When the world's finest rubies meet the art of Eastern connoisseurship, an extraordinary encounter spanning over a century unfolds. Recently, White Deer Club partnered with the legendary ruby house Faidee to present an exclusive ruby appreciation soirée for its distinguished members.

Faidee, a prestigious jewellery maison with 120 years of heritage, is revered in the industry as the "King of Rubies." Since its founding, the Faidee family has passed down their passion and dedication to rubies through generations, with four generations of master craftsmen elevating their understanding and artistry of this "king of gemstones" to unparalleled heights. In the hierarchy of coloured gemstones, rubies reign supreme—and Faidee stands as the undisputed master of this realm. The house remains unwaveringly devoted to excellence, selecting only the highest-grade rubies exclusively from Myanmar's most coveted mines, never venturing into Mozambique or other origins. This almost exacting commitment to quality has cemented Faidee's unrivalled position in the world of fine jewellery. Among the global elite of gemstone collectors, the Faidee name represents the ultimate endorsement of ruby quality and value, with each treasured piece bearing the honour and craftsmanship of a century-old legacy.

During the event, Faidee's expert team guided White Deer members through the mysteries of ruby appreciation. In the world of gemstone collecting, the term "unheated" signifies the highest echelon of value—natural rubies that have never undergone artificial heat treatment, preserving the pristine radiance forged by nature over millions of years. While heated stones may display richer saturation, their collectible value pales in comparison to their unheated counterparts. Faidee's "unheated pigeon blood" rubies represent the ultimate treasure for connoisseurs—unheated Burmese pigeon blood rubies exceeding three carats are exceptionally rare, even among the world's most prestigious jewellery houses.

The appreciation session delved into the core elements that determine a ruby's value. Regarding colour, even the legendary "pigeon blood" red presents in varying nuances—some with subtle pink undertones, others with profound depth—only the purest, most saturated hues command the highest prices. Clarity proves equally crucial; two eight-carat stones may differ in price by several multiples, ranging from three to four hundred thousand to over one million RMB, based on clarity alone. Furthermore, the cut breathes soul into each stone—Faidee's master craftsmen work with each rough stone's natural form, creating crystal-clear sugar-loaf cuts or irregular facets that capture dancing light, every incision a tribute to nature's gift.

Perhaps most moving is the story of time behind each exceptional ruby necklace. Given the inherent rarity of fine rubies, assembling multiple stones of matching hue and quality may require over thirty years of patient curation. Each gemstone is so precious that artisans refuse to cut a complete rough into unsuitable sizes, choosing instead to wait for destiny to deliver the perfect match. This devotion to perfection and the patient passage of time embody the century-old craftsmanship that defines Faidee.

At this private gathering, members not only admired priceless heirloom pieces up close but also gained profound insights into the art of gemstone collecting. This embodies the essence of White Deer Club—transforming the world's most exclusive resources into bespoke experiences for our members, making every gathering an invaluable opportunity to broaden horizons and elevate taste.
