About Ruby

Ruby is one of the most prized gemstones in the world, belonging to the corundum family. Its hardness and vibrant color make it highly durable and desirable for fine jewelry. Rubies are primarily known for their rich red color, which ranges from pigeon blood red to lighter pinkish-red shades. Trade terms sometimes include "pigeon blood" for the most vivid red stones. Rubies are found in origins such as Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Mozambique. Burmese rubies, particularly, are famous for their vivid red saturation.
