The ruby ​​is in English, "Ruby", in which ruby ​​is the most precious of all gems. The ruby ​​red color of ruby ​​makes people always associate it with passion and love.

Ruby origin: Myanmar, Mengsu, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Tanzania, China (Yunnan, Anhui, Qinghai, Heilongjiang)

Although ruby ​​is a jewel that women yearn for, the natural ruby ​​is very rare, the output is not much and the price is high. But the recognition of ruby ​​is not difficult in the imagination. Mastering the basic five tips will help you to know and choose ruby.

First, the pigeon blood red is the top ruby

The pigeon blood red is not the color level of the ruby, but the description of the top gem. Because of the sparse production area, it is very collectible for jewellery lovers. The ruby ​​produced in Myanmar is the most authentic pigeon blood red in the traditional sense, and it is also the most popular, and the price will be relatively higher. In addition, the pigeon blood from Mozambique is comparable to Myanmar in terms of color and clarity, and the price will be relatively low.

Second, the bigger the carat, the better, at least 1 carat

In fact, the price does not determine the color of ruby, but in terms of particle size, it must be the bigger the better. The Gubelin jewellery family in Switzerland has generally identified pigeon blood red as a starting point for gems over 1 carat.

Third, no processing, the more red the better

There are many colors of ruby, the best is darker red, followed by reddish purple, followed by darker pink, purple, slightly brownish red, others like brownish red, black The red, very light pink is a poor ruby. In addition, when viewing the ruby ​​from the table top, it is best to see only one color when rotating. If other colors are visible, the orientation of the ruby ​​is not correct.

Fourth, no higher value than "heat treatment"

In fact, most rubies on the market are heat treated, and the industry accepts the processing method of ruby ​​heat treatment. However, as the value of the ruby ​​itself, the ruby ​​that has not been heat treated and has excellent color quality is more valuable, which is one of the foundations for judging the pigeon blood red. Of course, the value of the heat-treated ruby ​​will not fall.

V. "Ten Red and Nine Splits"

Because of its growth environment and its own cracking, natural rubies inevitably have signs of growth such as cracks, so there is also a saying of “ten red and nine cracks”. Natural rubies without any cracks and cracks are extremely rare. The generation of cracks affects their clarity and thus their value. Small healing cracks have little effect on value.
