Natural Burmese Cabochon Ruby Goblet Set

A magnificent pair of rock crystal goblets set with natural Burmese cabochon rubies in traditional Kundan settings and mounted in 22K/24K gold. Inspired by the wine goblets used by the last Mughal courts during the nineteenth century, these exceptional vessels evoke a period of celebration, refinement and imperial splendour.

The natural Burmese rubies featured in the goblets are more than one hundred years old. Burmese ruby is regarded as the rarest and most valuable member of the corundum family, with colours ranging from delicate pink-red hues to the highly prized pigeon blood red considered the pinnacle of ruby quality. Celebrated for their beauty, durability and rarity, Burmese rubies have remained among the most sought-after gemstones in the world. Mining records from Burma extend back nearly five centuries, reflecting a long and distinguished history of appreciation by royalty, collectors and connoisseurs.

The rubies are mounted using the traditional Kundan technique, one of the most celebrated forms of gemstone setting associated with the jewelled arts of the Mughal courts. This intricate process allows gemstones to be set with remarkable elegance while preserving their natural beauty and character.

Rock crystal has long been valued for both its clarity and symbolic associations. Traditionally believed to dispel negativity and promote harmony, it has been used across cultures as a material associated with clarity, balance and spiritual well-being. Its transparent purity provides a striking contrast to the rich colour of the Burmese rubies and the warmth of the gold settings.

The combination of rock crystal, antique Burmese rubies, Kundan craftsmanship and high-karat gold creates a pair of goblets that transcend functionality, becoming collectible works of decorative and historical art. Inspired by Mughal luxury and executed with extraordinary craftsmanship, they embody the meeting of gemstone artistry, cultural heritage and timeless elegance.
