Ruby comes from the Latin "ruber" meaning red, and they can come in a variety of different shades. Rubies can be anything from a deep rich red to a more pinkish tone. Early records also see rubies called “Ratnaraj” in Sanskrit, meaning “King of Gems”.
Rubies are made of corundum and get their signature red colour from trace amounts of chromium.

Ruby measures 9 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, second only to diamond and matched with sapphire. This makes ruby an extremely hard and durable gemstone.

Almost all rubies have flaws. Rubies without imperfections are exceptionally rare and oftentimes command prices even higher than diamonds of a similar weight and quality.

Red spinel was assumed to be a ruby until scientists discovered it was a completely different gemstone in the late 18th century! One of the most famous examples of this mistaken identity is the “The Black Prince’s Ruby”, a 170-carat irregular spinel bead that has been in the British Royal Family’s possession since 1367.

In 2011, an 8.24-carat ruby ring belonging to Elizabeth Taylor and made by Van Cleef & Arpels sold at auction for $4.2 million, with the price per carat amounting to approximately $500,000!
