With rubies its not
only about carat
weight, the real
problem comes with
imitations,
synthetic stones,
gem manipulations
etc.. New technical
treatments for ruby
used in jewelry to
enhance color,
clarity and
transparency are
making every ruby
jewelry buyer
nervous.
Treated ruby
containing synthetic
ruby and other
ingredients are
almost the standard
these days only if
you have a jewelry
shop nearby which
you can trust you
might be safe on
your ruby jewelry
purchase.
If you want to
buy a beautiful deep
red ruby
have it examined
before in a
independent lab. There is no way
around this since
you cant see this
Ruby jewelry manipulations,
whether with the
naked eye nor with a
magnifying glass.
Unfortunately this
ruby business becomes
similar to the
financial business
who sold all kind of
junk without value
until the whole
economy got busted.
But they don't stop
they just keep on
going for the sake
of quick dirty
money.
It looks like
emeralds and other
precious stones like
ruby (including
emerald-containing
jewelry) have been
filled with oil,
wax, resin or other
substances to
enhance their
appearance. Rubies
containing oil
filling and having
their clarity
enhanced are very
popular with
internet retailer.
Ruby jewelry from
a major internet
retailer have been enhanced by
flux healing, a
lesser-known
enhancement method
that deposits
synthetic ruby and
glass into fractures
in the natural ruby
and then essentially
'welds' the cracks
closed.
Usually the ruby
jewelry buyer is not
informed about this
weld-like synthetic
enhancement process. People
who have unknowingly
purchased treated
emeralds or rubies
from major internet
stores for high
prices are really in
bad shape since
'Flux Type'
enhancement, changes
the natural gem and
is irreversible.
As
such, a growing
number of jewelry industry
groups maintain that
Federal Trade
Commission rules
require all jewelers
to inform customers
in advance that
their gems have been
so treated.
But however you
turn it hot jewelry sellers
are red-hued
gemstones like
ruby, garnets and rhodolites.
Burmese ruby rings
to garnet raspberry
earrings, all tells
hidden imaginative
power of gems.

example, sends a
message of great
energy, character
and determination.

diamonds around and
you will be the
queen of the
sparkling.

and bracelets make

platin make up the
real ruby jewelry.
Rubies are fiery and
passionate gemstone
and a great Ruby jewelry
design brings out
the beauty of a
beautiful piece
jewel.
However, all
ruby are different and
not flawless, if
you see a flawless
ruby, its almost for
sure a synthetic
ruby. If the ruby
color shade is more
intense then usual
chances are high you

heat treated ruby
jewelry.

might look much
better but a
specialist sees that
and the value of
that ruby plunges
down almost to zero.
