Ruby is the red variety of the corundum mineral, one of the hardest minerals on
Earth which also includes Sapphire. Pure corundum is colorless. Slight traces of the
color creating elements such as chrome, iron, titanium or vanadium are responsible for
the color. These gemstones show an excellent hardness. On the Moh’s Scale they
achieve a hardness of 9, second only to diamonds. And only red corundum may be called
Ruby, any other color is denominate as Sapphires. Ruby rings are available
in 14k and 18k gold. |

Ruby Which color would you spontaneously associate with love and vivacity, passion and power? It's obvious, isn't it? Red. Red is the color of love. It radiates warmth and a strong sense of vitality. And red is also the color of the ruby, the king of the gemstones. In the fascinating world of gemstones, the ruby is the undisputed ruler. For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones on Earth. It has everything a precious stone should have: magnificent color, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. In addition to that, it is an extremely rare gemstone, especially in its finer qualities. For a long time India was regarded as the ruby's classical country of origin. In the major works of Indian literature, a rich store of knowledge about gemstones has been handed down over a period of more than two thousand years. The term 'corundum', which we use today, is derived from the Sanskrit word 'kuruvinda'. The Sanskrit word for ruby is 'ratnaraj', which means something like 'king of the gemstones'. And it was a royal welcome indeed which used to be prepared for it. |
.Whenever a particularly beautiful ruby
crystal was found, the ruler sent high dignitaries out to meet the
precious gemstone and welcome it in appropriate style. Today, rubies
still decorate the insignia of many royal households. But are they
really all genuine rubies? Read on to find out more! Ruby-red means passion Red for ruby. Ruby-red. The most important thing about this precious stone is its color. It was not for no reason that the name 'ruby' was derived from the Latin word 'rubens', meaning 'red'. The red of the ruby is incomparable: warm and fiery. Two magical elements are associated with the symbolism of this color: fire and blood, implying warmth and life for mankind. So ruby-red is not just any old color, no, it is absolutely undiluted, hot, passionate, powerful color. Like no other gemstone, the ruby is the perfect way to express powerful feelings. |
Instead of symbolizing a calm, controlled
affection, a ring set with a precious ruby bears witness to that
passionate, unbridled love that people can feel for each other. Color above (almost) everything As we have said, color is a ruby's most important feature. Its transparency is only of secondary importance. So inclusions do not impair the quality of a ruby unless they decrease the transparency of the stone or are located right in the centre of its table. On the contrary: inclusions within a ruby could be said to be its 'fingerprint', a statement of its individuality and, at the same time, proof of its genuineness and natural origin. The cut is essential: only a perfect cut will underline the beauty of this valuable and precious stone in a way befitting the 'king of the gemstones'. However, a really perfect ruby is as rare as perfect love. If you do come across it, it will cost a small fortune. But when you have found 'your' ruby, don't hesitate: hang on to it! |
