Ravi Lunia sheds light on how to invest in Burmese Rubies:
Investing in precious stones is always a lucrative business, but far from every precious stone increases in value with time. Between 2005 and 2015, Burmese rubies steadily grew in price and are now amongst the most sought-after stones in the world. To find answers to questions about the best purchase of red corundums, I turned to the leading company that has been dealing them for the last four generations: Faidee.
Ravi Lunia, CEO and creative director of Faidee‘s gem and jewellery business, knows Burmese rubies like the back of his hand. He has agreed to share his expert knowledge about what you need to pay attention to when you buy Burmese stones, what distinguishes them from Mozambican ‘cousins’, what differentiates heat-enhanced stones from natural ones, and the reasons why rubies are classed as an investment.
