2 pcs Red Ruby - 1.54 ct - Instituto Gemólogico Español (IGE) - Minor / Moderate

Rubies are among the most prized of all gemstones, famed for their rich red color, which results from the presence of chromium. The stones labeled here as 'Red Ruby' totaling 1.54 carats have been assessed by the Instituto Gemológico Español (IGE), a respected entity in gem certification. Rubies are a variety of the mineral corundum and are second only to diamonds in hardness, making them durable for fine jewelry. Quality rubies are judged by color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, with the deepest, most vivid reds often commanding the highest prices. The mention of 'Minor / Moderate' likely refers to the level of inclusions or clarity characteristics seen within these stones, indicating some internal features but not severe. Collectors and jewelers appreciate rubies for both their beauty and symbolic associations with passion, vitality, and protection.
