RUBY

One of the most celebrated gemstones in history, ruby holds a place of honor in the jewelry world and is renowned for its rarity and enduring allure. Among colored gemstones, it can command the highest per-carat price—particularly in fine quality.

The name ruby originates from the Latin word rubens, meaning “red.” True to its name, ruby is found in a range of captivating hues—from rich, dark reds to pinkish tones and the coveted pigeon blood red. What distinguishes the finest rubies is their inner glow: a natural fluorescence that intensifies their red hue in sunlight.

Rubies are often treated to enhance color and clarity, a standard practice in the industry. However, untreated rubies of exceptional clarity are exceedingly rare, making them highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors.
