A fine example of this kind will go under the hammer at a Christie's sale in Hong Kong on May 27.

The ruby ring decorated with diamonds and sourced from Myanmar weighs about 16 carats, and shows the magnificent beauty of gem as a gift from nature.

Over 150 pieces of jewelry featuring gemstones that hail from world-renowned sources of production and design brands will be auctioned at Christie's major spring sales in Hong Kong.
