Men's Ring With Ruby
Ruby has always been rare, it has always enjoyed a ready market. Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are three of the most expensive gems to be set in jewelry. You might be surprised to know that both ruby and sapphire, belong to the same family - they both come from the corundum (mineral) family. Red gem quality corundum is referred to as ruby, all other corundum colors are sapphires.
A men's ruby ring would wear a significant price tag, it is therefore important to understand the gemstone and evaluate all issues related to the ring. You would be aware that the price of gold is indeed high and yet, the ruby in a men's gold ring is likely to be worth more than the gold in which it is set. When you set out to value a ruby gemstone, there are a few factors that come into the equation.
Ruby Value:
- Color, the gemstone should have a significant red color component.
- Eye clean rubies can be very expensive, aim for at least medium clarity.
- Rubies from Burma carry a premium price, this is a personal feeling.
- We are not considering with man made ruby gemstones.
- Larger rubies cost more per carat as compared to smaller sizes.
- GEMSTONE TREATMENT IS A CRITICAL FACTOR.
- Buying from a source related to the mines gets you better value.
Most of the above factors are self explanatory but, we need to get deeper into the issue of ruby gemstone treatments. You can get a stupendous ruby men's ring with a high clarity gem and amazing color at a very low price but, the value of the gem would be very low. Rubies nature will always have some inclusions in them, heating the stones clears up some inclusions and helps improve color and clarity of the stone. When a simple heat process is applied to ruby gemstones, the value of the stone remains intact. The simple heat treatment for rubies has been practiced for very long and is accepted by gem experts. The Claddagh365 MCR-022 Men's Ruby Ring is set with a natural ruby gemstone that is put through the simple heat process.
Unfortunately there are other ruby treatments that destabilize the gem and also lower its value. Beryllium heat treatment for rubies significantly lowers the value of the gem, it needs to be clearly disclosed to the buyer. One of the most controversial treatments applied to rubies is the 'fissure filling' or 'glass filling' process. In this treatment, silica is added to the furnace along with the rubies. The glass forms inside the stone and fills up cracks, the treatment can drastically improve the color and clarity of the ruby. You might be tempted to go for a fissure filled ruby for your men's ring but, there is something that you need to know. Glass filled or fissure filled rubies, have a low value they are also prone to getting damaged scratched. Rubies processed through this treatment need to have a clear disclosure, the seller is duty bound to inform details to the buyer.
So it is now apparent that a heat treated ruby is the best option for a men's ruby gemstone ring. An untreated ruby might sound even more exciting but most often, such rubies show clear inclusions and color zoning. If you have seen absolutely gorgeous untreated rubies, the stones would carry astronomically high price tags. Equating value and price, simple heat treated rubies are what you should go for.
