The Ruby is one of the worlds most valued precious gemstone. The finest Rubies are rarer and more valuable than even top quality colorless Diamonds. Burma quality Rubies have a reputation for holding their vivid color under all lighting conditions.

The Ruby has a strong vivid fluorescent red with hot violet flashes. It is the type of burning ember color that can be seen across a restaurant. It is acceptable to have slight inclusions, which do not detract from the gems beauty or value.

Ruby is the birthstone for July.
