Buying Rubies
Browse Rubies and Ruby Jewelry
You never have to think twice when rubies are concerned. People are buying rubies as gifts to exchange among couples, because of the deep red color that ignites undying love and passion. When buying rubies, consider the following:
- Rubies are more rare than other gems and in high demand. Expect to pay more.Inclusions and minor flaws in the gem are second to color. Look for deep red coloring.
- Rubies rank a 0 on the Mohs scale making them one of the more resilient gemstones. Feel free to buy rubies that might receive the occasional bump or scratch (such as rings).
- During the formation process, the inevitable inclusions in the Ruby cause the gem to crack. Rubies that have been able to grow to be over 3 carats are extremely rare, so opt for buying smaller rubies that are deep red.
