Frank’s Files: The Man Who Hunts Unheated Burmese Rubies for a Living | Sotheby’s

On this episode of Frank’s Files, Frank Everett is joined by Anup Jogani (@theraregemdealer), who curates and cuts rare, collectible gemstones and diamonds, often crafting them into exceptional handmade jewels. Jogani's handmade jewelry leans into antique and antique-inspired cuts, Victorian-era design sensibilities, and gemstone mountings forged from metal rather than cast, and now every piece he makes for retail is exclusively available on Sotheby's Marketplace, no auction cycle required. Together, Frank and Jogani walk through a selection of brand-new pieces designed exclusively for the platform — including a flat cushion-cut ring full of life and sparkle, a bluish green emerald set in a yellow gold bezel the way emeralds demand to be worn, a three-plus carat unheated Burmese ruby with the visual presence of something twice its size, and a table cut diamond ring flanked by emeralds that rounds out the collection beautifully. His Dream Sapphires carry a velvety, cashmere-like quality that no photograph can replicate, and several pieces are also on view in person at Sotheby's Madison Avenue salon in New York. Some things, as Jogani will tell you, you simply have to see for yourself. A curated selection of rare gemstone jewelry by Jogani is available to purchase immediately on Sotheby's Marketplace.
