Rubies

Ruby | Stones

Rubies are absolutely stunning stones and are one of the earths rare treasures. The beautiful deep hues of the perfectly cut ruby intoxicate the senses. July is the month in which the stone is honored and those born in July are fortunate enough to have this treasure as their birth stone.

Many modern rubies are artificially produced, due to the rarity of the natural ruby. A natural ruby can be distinguished by natural imperfections that occur when the stone is produced naturally. Spikes or needles are formed within the ruby. These are known as silk and allow a gemologist to tell whether it is a natural ruby or a synthetic one.

Ruby quality is based on the cut, coloration, size and natural attributes of the stone. Hue and color variations are also indicators that the stone is real and not artificial. Rubies are high value gems, and command an excellent price, particularly for quality natural stones. Both real and artificial rubies make stunning pieces for any piece of jewelry they are used in.   The ideal color is a vivid medium to dark red tone, with color as the most important characteristic of value.
