For the genesis of ruby, chromium must also be present. The trace element chromium is what gives the ruby its colour; it allows red light through, but filters out the other spectral colours, making the gemstone appear red.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Rubies occur in many different shades of red. The general rule is: the more intensive the red, the more expensive the stone. The most sought-after colour is \u201cpigeon blood\u201d. A gemstone with this description can be worth two to five times the price of other intense red rubies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ruby nearly always has inclusions, mostly these are rutile, a titanium oxide. This is actually desirable, because intact rutile needles and crystals prove that the gemstone has not been treated. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Today there are two important sources of ruby: Burma and Mozambique.

Their name comes from <i>rubens<\/i>, meaning red.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The ancient Greeks and Romans held rubies and other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenaturalgem.com\/en\/color\/red\">red stones<\/a> in high esteem: the word they used for them was <i>carbunculus<\/i> and it also referred to other red stones such as garnets.

In ancient India the ruby would protect its wearer from any harm while also preserving his mental and physical health. A further belief was that sacrificing a beautiful ruby to the god Krishna would ensure that one was reincarnated as a ruler.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In China, rubies and sapphires have been known and used for around 6000 years.

Almost certainly because of its colour, it is assigned to the blood and the heart. The gemstone is also associated with love, passion, energy, bravery and power and, depending on the teaching, possesses the widest range of positive attributes. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ruby is used as a healing stone in lithotherapy (crystal healing), Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Alongside a positive effect on the psyche, the ruby is attributed a healing effect on heart and circulatory diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As a birthstone ruby is assigned the month of July (sometimes also June). The gemstone should bring good luck, strength and energy to anyone born in this month, as well as having other positive effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In astrology, however, gemstones are assigned to star signs. An amulet or talisman with a ruby can help the wearer with the star sign of Capricorn or Aries, in some cases also Scorpio and Virgo.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"tng-custom-divider\"><div class=\"tng-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thenaturalgem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/bildschirmfoto-2020-05-12-um-11.09.04.png\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2 align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">RUBIES IN JEWELLERY<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15224&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Rubies have long been well-loved as jewellery stones. In the middle ages they were incorporated into the jewellery of rulers as a sign of power. For centuries exclusively in the realm of the aristocracy, wealthy middle-class people also began wearing rubies at the beginning of the 18th century. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The largest \u201crubies\u201d in the Imperial Crowns of Austria and Russia and the British Imperial State Crown are in fact not rubies, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenaturalgem.com\/en\/gemstones\/spinel\">red spinels<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Today rubies are mostly combined with gold and silver and when used in solitaire jewellery they are generally the main stone.<br \/>\nWhile for male jewellery rubies are mostly set in signet rings, in female jewellery they can be found in many more settings, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In contrast to rubies for investment purposes, for use in jewellery heat-treated rubies are perfectly acceptable and cost between 30% and 90% less than naturally coloured rubies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"tng-custom-divider\"><div class=\"tng-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thenaturalgem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/bildschirmfoto-2020-05-12-um-11.09.04.png\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2 align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">RUBIES AS AN INVESTMENT<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">For investment purposes, naturally coloured rubies of 1ct or more are suitable. Cut stones weighing more than 3ct are rare, those weighing more than 5ct extremely so and a clear, intense red ruby of more than 10ct will easily break the 3 million Euro barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The most important characteristics of a ruby are its colour, its weight and its clarity. The quality of the cut is secondary in comparison with these factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Although previously rubies of 3ct and more were in demand, this has recently changed: today stones from 1ct upwards are now sought-after investments, meaning the demand for high quality, untreated stones is outstripping supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Currently nearly all rubies from the important sources in Burma and many from Mozambique are heat treated immediately after being found. Only around one in a thousand stones from Burma is good enough not to need heat treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As an investment you should only buy a ruby of more than 1ct weight, better is more than 2ct. It must be a naturally coloured, untreated stone with an international certificate and should be a lively red with very slight to slight inclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">With a Mohs scale hardness of 9 and no true cleavage, rubies are very resilient. They are not susceptible to light, moisture or warmth. This makes them ideal for use in jewellery, but also means they can simple be kept in a safe with no fear of degradation occurring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ruby has been one of the most highly regarded gemstones since time immemorial.
