The charm of loose rubies is unending. A
ruby can mesmerize you with its brilliant red hue. As a buyer, you should know
that rubies are a kind of corundum mineral. They appear red because of the
presence of chromium in it. In fact, the sapphires are also made from corundum
but have different elements in them which produce different colors. The price
of a ruby gemstone is mainly determined by the color, the clarity, and the size
of the stone. The most popular ruby color is a bright red called “pigeon blood”
or blood-red and it is highly valued in the market.
If you are first time buyer and
want to buy a ruby ring, you should know
that the price of a ruby gemstone vary based on the value of the stone set in
the ring. The first standard or Cs for the stone is the color. As already
mentioned, blood-red is the most expensive color of ruby and it is found in
Myanmar (Burma). The other shades of deep red follow closely behind this hue.
After color, this stone is ranked on the clarity. Much like the dazzling
diamonds, the clearer rubies are considered more valuable but an important
point to note is that if a ruby is too clear, it can be a sign that the
gemstone is heat treated. Natural rubies usually have inclusions in the stone
that are shaped like tiny needles, so you should be careful while buying it.
Always visit a reputed online jewelry store to buy loose rubies, ruby rings, ruby engagement rings,
ruby earrings and other
pieces.
