About This Collection
Ruby is the red variety of corundum and one of the traditional precious gemstones. Chromium gives ruby its red colour, ranging from lively pinkish red to vivid crimson, while its hardness makes it suitable for important jewellery.
Our Ruby collection is selected for expressive colour, face-up brilliance, balanced cutting, and individual character. Sri Lankan stones often show bright reds with subtle pink undertones. Certification, origin opinions, and treatment details may be available according to the individual gemstone.
Heritage
History & Significance
Passion, courage, vitality, prosperity, and protection
Ruby has been revered across Asia and Europe as the “king of precious stones.” Ancient cultures associated its glowing red colour with vitality, courage, prosperity, and protection, while royal collections valued exceptional rubies alongside the finest diamonds.
Sri Lankan rubies belong to the corundum family and are admired for bright, lively reds that may carry delicate pink undertones. Fine colour, transparency, size, treatment status, and documented origin strongly influence rarity and value.

Understanding Quality
Colour & Quality Guide
The best ruby for a buyer is not always the darkest. Look for a red that remains bright, an even face-up colour, a cut that limits windowing, and inclusions that do not threaten durability. Treatment disclosure and an independent report are particularly important for fine rubies.
Vivid Red
A bright, highly saturated red offering energetic colour and a striking face-up presence.
Pure Red
A balanced true red without a noticeable secondary colour, prized for its clean and classic character.
Deep Red
A rich, darker red with luxurious depth that should remain visibly red rather than appearing black.
Origin & Ethical Sourcing
Sri Lankan alluvial deposits have yielded ruby alongside other corundum for centuries. Stones are reviewed for colour, transparency, cutting, surface condition, and disclosed treatment. Any origin statement is presented as an opinion only when supported by appropriate documentation.
Certification & Authenticity
A ruby laboratory report may identify natural corundum, record weight and measurements, describe detectable treatment, and sometimes provide an origin opinion. Certification availability and the issuing laboratory differ by product; details are supplied before purchase.
Buyer Education
How to Choose Your Gemstone
Use these points as a practical starting place, then compare the individual stone in photographs, video, measurements, and available documentation.
- Select a red that looks vivid rather than merely dark.
- Evaluate clarity in context because natural ruby commonly contains inclusions.
- Check face-up dimensions and cut symmetry alongside carat weight.
- Choose oval or cushion for classic presence and round or radiant for a modern design.
- Ask whether heating or another treatment has been detected or disclosed.
- Request video under more than one light source before selecting a ruby remotely.

Care & Maintenance
Use lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush for routine ruby care. Avoid strong chemicals and impacts, and store ruby separately from softer gems. Because inclusions, fillings, and treatments affect suitable cleaning methods, ask a qualified jeweller before using steam or ultrasonic equipment. Inspect prongs regularly and retain reports in a safe, dry place.
