Rubies

Rubies are a stunning and classic gemstone that have been prized for centuries for their rich, red color. These beautiful stones are known for their durability and are often used to create a wide range of jewelry, including rings, pendants, and earrings.

They are known for their rich, red color, which ranges from a pinkish-red to a deep, blood red. The most highly prized rubies are those with a deep, saturated red color known as "pigeon's blood" red. However, rubies can also come in a variety of other colors, including pink, orange, purple, and even brown. These stones are known as "fancy" rubies and are often less valuable than the traditional red rubies.

In addition to their beautiful color, rubies are also highly prized for their unique properties. They are a type of corundum, which is a mineral known for its hardness and resistance to wear and tear. This makes rubies an excellent choice for everyday wear.

If you're looking to add a ruby to your jewelry collection, it's important to keep in mind that the quality of the stone is a key factor in determining its value. Higher quality rubies are known for their deep, rich color and clarity, and are considered more valuable. No matter what type of ruby you choose, it's sure to be a stunning and timeless addition to your jewelry collection.
