Designed by Tsajon, a 40ct ruby bead necklace accented by a seductive Burmese ruby and Basara pearl dangle, all in 18K gold.
The red of a ruby may involve very different nuances depending on its origin. The range of those nuances is quite wide, and could perhaps be compared to hotel categories, from luxury accommodation down to a plain inn or hostel. For example, if the gemstone experts refer to a 'Burmese ruby', they are talking about the top luxury category. However, it does not necessarily follow that the stone is of Burmese origin. It is basically an indication of the fact that the colour of the ruby in question is that typically shown by stones from the famous deposits in Burma (now Myanmar): a rich, full red with a slightly bluish hue. The colour is sometimes referred to as 'pigeon-blood-red', but the term 'Burmese colour' is a more fitting description. A connoisseur will immediately associate this colour with the legendary 'Mogok Stone Tract' and the gemstone centre of Mogok in the North of Myanmar. Here, the country's famous ruby deposits lie in a mountain valley surrounded by high peaks. Painstakingly, gemstones of an irresistible luminosity are brought to light in the 'valley of the rubies'. Unfortunately, really fine qualities are quite rare even here.The colour of a Burmese ruby is regarded as exceptionally vivid. It is said to display its unique brilliance in any light, be it natural or artificial.

More about Basara pearls:
The most important sources of natural pearls, which until 1908 were the only kind in use, were the oyster shoals on sandbanks off the island of Bahrein in the Persian Gulf where the best-quality large pearls were found, called Basara pearls, and the waters of the Gulf of Manaar between India and Sri Lanka's west coast, where the pearls, according to Tavernier, were "most beautiful but rarely exceeding 3 or 4 carats in weight." All natural pearls that came from Asian waters were termed 'oriental pearls' in the West.

See what some of our satisfied customers have to say:
Brian - fast service and beautiful jewelry
I bought some jewelry from their lotus galleries on Kauai in the past, but I've never used the website before. Anyways, everything went fast and I didn't have to pay for shipping. I'm very happy with my pearl bracelet, it's beautiful :) Mahalo
Christine - very unique stone
I own a meditation and yoga studio and I had a chance to visit your gallery in Kapaa and meet the owner. Since I got your lingam stone all my students noticed a huge difference in energy flow and feel much calmer when meditating. I've been to India myself and I know how hard is to find them in such a good shape and size. btw. Thank you for your presentation and hope to see you again,
Roy L - good service, we'll buy again
I was surprised to see my Quan Yin garden statue arrive so quickly, it now sits in the garden overlooking the fish pond. I will order again with confidence. Thank you
Crystal - most beautiful pendant I've ever seen
I wear jyotish jewelry all the time and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you very much for your beautiful collection. It'd be nice to see more pictures though.
Maria - thank you !
I love your Tahitian black pearl rings, but please show more pictures for your products, maybe something like a picture of a woman wearing the piece to see how big it is. Thank you for a quick and friendly service, hope to visit Hawaii some time :).
Amy - gorgeous earrings, thank you
The only thing that I'd like to see on your website is more pictures. Other than that everything went smooth and I really enjoy your earrings. Thank you,
Gabi D. - love your shell necklace
I visited your Poipu gallery this summer and it was incredible to see a piece of Tibet in a tropical paradise. I wanted to thank you for this beautiful necklace. Best regards,
James, Santa Fe - found a gift for mother's day
I have to admit I was worrying a little about the shipment from Hawaii arriving on time, but delivery was exceptionally fast and my mother loved the earrings I got for her. Keep up the good work.
Mike D. - amazing collection
I was surprised at the rare collection of artifacts on your website. I particularly collect Buddha statues, but was happy to also find bronze Buddha hands that made a great addition to my house. Thank you for a friendly service,
