I had a breathtaking ruby that fluoresced in sunlight. Set in a ring, I would moved or place my hand without pre-thought, and was struck each time with the unbelievable color flash that almost stopped me in my tracks. My beloved late husband bought it for me, and could not have chosen anything that would be a more enduring source of delight for me. It was a pure deep (not dark) true red, cut in a slightly oval cut, and I cannot imagine any other inanimate object I could enjoy more. Value? Haven’t a real clue. It was bought in Thailand, if he knew the origin location I never heard about it. Some things are beyond price or the need to boast. Thanks for your work
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Trevor Ares i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Rubies are hands down my favorite stones. I have a small one and I enjoy it. Love to look at the ones I can't afford as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
ive been researching gemstones for fun and learning about the intricacies is really astounding. im a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information to learn but also excited. thanks for the video
Me as well… I started a search for a ‘Decent’ natural ruby for a birthstone ring about 8, Eight! Years ago. 😞 OMG, the stuff I have learned about rubies. I now wish I was born in another Month! 🤦🏻♀️
I like your teaching style. Some people praise RUclips for fast talkers but I like something a little slower. To give the viewer a chance to think, especially when getting so much new information. Thanks ❤
Thank you so much for the video, there is a Madagascar Ruby I really want for my birthday! I'm really excited and I hope I get it. Ruby is my favorite type of gem!! 😁❤
Finally, someone has given great information on my favorite, sometimes forgotten, gemstone my birthstone, rubies. I bought my ruby earrings and ruby ring from the Bahamas which my hubby purchased an upgrade on my earrings just recently since he lost my ruby pair earrings he purchased on our honeymoon, 21 years ago. I love my upgraded ruby earrings with halo diamonds around it~ It makes me feel like a princess 👸~❤
Thank you for the video. Rubies have it all. They are hard and durable enough for daily wear. Wonderful glowing red color, good sparkle, and I can't think of a more romantic center stone for an engagement ring. If the price for quality natural stones is too high then there are lab grown rubies with perfect color, clarity, and cut that are very affordable. Didn't know about the tabular crystallization habit so I learned something new. Would love to watch a video on synthetic corundum and emerald.
Thank you. Very informative. My birthstone is ruby, and I have bought Garnett by accident. It’s not that bigger a problem as the ring is still pretty. Now I know what to look for
Just BEWARE of glass filled junk. They will take ruby, near waste product, super-heat it, add red glass and VOILA! They now have sparkly “Burma Ruby” that no longer has its original crystal structure, has added carat weight in Glass 😟, and they are not mohs #9 hard anymore… And it is VERY hard for people to catch this. This has actually Inflated the price of a good, natural, GIA lab inspected ruby or sapphire. 😭. This has negatively affected the retail buying power of common-folks like me who simply want a decent 1.5 or 2 Carat Birthstone ring.
Andrew, thank you to bring us this lovely video, very clear message and informative for Ruby gemstone , looking forward for your next ruby video if you have time. all the best ! thanks
I love the hunt. Thanks for the info. I could have used you a couple thousand dollars ago. Haha you live and learn. I jumped on every opportunity in america I could. The chase now is stones in settings.
My husband and I celebrated our 40th Valentine Wedding Anniversary this year. He gave me the most beautiful ruby surrounded by diamonds. It was beautiful but I didn't ask details. Oh my goodness I have a beautiful fluoresced stone too, it does flash with light, like my heart does for him every time our eyes meet. Together 17,500 days if only we could have 17,500 more.
@@k.hendrickson8735 if the color falls too pale, they aren’t considered emerald anymore but green beryl. I like seeing translucency and inclusions in emeralds.
Regarding the "trust" aspect... I'd be interested in hearing your perspective on small, independent jewellers versus some of the larger jewellery chains or franchises. (Personally I always tend to trust jewellers more if they do custom pieces; then I know I'm dealing with a crafts-person and not just a re-seller - but I'm sure that's not always completely reliable.)
@@YourAverageJeweler I actually have a great local jeweller - and she's not even that expensive for custom pieces compared to off-the-rack factory-made jewellery. She makes most of her income from factory-made jewellery, but she seems to love commissions and is great at saying "okay, so that's what you want. Now, THIS is actually what you should have!" Because a good designer, architect or jeweller should not just give the customer what they want, but suggest what they didn't realise they wanted/needed. But clearly I need to watch more of your back catalogue of videos. Even the information I don't *need* is interesting and good infotainment. Your videos make for good company over morning coffee.
I love rubies and have it and diamonds in my engagement ring. Interesting that rubies used to be the birthstone for many months including December which is my birth month.
Corundum is a family of gemstones, 9 value of hardness in the Mohs scale (way of measurement of gemstones). Like morganites, emeralds, and aquamarines are Beryls, also another family, 7.5 Mohs. Rubies are beautiful, indeed. 🙏🏻
Just finding this now. I inherited a large “ruby” ring my grandmother wore everyday. The stone was put in the setting in the ‘50s probably. We always assumed it was fake- a high quality plastic of sorts. Having started on a gem/crystal interest myself now, I returned to it. First thing I did was put it under UV. It glows something fantastic. Imagine my surprise! My question, though, is can lab tests determine a lab created vs real ruby? Do they carbon date, I guess I’m saying? And rubies are up there on the hardness scale, but would it be possible to still have visible scratches? That’s why I thought it was fake in the first place (maybe it’s just 70 years of wear and tear!?) How much do those lab tests cost? I’m so nervous leaving it with someone I don’t know. 😬. But If it is a real one, I’m now thinking my insurance needs to be updated. It really is quite large - flat and unusual shaped- and is also set with (her) previous wedding diamonds. Thanks!
haha i had no idea rubies are like, so related to sapphires. steven universe makes more sense now! also, i was really hoping to get a clear answer on pricing! i’m really interested in how rubies are priced
People spend a lifetime on that topic. As stones get nicer, the subtle and nuanced things that contribute to price are harder to determine. Also, determining how much treatment they have been through, in addition to the other factors...it's complicated to say the least. I can give you basics, but you really need to spend time with a lot of different stones before understanding how to value them. With time and experience, everything becomes more clear. thanks for watching and best of luck.
I inherited a pigeon blood ruby ring / matching earrings,that has a orange and yellow fire when I put it under my microscope and look at it through the lens . I believe it's a pigeon blood ruby , I have the matching earrings. got matching earrings I believe the Middle Stone is 1 carat and the rest of the stones are like maybe 16 more Stones they're probably half carats the same with the earrings. If I sent you pictures could someone please help me to identify what these are? 17:24
Nice, i just order thru a well know source a nice buddha beads. Crystal clear citrine and a large ruby guru bead. Have not received it but the pictures show me that the light passes thru with the flash. No shiny parts, and the lab report shows no treatment. My first ruby since my class ring. When i get it, do i look out for the same as my jade peices? Awsome video.
New subscriber here and I was going to ask if the ring i have with ruby’s in would fluoresced under a uv black light, it really turned them bright red and was this right or is it garnets? Loved the video and will be watching your other videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍👏👏💖💖
Hi Andrew, I have a few rubies that were acquired in Mogok, Myanmar. Those stones came with lab reports from a certified Gemologist from the Mogok area, and he graded those stone as pigeons blood red rubies from Mogok area and with no indication of heat treatment. Bases on my understanding, his criteria is kind of Mogok local criteria, and he only gives stone with very strong saturation the color grading of pigeons blood red, a stricter criteria than the GRS bases on my understanding. I wonder how gemologists here in the US view lab reports from Mogok area? Shall I get them re-appraised by a gemologist in the US or some institution like GIA? Thank you
Learned a couple new things about my favorite gemstone. Didn't know about the crystal shape, sometimes absent fluorescence and lead glass filling. I really enjoy synthetic rubies because I can get them, big, clean and with rich color saturation. Flame fusion ones fluoresce like a car tail light making them very glowy in strong light. One of my favorite rings is a big transparent lab star ruby. It's very red and has a reflection of the star so I see a white star and a red star.
You almost have to search for synthetic rubies because atleast you know it’s less likely to be faked. there’s soo many tricks that people play with rubies. Red Garnet is another great stone to look into
Thanks for sharing another fabulous, educational video. A question, if you don't mind. I am a collector of gemstones and have some fabulous pieces in my collection. Would like to sell them now. But need a buyer that can really appreciate good stones. Need your guidance on it. Thanks
In the mid-sixties I found a ring in a river in the UK. It is 9ct yellow gold with a cabochon red stone in my mother always told me was a Garnet. Anyway in 1997 I gave it to my new wife as a wedding ring because she found it in my old box and loved it. About 1999-2000 I had a jeweller take a look at it and he was shocked. He said you realise what this is?! It’s a flawless Ruby! I was like WTF! He said this has zero inclusions BUT Rubies were the first stones to be grown in labs so MAYBE it not natural. I said it’s from the 60’s and he said even then they could do that. I couldn’t believe a flawless Ruby would be in 9ct gold so was sceptical. Another Jeweller confirmed the stone was Ruby but said he would have to take it out of the ring to be sure if it is lab grown or natural 🤷🏼♂️. I didn’t let him. Can you throw any light on this?
I've been in the market for a pretty ruby, most are way over my budget. My question is, can they heat a darker pink sapphire making it look red, and selling it as a ruby? Just a note, I was able to buy an emerald after watching your last video. Not sure of its treatments but it is pretty. Hunting for that beautiful ruby. Lots of good info, thank you
Heat treatment alone is usually not enough to change a pink sapphire to a ruby. Heat treatment more often evens out the color. You would need to add something(like a dye) in most cases. Nice ruby(especially natural) will be pricey. Best of luck, and i'm glad you have been learning here!
There are several treatments today now being used. There are several types of diffusion, irradiation, hydrothermal techniques. Many lower the value. Putting lipstick on a pig... There are many reputable Co's on Facebook, Etsy yes even Ebay. They're a platform like the gem markets in streets of Bangkok etc. You have to be careful. Anywhere. I deal w CeylonBluestone/ Gemalliance/Glorious85. I have other personal contacts. Good prices. They won't deal w gen public. Youre not getting gen Ruby right now for less than $800/ ct the larger the stone the higher the pr ct price. (1ct =$800+ pr/ct. But a 3 ct stone will be $2400+ pr/ct etc) If its $29/ct rediculously low price, its synthetic, lab. AdirondackJewels NY. Hand crafted Custom Jeweler.
Woow one of best Explanation! as sapphire specialist you pick most of the important tips to discuss and everything well detailed i guess muzambic is producing larger quantities of Rubys recently very pretty as good as burma I would prefer calling Padhaprcha as king sapphire because its more expensive than ruby what you think of that ? plz correct me if am wrong 😅 by the way cheers and good luck for future videos

One of the best Ruby s video !
To me, the most important information you give concerns the treatment of the gems and the considerations and questions to ask on purchasing a stone.
That’s the BIGGEST thing I agave learned about rubies - treatments. 😤
Excellent and well thought out guide, thanks !

But have to say, love those paler, slightly teal-blue emeralds… don’t know why, they are not the ideal, I know- Just love the odd colors.

There are several treatments today now being used. There are several types of diffusion, irradiation, hydrothermal techniques. Many lower the value. Putting lipstick on a pig...
There are many reputable Co's on Facebook, Etsy yes even Ebay. They're a platform like the gem markets in streets of Bangkok etc. You have to be careful. Anywhere. I deal w CeylonBluestone/ Gemalliance/Glorious85. I have other personal contacts. Good prices. They won't deal w gen public.
Youre not getting gen Ruby right now for less than $800/ ct the larger the stone the higher the pr ct price. (1ct =$800+ pr/ct. But a 3 ct stone will be $2400+ pr/ct etc) If its $29/ct rediculously low price, its synthetic, lab.
