earliest surviving records of mining activity began in 1957, when the King of Burma took over the mines. Burmese rubies, especially the ones from Mogok, have since sustained the strongest renown. Mogok-type rubies typically possess a red body color and red V- uorescence. In addition, they may contain tiny amounts of light-scaterring rutile silk and a swirllike growth pattern. It is this combination of features which gives these rubies their characteristic appearance.

2653 2653 A 16.70 CARAT SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING 1 / 4 Accompanied by report no. 14070154 dated 31 July 2014 from the Gubelin stating that the 16.70 carat sapphire has no indications of heating Also accompanied by an information sheet stating that large sapphires of gem-quality are rarely found in nature. Not only is a delicate mineralogical balance essential for this blue variety of corundum to be formed deep within the earth, but speci c geological conditions as well as adequate pressure and temperature must also be present. Furthermore, the su cient supply of a rare combination of chemical elements, such as aluminium, iron and titatium, are yet another necessity required for the formation of sapphires. Over the past decades, various heating techniques, as well as the use of chemical additives, have become increasingly sophisticated to raise the supply of sapphires resembling the high-quality untreated specimens. e aim of these treatments was and still is to improve the visual appearance of the gemstones. Prior to the advent of modern heating techniques, rough sapphires were cut and polished retaining the quality that nature had originally endowed them with. erefore, in earlier times, sapphires with obvious imperfections were considered and accepted as the norm. However, the expectations with respect to quality (colour and transparency) rose steadily ever since. e demand for natural, unheated sapphires kept growing while the supply of such gems remains limited, making large, natural sapphires of gem-quality from all major sources, such as Kashmir, Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania, di cult to nd. e sapphire described in the above mentioned Report possesses a combination of gemmological characteristics which does not permit a su ciently secure identi cation of origin.conclusions regarding origin are drawn based on comparisons with the internal characteristics, as well as physical and chemical properties recorded for reference stones of known identity, the results of continuing research led by the Gubelin Gem Lab, and gemmoligical knowledge published to date. Gemstones from di erent geological sources may reveal a tell-tale combination of characteristic inclusion patterns, absorption spectra and trace-element compositions that allows for the determination of their origin. However, the combination of date may not, in all instances, provide the necessary basis for an origin determination. When such a case arises, the Gubelin Gem Lab does not commet as to the origin of the gemstone.

There has been even discoveries of a large Emerald mine named after her in ancient Egypt. In Ming dynasty, emperors regarded it as precious as Chrysoberyl cat s eye gems, and they formed essential part of the crown jewels. The green color of Emerald comes from trace amounts of chromium elements. During the extreme complex and violent processes of geological formations, rare crystallization processes of otherwise unrelated earthly elements occur. Due to this complexity of Emerald s forming condition and process, it is very rare for emerald to appear as large and clear formations. They tend to have numerous inclusions and fissures, which are romantically described as Jardin (French for Garden ).

In May 2014, this particular diamond had the pleasure of being invited to exhibit in the GIA exhibit The Beauty of Science: Gems & Gemology Celebrates 80 Years at GIA s headquarters in Carlsbad California. In the letter from GIA Museum curator Terri Ottaway, he says: The ring was much appreciated by the thousands of people who viewed the exhibit, many of whom had never seen such a large diamond. They were very dazzled, to say the least! This diamond ring is a masterpiece by American jeweler Scarselli. In twentieth century Italy, the Scarselli family hand selected diamonds for their extraordinary rings, necklaces and accessories. Their reputation as diamond experts grew and Scarselli flourished in Italy and throughout Europe. In 1955 Scarcelli was introduced to America. For the last half century, the second and third generations of Scarsellis have been producing and selling some of the world s highest quality yellow, blue and pink diamonds available on the market. They are now known around the globe as masters in the art of colored diamonds. The formation of a diamond s illuminating brightness takes pressure, fire, violence and the slightest pinch of chance. When carbon atoms are substituted by nitrogen atoms, the diamond absorbs blue and purple lights and appear yellow. The different tones of yellow can range widely. The yellow color is like an early summer s sunrise, unleashing unparalleled radiance of joy. Yellow diamonds account for only 0.1% of all natural diamonds. For all those classified as a yellow diamond, according to the GIA's statistics, only less than 5% will achieve the highest color grade of being fancy vivid yellow. We are very proud to present Lot 2662 in this auction. The diamond on the ring has been rated by GIA as fancy vivid yellow. The carat weight for this diamond is a astounding 27.51. Its clarity is rated at VVS1, while boasting a good symmetry and finish. Hold the ring in front and by slowly turning it, one can take time and appreciate its quality in terms of optical performance. This diamond shows amazing brilliance and fire by reflecting and refracting the surrounding panorama of light to the viewer s eye in a mosaic and artistic composition, possessing both vibrancy and vitality. 200

Blue diamonds are among the rarest colored diamonds existing in the world today. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History estimates that only 1 in 200,000 diamonds discovered has any hint of blue at all. It is the unusual formation from billions years of geological coincidences and structural composition that makes the blue diamonds rare and unique. Blue diamonds are more rare than the pinks. There is a saying that 1 natural blue diamond comes in the auction market for every 100 Picasso paintings. Blue diamonds have such a unique color that cannot describe in worlds but only drown in it. It is the color of the sea and sky, and is often associated with the concept of truth, wisdom and sincerity. Almost all the blue diamonds fall into the rarest Type II category, structurally the purest of all diamonds. Free from the more common nitrogen impurities within the crystal lattice found in Type I diamonds. Type IIa diamonds contain almost no impurities at all, while Type IIb diamonds, trace qualities of the element boron exist. It is this existence of boron atoms within the carbon crystal structure that gives these diamonds unusual semiconducting properties, the rare blue color. Lot 2663 is a 3.80 carats fancy vivid blue diamond ring, a rare and exclusive beauty that carries a pure blue hue. For various reasons, most natural blue diamonds exhibit a gray color modifier. However, the effect of a secondary color is non-existent in this case, which adds to its rarity. Only a diamond has this richness and depth of its evenly-distributed inherent blue body color, and hue that is a beautiful balance of tone and saturation, can then qualify for the Fancy Vivid color grading from the GIA. The diamond is important not only because it is a rare collector's specimen, but also it is a good wearable size. It is so captivating that it will light up your every day with its dazzling and brilliant sparkles. The breathtaking beauty at your fingertip is guaranteed to make every treasured moment count. 207

Fancy color diamonds are a class that demonstrates many unique characteristics that other assets do not. They are durable, easy to conceal, transportable, and not subject to cartel control. There is no shelf life, they never lose their luster or shine and will look as good as new 100 years from the time they are originally polished. They have well established valuation methods, and can be appreciated and utilized on a daily basis. Blue, the color of nobility, is amongst the rarest and most expensive of fancy color diamonds. The price per carat for fancy vivid blue diamonds has significantly increased over the past 10 years, over the past few years, fancy vivid blue color diamond have broken more and more records at different auction houses, with regards to price paid, they have proven time and time again their dominating strength as excellent alternative investments. The graph below shows the price increase in Fancy Vivid Blue diamonds of sizes between 3ct-5ct in auctions between the years 2007-2014 208

A fancy color diamond is affected by a combination of so many factors, including: Color: colored diamonds are among the most coveted in the gem and jewelry industry and are often referred as the ultimate gem. In grading colored diamonds, the measure of the C representing color far surpasses other C s importance. The GIA system for color grading colored diamonds was intricately designed with the knowledge that different hues occur at varying depths of color. Carat Weight: The carat is the standard unit of weight for diamonds, as well as most other gemstones. One metric in two-tenths (0.2) of a gram, just over seven thousandths (0.007) of an ounce; one ounce contains almost 142 carats. In today s industry, the weight of a diamond is measured with exactitude on electronic scales weighing precisely to the ten-thousandth of carat. Clarity: Few objects in nature are prefect. Most diamonds possess internal or surface-reaching features, called inclusions, and surface irregularities called blemishes. While flawless diamonds do exist, it is possible to work a lifetime in the gem industry without ever witnessing one. Cut: The fashioning of a colored diamond s rough into a gleaming gem is entrusted to only the most skilled cutters in the trade, as cut can influence the color appearance, and ultimately, its overall value. While many might consider a diamond s cut to be its shape (such as round, oval, pear, or marquise), as a value factor, cut also refers to a diamond s proportions, symmetry and polish. 209

Type II diamonds contain little if any nitrogen and they are subdivided into two groups (IIa and IIb) both of which are quite rare (reportedly less than 2% of all gem diamonds fall into the type II category) According to the records of the GIA Laboratory, the 3.80 carat round cornered rectangular modi ed brilliant diamond described in GIA Colored Diamond Grading Report 1152767423 has been determined to be a type IIb diamond. Type IIb diamonds are very rare in nature (from our experience, less than one half of one percent) and contain small amount of boron that can give rise to a blue or gray coloration. An unusual property of type IIb diamonds is that they are semi-conductors and conduct electricity. Historically, the ancient mines of India produced occasional blue diamonds but today the most signi cant source is limited to the Cullinan (formerly Premier) Mine in South Africa.Among famous gem diamonds, the 70.21 carat Idol s Eye and the 45.52 carat Hope are examples of type IIb HKD 48,000,000-66,000,000 USD 6,153,900-8,461,500 212

Presumably deriving from the French word pierre de le ejade or from the Spanish conquistadors expression piedra de hijade, the term Jade actually encompasses two di erent minerals; Nephrite and Jadeite. e history of jade covers a period of time dateing back over 4000 years and a geographical area spreading over 4 continents: North America, South America, Asia and Australia. However, the most well known story this exquisite stone tells is buried deep within the history of China. ere, jade has always been valued more highly than any other precious stone, and was treasured as the royal gemstone call the Yu. It was believed that the gem possessed many virtues such as healing powers, good luck, prosperity, longevity, happiness and love. Jade is o en carved into characters and symbols endowing the piece and its bearer with the according symbolic powers. e Chinese became exceptionally skilled in jade carvings and specialists in jade jewellery; their expertise has to date not been overtaken by any other culture. e colour contrasts in which jadeite is found range through a variety of greens, mauve, yellows, white and black. However, the most sought a er colour is a deep, emerald green colour referred to as imperial green which is found nearly exclusively in the jadeite-jade deposits of Myanmar (Burma). nlike the usual sparkle of a cut gemstone, jade has a distinct glowing e ect, caused by the gem s translucency. e light is caught within the stone and re ected back in an even manner. e colour, size and translucency are striking in the impressive jadeite described in the above mentioned Gubelin Gem Lab report. e described jadeite displays a richly saturated and evenly distributed imperial green colour, combined with the size and a high degree of translucency, making it a piece of outstanding beauty and importance. 241
