Four factors affecting the level and price of ruby ​​collection

“Ruby and diamonds, sapphires and emeralds are known as the world's four gems. Are there more gems than diamonds? The price of rubies has been so in recent years. From 2008 to the present, the overall increase in diamond prices is about It is 30% to 50%, but the price of high-quality rubies has increased by at least 70% to 100% from 2008 to the present.

Carat number

High quality rubies rarely have large carats. Rubies above 3 carats are very rare, and those above 5 carats are extremely rare. In general, when the ruby ​​is larger than 2 carats, the price will vary greatly, and below 1 carat, there is no strong collection value.

Good cuts increase gem value

Good cutting can not only make the gemstones shine, but also enhance the value of the gem. Ruby standard cutting is different from diamond. Ruby does not have geometric design for maximum brilliant. For brighter rubies, the best cutting should be lighter than the average, so that more light passes through the gem. Lighter, deeper cuts help to reflect color. A well-cut ruby ​​reflects light evenly across the entire surface. In addition, a well-cut ruby ​​does not show a ribbon that often appears in corundum crystals. This ribbon usually indicates that the cutter wants to retain the weight rather than cutting out the most beautiful gemstone as much as possible.

Identify true and false rubies

There are two cases of fake rubies: the first is a low-grade red-colored jewel as a ruby, and the fake ruby ​​has no ruby-specific color and light. The second is artificial ruby. Artificial rubies are very similar to natural rubies in terms of specific gravity, hardness, and color.

Method 1: Select cubic zirconia with a hardness of 8.5, and use the edges and corners of the gemstone to be tested to divide the cubic zirconia. The person who can be swiped is true, and the person who can't swipe is false. Hardness identification makes it easy to distinguish true rubies from red gems. However, it is harmful to other red stones, so use it with caution.

Method 2: Integrate the optical properties and fluorescence of ruby, first check with a portable money detector to eliminate all red gems that cannot emit red light. At this point, the red light may be ruby ​​or red spinel. Then observe the optical properties, single rainbow is red spinel, double rainbow is ruby.

The hardness and optical properties of artificial rubies and natural rubies are basically the same, and it is difficult for primary collectors to distinguish between the two. Natural rubies often contain natural flaws such as cracks, lines, cotton, etc.; artificial texture is more uniform. In long-wave UV light, the red fluorescence of artificial rubies is much brighter than natural rubies.

Ruby collection conditions

Four factors that affect the level and price of rubies:

colour

It is best to VIVIDRED or RED;

Impurity

It is better if it is invisible to the naked eye;

carat

It must be at least 1 carat to have a collection value;

Cutting aspects:

At least 40% of the fire must be.

In addition, the origin of rubies is also very important. Pigeon'sBlood Origin: Burma Myanmar's pigeon blood ruby ​​is the most commercially valuable, so merchants will issue certificates for GRS and other authorities for the corresponding gemstones, and clearly marked in the Origin column: Burma (Mogok, Myanmar) ). When reading a gemstone certificate, the Comment section is essential, and the Noindication of thermaltreatment is used to indicate that the pigeon's blood ruby ​​has not been artificially optimized.

Ruby Assessment Professional Certificate

Burmese ruby ​​with GIA monograph report

Currently the most recognized on the international market is the certificate issued by the GRS (GemResearchSwiss) Swiss Gem Research Institute, which was founded in 1996 by Dr.A.

Founded by Peretti, the certificate is characterized by the origin and optimization of rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other gemstones. Currently there are only laboratories in Bangkok and Hong Kong, Thailand. Of course, some merchants will also provide a certificate issued by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Gemological Institute, but there is no indication of the origin of the gemstone. Because the ruby ​​is produced in a single place, the GRS certificate is relatively more comprehensive.
