To ensure a fair purchase, it is advisable to buy Rubies that are certified for their origin, color and clarity by recognized national or international laboratories.
Origin– The quality and price of the gemstone are greatly affected by its origin. Burmese Ruby or Old Burma Ruby is the most popular Ruby origin because of its brilliant color saturation and consistency. However, the discovery of new Ruby mines in Africa and Asia has expanded the choice range for customers by giving away new varieties like Mozambique ruby, Thailand Ruby, and Afghanistan Ruby. However, Myanmar produces the finest quality gemstone.
Color: Color is the most important factor that affects the price of Ruby. To figure out the best quality of Ruby we need to consider its hue, tonal grade and saturation. Hue signifies the type of red, the redder the gemstone the better. The tonal grade determines the level of darkness of red. While saturation determines the intensity of color. The most allured Ruby colors are the strong pure red and a red with a hint of blue most commonly known as pigeon’s blood.
Clarity– Clarity is yet another important parameter that determines the quality and price of Ruby. Flawless and natural Ruby gemstone above a few carats is rare to find. Also, the visible clean gemstone is higher in price. Having natural inclusions makes the gemstone priceless and reflects the utmost beauty. Rubies are classified under type II grade that makes natural inclusions a normal phenomenon.
Carat Weight– Ruby stone price per carat increases exponentially when moving from one carat Ruby to three or four-carat Ruby.
Cut– The way a Ruby is cut can contribute around 10-20% to the cost of Ruby. Faceted cut Ruby is brilliantly enhanced but incurs significant stone wastage as well. For the same quality, a faceted Ruby cost is higher than a Ruby cabochon.
Luster – Luster is another important factor that determines the Manik stone price. Natural and unpolished Ruby exhibit bright and sharp reflections. The higher and excellent the luster, the more valuable the Ruby is.
