-Most of
Myanmar jewelry styling is
rather conservative.
Usually jewelry in Myanmar, ruby
jewelry , sapphire jewelry and semi precious stones
jewelry items don't have a very modern or art fashion styling
due to the isolation of Myanmar - Burma in the past, there
is only very limited interaction with the outside world, but
usually you get a good
gem quality.
To start shopping for Myanmar precious products start
at the Bogyoke Market in Yangon down town.
There you find at least 50 Myanmar jewelry shops selling
jade jewelry, from the
simple bangle to the most exquisite carving of
imperial jade
Buddha
statues and other Myanmar jade jewelry, if you rather like
an
emerald, check this. Other jewelry items
with
ruby gemstones,
sapphires and other
Myanmar precious stones are
available too.
There are several other bigger companies manufacturing
Myanmar jewelry in Yangon and elsewhere in the country.
Some of them offer free tours to their factories and try to
sell their jewelry to the tourists this way.
This is not all, very special is
Myanmar
pearl jewelry, they usually come as gold and
silver pearls in normal and baroque form. All this precious
stones are set into good
jewelry, often with a great
diamond to create a real beautiful piece of
Myanmar diamond jewelry
or
ruby diamond products.
If you want to buy jewelry in Myanmar take enough cash with you since due to
the US embargo credit cards cant be accepted and also money
transfer to foreign countries wont work....and do a
orderly bargaining. If you like a
expensive Myanmar jewellery item very much,
lets say they ask for $ 300,- or more, take
a Myanmar person - you can trust - with you
and show him or her what you like, check the price for
you and go.
The next day send the
Myanmar person and tell to buy but only for about half the
price, but don't go in with them, wait outside somewhere. The
reason is, a Myanmar person usually gets the Myanmar jewelry, gold, ruby, sapphire
and
plenty of
semi precious stones for about half the price you can get,
this is the usual way also in Thailand.
-Myanmar
Jewelry
are
ruby jewelry,
gems, diamond, jade jewelry,
pearl jewelry and
precious metals such as gold and silver are
used.
Gold and silver are mined in Myanmar, but
platinum, titanium are not. Costume jewelry is made
from less valuable
materials such as spinel. However, jewelry can and has been
made out of almost every kind of precious material. Examples include
Myanmar jewelry such as bracelet, necklace
jewelry, rings, and earrings, as well as
items like hair ornaments and
body
piercing jewelry, there is no
bling bling jewelry.
Many Myanmar precious stones
will end up in
Chantaburi, the gem
capital of Thailand and south
east Asia to be resold or re manufactured
into jewelry. Over time ruby
has become one of the most popular gemstones
to be used in
jewelry, not only in Myanmar but
worldwide. Very often great ruby
together with some diamonds give
exceptional jewelry. The most
popular use of ruby in Myanmar
jewelry is ruby rings. Myanmar
jewelry rings are popular among men
and women and come in different designs. Myanmar ruby rings usually have the
ruby as a centerpiece on with gold as base
material and some diamonds around to give
some sparkling. At Myanmar jewelry ruby
engagement rings are probably the most
popular type of ruby jewelry these days. For
great jewelry also small rubies are
used in pendants, bracelets, earrings and
other jewelry.
Myanmar
ruby jewelry, particularly when
made with precious materials like gold or
platinum, is generally
considered valuable and desirable. Some
cultures have a practice of keeping large
amounts of wealth stored in the form of
jewelry, means good business from time to
time.
Myanmar jewelry can also be symbolic, as in
the case of Buddhist people wearing a
Myanmar jade Buddha
pendant or Christians wearing a crucifix in the form
of jewelry, or, as is the case in many Western
cultures, a
diamond or ruby engagement
ring is given to the girl and married people wearing a wedding ring, what can symbolize love
and, of course, the wedding ceremony.
Myanmar ruby jewelry.
Diamond and
Myanmar rubies are graded by four
characteristics: cut, carat (weight),
clarity, and color. All four of these
properties determine how much a precious
stone is
worth.
Cut - What is the
proportion of the
Myanmar
precious stone. Round brilliant
diamonds are commonly cut with 58 facets.
The better proportioned these facets are on
the diamond, the more light will be
reflected back to the viewer's eye. This is
extremely important. When cut properly, the
diamond will sparkle more. Diamond cuts are
measured by the table percentage, so always
ask for it. Cut also refers to the shape
such as: round, pear, and oval. Ruby sparkle
less, this is one of the reasons to include
some diamonds into a great piece of
ruby jewelry.
Carat - How big is the
Myanmar ruby? Larger rubies cost more per
carat due to their size. There are 100
points to a carat. Hence a 50 point ruby
is 1/2 a carat. (There are 5 carats to a
gram.)
Clarity - How clear is the
Myanmar ruby? Clarity ranges from
flawless (perfect) to I (included). Here is
a example: Diamond colors
generally range from D - X for white and
yellow diamonds. D is the whitest. Beside of "Fancy" yellow
Diamonds one can also find green, pink,
red, blue and brown diamonds - though these
are usually irradiated.
Diamonds are often
treated. If you are concerned about getting
true value for your money, know what you are
getting. Be sure to read the fine print.
Myanmar ruby with inclusions
are sometimes heat treated to make them
appear clearer. An inclusion is an
imperfection internal to the ruby and other
precious stones.. Finally, now that you have
that Myanmar jewelry or precious stone, here are some tips as
to how to take care of it. Diamonds are
often thought to be unshatterable.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Diamonds are brittle: If you hit a
diamond hard, they will crack or chip if mishandled.
Don't wear your diamond when doing rough
work.
Storage: Store diamonds
separately. When stored with other ruby or
other jewelry,
diamonds may scratch other jewelry (or each
other).
Cleaning: The best method
for cleaning is a jeweler's polishing cloth.
Most jewelers
will clean your ruby
jewelry or
sapphire jewelry etc.
for free if you are making another purchase
in the store. Author

-Throughout the world, jewelry or body
ornamentation is an ancient and time-honored
art form.
Yet in the United States and
Myanmar jewelry as art has only recently
come into its own.
Such Myanmar jewelry art is not the series of gold tennis
bracelets lined up in a glass case at the mall. Nor is
it the design of a single artist whose staff puts it into
mass production. These are handcrafted, one-of-a-kind works
conceived and executed by the artist with all the technical
elements and aesthetics that carry it across the line into
the realm of fine art.
Diamonds can be an agent's best friend: underserved
jewelry market leaves... "The distinction between
mass-produced jewelry and art jewelry is not just in the
quantity but the design," said jewelry artist Myo Myint at
Yangon Myanmar. "I've seen some stunningly high-quality
Myanmar jewelry designs in a department store that wouldn't be
considered fine art, and I've seen $5,000 diamond and
Myanmar ruby earrings that have no design quality in them.
Art is in the eye of the beholder."
Myanmar jewelry art could be identifies as "ethicized
contemporary" jewelry drawn from historical images, as well
as craft and folk art. Used are, gold, platinum, sterling
silver, high-quality
Myanmar precious stones and
pearls, but to mix them up it becomes interesting, putting
hand-made stones from Myanmar with natural
Myanmar
pearls--the fine and the not-so-fine--to create a
more hand-made appearance.
"Myanmar Jewelry-as-art depends on function and
intimacy, "Every piece of jewelry that leaves the Myanmar
jewelry art studio is entirely hand-fabricated. Myanmar
jewelry artists strive for perfection in design and
craftsmanship, not overly concerned that every form has
perfectly rounded edges or that every element be an exact
replication of its counterpart. Art should be individual and
unique and preserve for the viewer deliberate traces of the
decisions for fabrication; the passage of the hands through
materials."
Herein lies the realm of distinction between crude
commercial jewelry and Myanmar jewelry as fine art. Part
of the departure lies in the purpose or intention behind the
piece, whether it was made to be sold in quantity at a
profit and ultimately worn, or if it was created for the
sake of art--art that was hand crafted, using unconventional
materials
or traditional materials in unconventional
ways. The closer the Myanmar jewelry artist
remains to the creative process, the closer
the Myanmar jewelry is to fine art.
"The difference is the same for jewelry as it is for
the other decorative arts, such as glass and ceramics," You
can tell when they change into fine art because they cease
being functional, or they become sculptural objects
themselves.
Myanmar ruby jewelry continues to make inroads into
fine art venues such as galleries, high-end shows and expos,
and it is creating quite a presence in the marketplace. Several fine art galleries are dedicates to art jewelry
and "Myanmar Jewelry Art Painting" where the Myanmar
jewelry artists make "paintings by using precious stones
instead of of the color paint.
Practically all cutting-edge of Myanmar precious stones art
painting are coming out of
Yangon Myanmar. Myanmar Jewelry
and particular jade jewelry has always been one of the
top-earning categories at the Myanmar Yangon Emporium held
twice per year.
