Posted by In the UAE, where luxury and tradition go hand in hand, ruby stones remain one of the most sought-after gemstones for their striking beauty and symbolism. A ruby isn’t just a gem—it’s a statement of passion, protection, and power. But with so many options available in the market, how do you ensure you’re buying a high-quality ruby? And more importantly, what makes Clio Jewellery the trusted name when it comes to sourcing the best rubies in the region?
This guide walks you through what to look for in a high-quality ruby and explains how Clio Jewellery brings authenticity, craftsmanship, and transparency to the table.
Why Rubies? A Gemstone Rich in Meaning
Rubies have long been cherished across cultures for their vivid red hue, which symbolizes love, vitality, and courage. In many Eastern traditions, rubies are believed to offer protection and attract prosperity. Whether used in engagement rings, necklaces, or heirloom pieces, rubies are timeless additions to any jewellery collection.
How to Identify a High-Quality Ruby
Not all rubies are created equal. When shopping for a ruby, especially in a luxury market like the UAE, it’s essential to understand what defines true quality. Here are the key factors to consider:
1. Color
- The finest rubies have a rich, vibrant red hue, often referred to as “pigeon blood red.”
- Avoid overly dark or light stones—too much purple or brown diminishes the ruby’s value.
2. Clarity
- While inclusions are natural in rubies, excessive cloudiness can impact brilliance.
- A high-quality ruby strikes a balance: minimal inclusions that do not obstruct the gem’s beauty.
3. Cut
- The cut affects how the ruby reflects light. Precision in cut enhances the stone’s fire and luster.
- Oval, cushion, and round cuts are popular and timeless choices.
4. Carat Weight
- Larger rubies are rare and significantly more valuable.
- However, balance is key—choose a size that complements your style and budget.
5. Origin & Certification
- Burmese rubies are world-renowned, but Sri Lankan and Mozambican rubies also offer excellent quality.
- Always ask for certification to verify authenticity and treatment history.
