Unveiling the Majesty of Rubies: A Gemstone of Passion and Elegance
Welcome to the radiant world of rubies, a captivating gemstone that stands proudly among 'the great four' alongside diamond, emerald, and sapphire. Renowned for its luscious red color, the ruby is a rare treasure, making its mark as one of the most coveted gemstones on Earth. Let's delve into the enchanting realm of rubies and uncover the allure that sets them apart.
What Defines a Ruby?
Ruby, with its mesmerizing red hue, owes its color to traces of chromium. Ranking at an impressive 9 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness—second only to diamond—this gemstone boasts exceptional durability. Its robust nature not only adds to its timeless beauty but also ensures lasting resilience.
Exploring Ruby's Distinctive Properties
For centuries, the ruby has been synonymous with love and passion, making it the perfect gemstone for expressions of deep affection. Often chosen for Valentine's Day gifts, the ruby is intricately connected to love, happiness, and spiritual well-being. Regarded as a protective stone, it acts as a barrier against negative energies, offering a shield to the wearer.
The Origin of Rubies
Primarily found in Asia, rubies grace the landscapes of Myanmar, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Madagascar, and Montana. At Capucinne, we source our rubies primarily from India, collaborating with reputable suppliers to ensure the authenticity and quality of each gemstone.
The Rarity and Uniqueness
As the rarest gemstone on Earth, rubies carry a notable price tag. Their individuality lies in their color—the deeper the red, the higher the value. Pigeon Blood Rubies, renowned for their deep red color with a blue hue, are particularly prized for their vibrant appearance. However, affordable options with unique subtones, such as yellow or pinkish hues, allow for diverse choices without compromising on elegance.
Embracing Diverse Shapes
At Capucinne, we celebrate the versatility of rubies by experimenting with various shapes and cuts. From the classic round to pear, trillion, and square, each shape accentuates the warm red color, commanding attention and admiration.
Caring for Your Ruby Jewelry
To preserve the radiance of your ruby jewelry, avoid harsh cleaning treatments like ultrasonic cleaners or chemicals. Opt for a gentle approach using warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Ensure thorough drying before wearing or storing, preferably in a velveteen bag for added protection.
