The ruby is one of the "Big 4" gemstones, along with diamonds, emeralds , and blue sapphires. It is known for its warm, vibrant, and unique red color. Its name is derived from the Latin "ruber," meaning the color red. According to history, the ruby embodies passion, love, and romance. Ancient Indians saw in it an everlasting inner fire that could grant longevity. In the Middle Ages, rubies were believed to bring luck in gambling and, like many other gemstones, to possess predictive powers. They supposedly darkened their color when misfortune was imminent.

The classic Rubin
The ruby – a gemstone in the characteristic color ruby red
All red gemstones from the corundum mineral group—which includes sapphire—are called rubies. The name ruby is derived from the Latin word for red, rubens, and in reference to the desirable gemstone, the name ruby red is commonly used for an intense, deep red color. However, the color palette in which a ruby can occur includes other shades, some of which may have orange or pink undertones—the most valuable, however, is pigeon blood red with a slight blue shimmer.
The ruby and its unique color spectrum
The ruby is one of the most expensive and rarest gemstones - much rarer than the diamond. The pure red tones in particular are very limited and therefore very special. One optical phenomenon that can be observed in a ruby is so-called pleochroism. This means that a gemstone's color varies depending on the direction from which it is viewed. The ruby is only about eighty percent pure red and has a secondary tone of orange, pink or violet. The color range typical for a ruby therefore ranges from yellow-red to deep red.
The importance of the clarity and cut of a ruby
Colored gemstones are divided into three categories based on their clarity, with rubies being Type II, where internal inclusions are the norm. Clear rubies without inclusions are virtually unobtainable. As with many gemstones, rubies are considered to be the most valuable if they exhibit the highest possible transparency. Impurities, however, do not equate to inferior quality; rather, they can transform a ruby into a truly enchanting, unique piece – provided they are not too large or conspicuous and do not negatively impact the gemstone's durability. A carefully executed, perfectly symmetrical facet cut can truly showcase the beauty of a ruby.
Attractive lighting effects on a ruby
Due to inclusions in the form of rutile needles, rubies can exhibit certain light effects. For example, some rubies exhibit a cat's eye effect, which is characterized by a narrow, bright stripe of light moving across the surface when the gemstone is moved. In special cases, three lines intersecting at a single point form the shape of a six-pointed star, an optical phenomenon known as an asterism. Surface iridescence can also occur, giving the ruby a silky shimmer.
