For the most precious and special woman in your life, it is justifiable to give her the most exceptional gift. And what could be more unique than a heart made of ruby! Estimated at $14 million, the Heart of Kingdom Ruby is touted as one of the most expensive necklace in the world. This beautiful necklace is made by one of the oldest jewelry company in the world, Garrard & Co.
The necklace features a huge 40.63 carat Burmese heart-shaped ruby, surrounded by 155-carats diamonds. This sparkling bequeathal can also be worn as a tiara - a perfect adornment! Rubies are considered to be more precious than diamonds and 90% of the rubies come from Burma. Burmese rubies, though weighing only a few carats, are sought after for their hue and purity. Hence, the Heart of Kingdom Ruby necklace is so prized and rare due to its huge 40.63 carat size. Its intense red blood color makes it more desirable and precious.
Garrard & Co, the company who made this beautiful piece of art, was the Crown Jeweler of the United Kingdom from 1843 to 2007. Founded in 1735, it is the oldest jewelry company of Britain. From the state crown of Queen Victoria to regalia of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation to the trophies for Premier League, Garrard & Co has a rich heritage of opulence and craftsmanship. The Heart of Kingdom Ruby necklace is by far one of the legacies of this company.
