1 pcs Red Ruby - 3.14 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide) characterized by its rich red color, which arises from chromium content. Standing alongside sapphire as one of the most valued gemstones, rubies have a storied history in jewelry and cultural symbolism, often associated with passion, vitality, and protection. This 3.14-carat ruby, certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), reflects the gemological standards of quality and authenticity. Rubies commonly hail from regions like Myanmar, Thailand, and Madagascar, with Burmese rubies particularly famed for their rich pigeon blood red hue. Their hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) makes them durable choices for various types of jewelry. Inclusions, which can be present, serve as fingerprints confirming natural origin. Rubies’ vibrant red continues to captivate gem enthusiasts who appreciate both their beauty and their lore.
