Ruby

Ruby is the red variety of corundum. Its rich red appearance makes it a recognised choice for statement rings, pendants and special-occasion jewellery. Hardness helps explain its resistance to scratching, but toughness, treatments and setting design still matter for everyday care.

Red gemstones have featured in royal and ceremonial jewellery across different cultures. Ruby is commonly used to express affection and commitment, a tradition rather than a scientifically measurable property.

Choose the style and setting to suit the specific stone, treatment information and intended use.

Rinse gently and inspect the setting. Treatments can change suitable cleaning methods, so confirm any disclosures before ultrasonic or steam cleaning.
