Ruby Fine Jewelry

Ruby is a beautiful red gemstone that is elegant and sophisticated and a great finish to any fine ruby jewelry. Originating from several countries around the world, the ruby gemstone symbolizes love, energy, and passion.

Ruby has a blood-red color and is a traditional cardinal gem. The color of the ruby comes from the presence of chromium in it. The quality of the stone depends on its clarity, color, weight, and cut. On Moh's scale, ruby has a hardness of 9.0, and only moissanite and diamond are the natural minerals harder than it.

Rubies are mined in many parts of the world, including Burma, Thailand, Afghanistan, Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Macedonia, India, and others. Naturally occurring rubies vary in color from pink to purple to dark red. Lab-created ruby is also created in labs by melting powdered material or by creating a solution of aluminum oxide and chromium.

There is a difference between fine, fashion, and semi-fine jewelry. Fine is a jewelry that is intended for special occasions like engagements or graduations. This type of ruby jewelry does not usually tarnish or wear out. They can also be re-sized by jewelers.

Rubies are carved out in different shapes and finishes for different ruby jewelry. Some are made into fine small pieces that are put on a ring or are the elements of a necklace or pendant's design. Some pendants and earrings have a single large piece of ruby that can be finely cut or polished on the surface to give it a round or oval shape. Others are featured alongside a variety of other gemstones, including diamond, sapphire, pearl, rhodium, zircon, and emerald.
