This ring features .72cwt of earth mined Burma rubies , 6 in total,approx.2.5 mm. The setting is approx 14k solid yellow gold, but setting was made off shore and is not hallmarked. 2 small ( 1mm) diamond melee. I do not sell man made stones. All my gems are earth mined. Expect imperfections. Size 7. Setting made of shore by someone I have dealt with for decades, who does good work.
Ruby is the birth stone for those born in July. Corundum, with traces of chromium responsible for the color. Rubies are 9 on the moh's scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)
Sapphires and rubies are the same, other than the color.
Ruby. More expensive that diamond at times. The most expensive ruby to my knowledge is the 25.59 carat Sunrise Ruby which sold at auction in 2015 for $30,420,000.00
Hindus consider ruby very spiritual.... believe the red comes from an eternal flame that no human can extinguish.
Believed to put fire into one's life, and bring economic prosperity.
