<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 430310, member: 2844&quot;]My keris hilts (and keris) are Javanese and Madurese, and some other Indonesian. Some have rubies in the mendak or selut (hilt ring or cup), and most of those rubies are Burmese. Rubies from different locations have different minerals in the mix, which react differently to UV light. Burmese rubies fluoresce bright red, like demon&#039;s eyes.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The Burmese equivalent to a keris would be a dha, although I don&#039;t know if it has the same spiritual/mystical connection. I don&#039;t have any dha.</p><p>I can&#039;t show anything right now, I am on another computer after mine crashed.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There are some on the forum. Somewhere..... Most of my best ones are still &#039;incognito&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I suspect S Wolf may have a keris or two up his sleeve himself. Or at least have seen some which are much more grand than mine. S lives in Java, Indonesia, core country of the wonderful keris.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=9000]@Silver Wolf[/USER] , found a few threads with some of my keris (hilts), no Burmese rubies though.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Will diamonds do?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie13" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The diamonds (and other gemstones) are on the family keris.</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/rare-women%E2%80%99s-keris-from-east-java.18187/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/rare-women%E2%80%99s-keris-from-east-java.18187/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/rare-women’s-keris-from-east-java.18187/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/shell-gold-does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-it.25847/#post-346299" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/shell-gold-does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-it.25847/#post-346299">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/shell-gold-does-anyone-have-any-experience-with-it.25847/#post-346299</a></p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/silver-tarnish-protection-any-ideas.21318/#post-287814" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/silver-tarnish-protection-any-ideas.21318/#post-287814">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/silver-tarnish-protection-any-ideas.21318/#post-287814</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
