• Origin :

  Old Burmese Rubies are the epitome of Ruby quality and were the only producer of the legendary "Pigeon Blood Ruby" for many centuries. 1 Carat Burmese rubies are still intensely coveted, followed by other sources such as Mozambique and other locations in Africa, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. Burmese Rubies are the costliest, closely followed by the Mozambique variety, Thailand, etc.

• Color :

  Perfectly rich, clear, and even coloring is the usual pre-requisite for marking a Ruby as best quality. A color that fares well upon these conditions raises the 1 Carat Ruby worth enormously. 1 Carat Ruby can have the prestigious Pigeon blood color or other shades like vivid red, intense red, and basic red.

• Clarity :

  A natural Ruby can’t be without imperfections. Inclusions in a Ruby often signal it is natural and authentic, yet should be as minimal as possible, preferably eye clean. The value of 1-carat Ruby stones, which have eye-clean clarity, is the highest, which lowers as the number of inclusions increases.

• Cut :

  The Cut of a Ruby specimen can contribute significantly to its final price. When cut properly, most inclusions of the gem can be minimized, while its color, brightness, and scintillation can be substantially increased, lifting the cost of these 1 Carat Ruby stones. The usual cuts on these gemstones are Oval, Cushion, Pear, etc. A Heart Shape Ruby of 1 Carat is also a trendy Ruby-cut variety loved for its romantic appeal.

• Treatment :

  Certain ruby specimens are enhanced via artificial treatments like heating, irradiation, fracture or glass-filling, etc. These treatments can increase the value of the 1 Carat Ruby provided it wasn't naturally beautiful due to significant inclusions and imperfections. Heating enriches the color and decreases the appearance of inclusions, which adds to the gemstone's value.

Artificially enhanced or artificial Rubies don’t possess the metaphysical properties of a natural specimen and can only be worn for visual purposes.
