QUALITY

To determine the quality of Ruby check for the following.

Color: Color plays an important role in determining the quality of the ruby. Highly valued rubies possess the brightest red, also called pigeon blood or blood red color. The richer and more vivid the color red, the higher the price.

Clarity: Natural ruby gemstones have inclusions, and it is very rare for a natural ruby to occur clear without inclusions and thus would be priced highly. Inclusions such as silk lines and asterism increase the value of the gem as the effect it produces is majestic and beautiful. Such inclusions sometimes give the gem the famous chatoyance effect.

Cut: A high-quality ruby is cut with perfect symmetry, in the correct proportions, and polished to give it a mirror-like finish. Rubies can be cut into cushion, oval, emerald, pear, marquise, round, and triangular shapes. High-quality Ruby provides vivid red reflections and the cut determines it majorly.

Carat weight: The price of the ruby per carat is also determined by the size of the Ruby. It is rare to find ruby above certain carats.

Origin: Rubies mined from Burma as known to have the best vivid red and clarity and are valued higher.
