Diamonds might be forever but rubies are for eternity! Throughout history, rubies have been considered the “King of Gems” and the symbol of status and success. Associated with love, passion, power and royalty they were essential elements of royal insignia and a favoured jewel among many celebrities.
This highest valued coloured gemstone is extremely hard and durable yet almost all naturally mined rubies have flaws tolerated as part of the nature of the stone. In fact, large eye clean rubies are extremely rare and can command higher prices than diamonds. Rubies can be found all over the world but the finest rubies were originally mined in Myanmar, formerly Burma hence the name Burmese ruby.
Rubies are found in a variety of reds, ranging from pink to blood-red stones with the most desirable colour “pigeon’s blood”, a deep red with a hint of blue. The red hue comes from traces of the mineral chromium.
Rubies represent the month of July and are also the traditional gift for 15th and 40th wedding anniversary. These eye-catching gemstones are very hot trend on red carpets and a popular choice for smart investors!
