Ruby Buyer’s Guide
“They brought me rubies from the mine, and held them to the sun,
I said they are drops of frozen wine from Eden’s vats that run.â€
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beauty, rarity and historical mystique of rubies are undeniable.
The earliest record for the mining of rubies goes back to more than
2,500 years ago in Sri Lanka. The ancient Hindus were enchanted by the
color of rubies and they considered them to be the Rajnapura or
“King Of Gemsâ€.
Above all other gemstones, including diamonds, rubies command the
greatest per Carat prices. For example, the 15.97 Carat faceted
Mogok rubie that sold at Sotheby’s in New York, October 1988,
fetched a staggering $3,630,000 or $227,301 per Carat.
Understanding where the value lies in rubiesis essential to making a
rewarding purchase. Not all rubies are the same, and as with all other
gemstones, quality equals value. Consequently, there are numerous
attributes to consider when selecting this most precious of gems.
Color Is The Most Important Factor In Determining A Ruby’s Value
Identical in every attribute to sapphire, except for their red color
hues, the term “ruby†can only be applied to the red varieties of
the mineral known as corundum, which is second only to diamond in
hardness.
Color is the single most important factor in determining a ruby’s
value. As if to emphasis this point, even the name ruby is derived
from the Latin word for red ruber. While color preferences are
subjective, traditionally the ideal ruby color displays the intensity
and richness of bright crimson without appearing too light or dark.
Still beautiful within their own right, rubies that appear dark and
garnet-like, or those that are light in color and are perceived as
pink, generally offer the consumer better value.
It is generally recognized that the best ruby colors possess a
captivating, intense, almost electric red effect due to fluorescence.
The Carat Weight Of Rubies Greatly Affects Per Carat Prices
Large rubies of high quality are the rarest and most highly prized of
all gemstones. Rarer than diamonds or sapphires of an equal quality
and size, any high quality piece above five Carats is considered to be
extremely rare and is almost priceless.
As the Carat weight of a ruby increases, so does its price per Carat.
As large rubies are many times rarer than smaller rubies per carat
prices increase disproportionately - a three Carat ruby is worth many
times more than three one Carat rubies of a comparable quality.
Prices for ruby increase in stair-like steps when in excess of certain
significant Carat weights. For example, a 2.02 Carat ruby commands a
higher per Carat price than a 1.98 Carat ruby, despite a negligible
difference in actual size. ruby pricing, like that of nearly all other
gems, suffers from a “non-linear-scale of incrementsâ€.
