Ruby Buying Guide
Essential tips for choosing the perfect ruby
Color Quality
The most important factor. Look for vivid red color with good saturation. "Pigeon blood" red from Burma is the most prized, but avoid overly dark or light stones.
Clarity Standards
Eye-clean rubies (no visible inclusions) are preferred for jewelry. Some inclusions are acceptable as they prove natural origin. Avoid heavily included stones unless rare.
Treatment Disclosure
Heat treatment is standard and acceptable. Glass-filling or diffusion treatment significantly reduces value. Natural unheated rubies are rare and command premiums.
Ruby Buying FAQ
Get answers to common questions about rock identification, gemstone buying, and using our platform.
Look for detailed photos, complete descriptions including treatment information, and seller reputation. Request certificates from reputable labs like GIA, AGL, or Gübelin for valuable stones. Our platform requires sellers to disclose all treatments and provides buyer protection.
Focus on the 4 Cs: Color (vivid red is most valuable), Clarity (eye-clean preferred), Cut (good proportions for brilliance), and Carat weight. Also consider origin (Burmese premium), treatment status (natural/heated), and certification from reputable labs.
Burmese rubies from Myanmar are considered the finest, known for their 'pigeon blood' red color and fluorescence. Thai rubies are darker red, African rubies offer good value, and Ceylon produces lighter red stones. Origin affects both quality and price significantly.
Yes! Heat treatment is standard industry practice, accepted by all major labs and dealers. It improves color and clarity without adding foreign materials. Heated rubies offer excellent value compared to rare unheated stones which command premium prices.
For rings: 0.5-2 carats work well. For pendants: 1-3 carats are popular. For earrings: 0.25-1 carat each. Larger rubies (3+ carats) are rare and expensive but make stunning statement pieces. Consider your budget and intended use.
Prices vary widely by quality and origin. Commercial grade: $100-500/ct, Fine quality: $500-3,000/ct, Premium Burmese: $3,000-15,000+/ct. Certified unheated Burmese rubies can exceed $20,000/ct for exceptional stones.
