Jewelry knowledge: picking rubies requires only five key points (figure)

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

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"
