Pictures appearance, perception, and glare -- Abelajewels attempts to
display pictures that represent the most typical specimen of our
merchandise. Many natural gemstones are unique with patterns and shade
and may vary considerably, although they will be of the same grade and
value. Our pictures are taken from different angles and distances in
order to show the optimal view and are not to scale. Due to the many
different sizes of monitors and their possible display resolutions, it
is not possible to accurately determine the size of any object in any
picture. Abelajewels specifies the sizes, weights, and dimensions for
most of our products. Customers should rely on the written text in the
description to judge the correct size of any product. It is also
difficult to display the exact color of an item due to variations in
computer monitors, and the use of digital cameras. We can not,
therefore, guarantee that the color of the Gem is exactly as it is in
person. The standard weight measurement for gemstones is in Carats
(cts) and the standard dimension measurements are in Millimeters (mm).
It is recommended that the customer becomes familiar with these
standard jewelry measurement units to accurately determine the
specifications of the merchandise Abelajewels offers.
Gemstones may be treated -- Treated gemstones; It is common practice
for most manufactures to enhance gemstones for better color, clarity
or other reasons. Most of the gemstones we have are imported from over
seas where we have no control over the cutting and treatment process.
We are unaware of any specific treatment, if any, of most of our
gemstones. Therefore it is assumed all Abelajewels gemstones are
treated or enhanced in some way unless otherwise specifically stated
in the advertisement.

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€.
