Billie Hughes and Ann Lee take the audience on a journey through the world of rubies.
Ruby, the “King of Gems,” has been sought after for centuries. Whether they are collected in the humble miner’s pocket or in the vast vaults of royalty, they have resonated with humankind as a symbol of nature’s beauty, and of wealth and power. Join L’École’s Ann Lee and Lotus Gemology’s Billie Hughes, as they guide us through the journey of ruby. In this Conversation, we will follow rubies from remote mines, to artisanal cutting workshops, through modern laboratory testing, until they find their homes in glittering jewels.
This Conversation is part of Van Cleef & Arpels' Ruby Week.
