Color

GemsNY carries five different colors in rubies namely Pigeon Blood Red, Deep Red, Red, Purplish Red and Pinkish Red. Select the color of your liking.

Pigeon Blood Red:	This is the highest color grading for our rubies. Color of these rubies is as deep of a red a ruby can get without turning opaque or being overly colored. Brilliance of these rubies is excellent.
Deep Red:	Such rubies have as rich of a color as pigeon blood red rubies but don't have as much brilliance. Such rubies are still quite rare and in demand.
Red:	Two step lighter than pigeon blood red rubies, such rubies offer tremendous value as they are significantly cheaper than the 'piegon blood' rubies yet still offer a soothing red color.
Purplish Red:	Most common color among burmese rubies. These rubies have nice medium red color with a touch of purple to them.
Pinkish Red:	Most affordable rubies we have. These rubies have an even mixture of pink and red.

Clarity

FL- This is the highest clarity grade a ruby can have. This means the gemstone is 100% clean to the eye to a trained, experienced gemologist but not necessarily under 10X or higher magnification.

VVS1, VVS2- This grading means the ruby would be 100% eye clean to an untrained eye but a gemologist might be able to observe very, very tiny inclusions from certain side angles.

VS1, VS2- This means very tiny inclusions would be visible under very close inspection to an untrained eye.

SI1, SI2- Slight visible inclusions upon inspection would be visible to an untrained eye but inclusions are not affecting the brilliance or the color in the rubies.

I1- These rubies are highly included where the inclusions hinder the brilliance and color of the ruby.

Measurement Length

Is the longer of the sides in a gemstone. However, for round and square shape (also princess cuts) the length and the width will be the same.

In order to determine which length and width measurement s are required, please print out our stone size chart.This chart compares actual sizes of gemstones in various different measurements.

Enhancements

GemsNY has the largest* online inventory of rubies whether heated or unheated (meaning no enhancements at all).

No Enhancements-Gemstones which are unheated (meaning no enhancements at all) have only traditional process of cutting and polishing applied to them in order to improve the appearance or durability of the gem. Such rubies are rare and on average are about 300% to 500% more expensive than heated rubies and 2000% more than filled rubies.

Heated- Among rubies it is a general practice among the manufacturers to heat the rough in order to enhance the color of the gems. Over 99% of rubies used in today's jewelry are heated. This treatment has been there in the industry for a long time and is accepted worldwide since this is a PERMANENT treatment. In fact, this treatment is so common that in the trade if an individual asks for a ruby or sapphire it is understood they want heated.

Filled- In addition to heat treatment, during the manufacturing process if there are any cavities or fractures in the ruby than often these imperfections are filled with foreign substances. These substances vary based on the type of imperfection that needs to be filled. This treatment is relatively stable in a finished jewelry piece (meaning filling will not come out and cannot be visually detected without a microscope), however some precautions do need to be taken while setting the stone in a jewelry piece. Prices of rubies which are filled are on average 80% less than rubies with just heat treatment.

Carat Weight

Carat weight is the unit of measurement that is used by the jewelry industry to weigh gemstones. 1 carat is equal to .2grams or there are 5 carats in 1 gram.

We suggest when looking for gemstones it is better to search by measurements rather than carat weight. This is more important as visually how large a gemstone appears is more important than how much it weighs. Click here for our stone size chart. Click here for our stone size chart.
