Pigeon's Blood Rubies vs. Rubies


Colour

Rubies come in various shades of red, ranging from light pinkish-red to deep crimson. Pigeon's blood rubies are a specific subset known for their intense, vivid red colour with a slight undertone of purplish-blue. This colour is often compared to the hue of fresh pigeon's blood and is considered the most valuable and desirable among rubies.


Origins

Pigeon's blood rubies were primarily sourced from Myanmar (formerly Burma), particularly from the Mogok region, renowned for producing some of the finest rubies in the world. However, rubies of similar colour and quality can also be found in other locations like Mozambique and Madagascar.
