These stones are more than beautiful\u2014they have been symbols of power, identity and craft. Here are five notable pieces, each with its story, that highlight why ruby and sapphire remain central in the world of coloured gemstones.<\/p><p>1. Star of Bombay (182 carats, Sri Lanka) \u2013 Violet-blue star sapphire<br \/>This extraordinary star sapphire originates in Sri Lanka and weighs 182 carats. It once belonged to the actress Mary Pickford and now resides in the Smithsonian Institution. Its size, colour and star-effect make it a landmark example of the gem-luxury heritage.<\/p><p>2. Star of Asia (330 carats) \u2013 Blue star sapphire<br \/>Hailing from Sri Lanka, this 330-carat cabochon star sapphire is one of the largest of its kind. It entered the U.S. market in the mid-20th century and underscores the global appeal of Ceylon-origin sapphires.<\/p><p>3. Rosser Reeves Ruby (138.7 carats) \u2013 Star ruby from Sri Lanka<br \/>This star ruby from Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is notable for its exceptional size and quality. While not set in a mainstream commercial piece, it is part of the Smithsonian collection and an example of how rubies of historic significance draw both gem-enthusiasts and institutional interest.<\/p><p>4. Estrela de Fura (55.22 carats) \u2013 Vivid red ruby<br \/>More recent but no less important, the Estrela de Fura ruby sold at auction in 2023 for USD 34.8 million, setting a new record. Its vivid \u201cpigeon-blood\u201d red colour and rarity underscore how the finest rubies are now investment-level treasures.<\/p><p>5. Sunrise Ruby (25.59 carats) \u2013 Burmese ruby<br \/>Although not detailed above in full historic text, the Sunrise Ruby is often cited among the most expensive rubies ever sold and exemplifies the extraordinary value placed on rich-coloured rubies from top sources.<\/p><p>Becoming the historical gems, the rise of popularity in coloured gemstone is ongoing especially in 2025-2026. The uprising of coloured gemstones are being forecasted to be on par with the diamond in the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udc8e Five Iconic Rubies and Sapphires in World History Across centuries and continents, rubies and sapphires have held a strong place in both jewellery and history.
