Buying Guide for Ruby Jewelry

Quality Characteristics of Rubies

The quality and price of rubies are determined by their size (measured in carats), color, clarity, and cut.

• Carat Weight: A ruby’s weight is measured in carats (ct), where 1 carat equals 0.2 grams. The heavier the stone, the more valuable it is.
• Color: The most valuable shade is "pigeon blood red," a pure red with a slight blue undertone. This name originates from Asia, as rubies were once believed to be the "blood drops of the Earth."
• Clarity: Rubies naturally contain inclusions, which confirm their authenticity. The fewer inclusions, the more valuable the stone. However, needle-like rutile inclusions can enhance the stone’s light reflection.
• Unheated Rubies: The rarest and most valuable rubies are untreated, meaning their color and clarity have not been enhanced through heat treatment.
• Cut: A well-cut ruby enhances its brilliance. Faceted cuts are particularly popular, but excessive cutting should be avoided to preserve carat weight.

Ruby Jewelry – A Statement of Elegance

Rubies are used in various jewelry designs, including rings, pendants, and necklaces. They are particularly stunning as solitaire stones, where a single ruby takes center stage. Rubies pair beautifully with yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum.

For a striking combination, rubies can be set alongside diamonds or emeralds, creating a truly breathtaking effect.

How Much Does Ruby Jewelry Cost?

The price of ruby jewelry varies widely, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand euros. Factors such as ruby quality, carat weight, metal type, and craftsmanship all influence the final price.

Schmuckzicke offers ruby jewelry for different budgets, with high-quality pieces available for under 1,000 euros. Larger, high-carat rubies serve as an excellent investment, maintaining their value over time.

What to Consider When Buying Ruby Jewelry

• The piece should match the wearer’s style and preferences.
• High-quality rubies should be free from artificial enhancements like lead glass filling or beryllium treatment.
• Ethical sourcing is crucial – ensure the gemstones are mined responsibly without human rights violations or environmental harm.
• Ask for a certification confirming the ruby's quality and authenticity.
