Ruby Diamond Necklace

High-end ruby diamond necklace

A precious ruby necklace with diamonds let you shine actually the real thing is when ruby stones are paired with diamonds. 


Both are not attractive when they get mined but when cut, facets applied and polished they can become fascinating jewelry of many variants such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, pendants, brooches and more. These pretty gems are either natural or synthetic (simulated) and usually set in white and yellow gold.

There are two main versions of the gemstones the ones mined in Mogok Myanmar (Burma) and the other. The gems found there are a bit different in their physical composition and often clear.

Although all red stones have inclusions the combination of clarity and color (pigeon blood color) is unmatched and that's the reason why they are so expensive it is somehow similar to jadeite which is much superior to nephrite for the parameter, the latter is also known as "Chinese Jade".

Natural ruby rings are some of the highly sought jewelry worldwide, mostly for women but also men wear them with a few smaller diamonds around.

Natural ruby necklaces get very expensive quick since it always includes diamonds and gold for the setting.

Natural ruby earrings make every woman shine maybe it needs dangling style otherwise they won't be visible.

About fine corundum, with many colors and paired with diamonds with the dedication to make women shine and after they feel good and maybe even attract the men better.

When looking through web pages you often will see differences of thousands of dollars although the stones are similar sized and won't look bad. There is two more parameter which is similarly important as the size this is clarity and fluorescent, the fact is that only Mogok Rubies show this on an interesting level especially the clarity is very important. Although there are no rubies without inclusions but the transparency level is very important, it somehow is similar to jade the more transparency the stone has the higher the price is.

Fascinating natural ruby jewelry

This makes some of the red stones even more valuable than diamonds with the same parameter. But another fact is rubies are usually paired with diamonds to make them sparkling jewelry since the red stones by themselves have no "fire".

What about Ruby jewelry in a modern style? 

Just imagine such a fascinating clear ruby paired with some diamonds and set on a white or yellow gold ring, that's real pretty stuff. In general when buying the red gems as jewelry make sure to have some "sparkler" around because the ruby itself has no fire it's the diamond which delivers and it probably matches yellow gold best.


The main consideration when shopping for this cute little things is should it be a cabochon or faceted. Many buyer prefer the deep red mystic red of cabochons to the other. Also think about taking a top notch Burmese (Myanmar) red stone or maybe a African having a immense difference in prices because of the clear issue and other property.

Ask the store if the gemstone is heat treated or other "enhancements" this is really necessary when you would like to enjoy your little jewelry for many years to comeAlthough maybe they wont tell the true anyway but if they say no have it written down when you buy. In Chanthaburi they are rather honest but in Bangkok they always lie on this subject because the price difference between enhanced and not is tremendous.

There is much more buyer from the Indian subcontinent in Chanthaburi then in Bangkok since they are mostly honest. I think the reason is if a buyer sits down at the "gem alley" he / she gets a local person with the table they use for the transaction and they look after that there is no cheat.

They take this serious, which is a good sign since in Thailand betraying people, not only foreigner, is rather normal they have a real problem to keep the true and the cheat apart. Better read this for heat advancements, there are some more things for surface repair, actually after the heat treatment is done it stay's there is no degrading after a while. But with all other stuff it takes around 3 years after you can take it and throw it away.

About genuine ruby rings, the best is probably to visit Myanmar's Bogyoke Market, the gems are much more expensive than elsewhere but they are not treated. But only when bought by a government registered jewelry stores where is can be traced. When having a look around one will find some people in the open outside space who try to sell the stones out from the pocket which is a very risky thing. They also have cabochons and it needs some investigations. Because they are real genuine and natural it is a different level of buying.

Many other purposes are possible which can create emotions. Never forget the diamonds around, as men, you might be focused on the main subject which is the gemstone but as women, she wants to make it shine and for that, it needs some smaller diamonds.

Although the white clear stones are expensive but having some smaller one can offset budget constrains the biggest problem associated with this gems is its price.
It could be a good idea to browse the internet for ring design inspirations with a natural ruby.

Here are almost endless eye-catching samples to find gemstone beauty and attraction, keep in mind your loved one want to stand out from the crowd and want to shine. It should be charming with a passionate flavor and affordable so no need to loot your bank-account.

The tendency in the low price ring segment and other is to use gold plated metal as setting plus cheaper stones and often Swarovsky elements with red color as lower price ruby replacement. From the natural side, the gems mostly come from Madagascar and are more or less opaque with faceting. Actually, most people who search for red jewelry a ruby is a centerpiece and there is no much discussion about the property of the gem, the most important subject does it optically look pretty.

Because this has become a fashion item which will be replaced next month anyway, maybe a new color is "in", the buyer is not so much interested in the physical details but is it appealing? Does it shine, get it attention from others and similar thoughts. The market turnover has changed in resent decades into a "quickie" in search of the latest hype.


A great help to keep beauty manageable is for sure the use of red synthetic stones, also defined as created, CZ, simulated ruby and more.It has become a pure consumer good without a lot of thinking before buying just like visiting the supermarket. This is probably the result of the internet, everything is quick and virtual because what people see on the monitor screen is in reality quite different to what they finally get and to accept this has also something to do with the price.
