What is Ruby?<\/o:p><\/h2>\n

The ruby\u2019s name is derived from the Latin term, ruber, for red. Like its sister gem, sapphire, ruby belongs to the corundum family of crystals, and its color comes from chromium oxide. The host rocks of ruby are metamorphic, like marble and gneiss. Ruby is separated through the washing of river gravel, sand and soil, then concentrated and picked out by hand.<\/p>\n

Synthetic rubies have been created to be identical to natural rubies in chemical, physical and optical properties. Still, they can be recognized by their lack of natural inclusions and that they transmit shortwave ultraviolet light.<\/p>\n

Which Regions Produce the Highest Quality Rubies?<\/h2>\n

Rubies are typically mined from the sediment in rivers and streams in Siberia, Thailand, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Brazil.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

History of the Ruby<\/h2>\n

Rubies were traded along China\u2019s Silk Road as early as 200 B.C. In Burma\u2014a significant ruby source since at least 600 AD\u2014warriors believed that rubies made them invincible in some cases implanting rubies into their skin to grant protection in battle. Ancient Hindus referred to the ruby as the \u201cKing of Gems\u201d and believed they\u2019d be reborn as emperors if they offered rubies to the god Krishna. After the original Burmese mines were depleted, the Mong Hsu region of Myanmar started producing rubies in the 1990s. They lacked the vibrant red hue of traditional Burmese Rubies but were treated with heat to improve saturation and transparency.<\/p>\n

Though the ruby has a long history, it wasn\u2019t recognized as a variety of corundum until 1800. Before that, red spinel, tourmaline and garnet were also believed to be ruby. Even the Black Ruby, one of the famed crown jewels of England, was considered one of the largest cut rubies until determined to be spinel. One of the largest known rubies in the world is called the \u201cPeace\u201d ruby because it was found in 1919 shortly after World War I ended. The red fluorescence power of ruby helped build the first working laser in 1960.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Rubies Used For?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rubies\u2014both natural and synthetic\u2014are still used to make lasers, as well as watches and medical instruments.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ruby-ring.jpg” alt=”ruby ring” title_text=”ruby-ring” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Ruby Color, Characteristics, and Value<\/o:p><\/h2>\n

A fiery statement piece, July\u2019s birthstone is the perfect complement to the rising temperatures. Symbolic of passion and prosperity, rubies have been prized for centuries by jewelry buyers and makers alike. One of our favorite makers,\u00a0<\/span>Roberto Coin<\/span><\/span><\/a>, even adds a small hidden ruby to the inside of their pieces to promote long life, health and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruby is the hardest mineral after diamond and can range in color from purplish-red to true red to orange-red. The most desirable color is pure red with a hint of blue. Garnet can be mistaken for ruby. However, garnet generally has a darker tone and is less refractive. Most rubies have been heat-treated to enhance their color at the time they were mined; this is a permanent treatment and does not require special care.<\/p>\n

While rubies can be cut into almost any shape, large stones are rare. Inclusions are common with rubies and can indicate the geographical source of the gem. Rutile needles are a natural inclusion that creates a unique cat\u2019s eye effect on a cabochon. When crystal inclusions are oriented in a specific pattern, a six-pointed star (called an asterism) becomes visible \u2014 making the gem a \u201cStar Ruby.\u201d<\/p>\n

When considering the value of a ruby, color is the principal factor. Inclusions that cannot be seen with the naked eye also indicate higher quality. Rubies in sizes over two carats are rare. They can be more expensive than a diamond of comparable size.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
