Ruby Jewellery

Ruby is a bright and vibrant red gemstone that adds a touch of passion and drama to any piece of jewellery. It is a type of mineral called corundum and is prized for its beautiful red colour.

What is a Ruby?

A ruby is a type of red gemstone that is made up of the mineral corundum. Rubies are prized for their rich red colour, which is caused by trace amounts of chromium present in the stone. The intensity of the red colour can range from a pale red to a deep, rich red.

Rubies are rated on the "Four Cs" scale to determine their value. Rubies are typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the intensity of their colour, the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and the quality of their cut. Rubies with a deep, rich red colour and few inclusions or blemishes are considered the most valuable.

Rubies are a popular choice for use in engagement rings and other types of fine jewellery. They are often used as the main stone in rings, earrings, pendants, and other types of jewellery. Rubies are also sometimes used as a replacement for traditional red gemstones, such as garnets or spinels.
