What are The Properties of Ruby?

Well, Rubies are always one color red; however, within this hue, there is some variance in color saturation and lightness or darkness of the stone. As for Rubies hardness, it is durable and earned itself a 9 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. Making it excellent for daily wear and any jewelry application.

What designs are Good for 1 - 2 Carat Rubies?

Rings are probably one of the most traditional uses of a High-quality Ruby. The second application would probably be to display a stone this magnificent in a pendant with a Pave setting.

Besides these recommendations, earrings, brooches, necklaces, and many more designs are possible.

When purchasing loose stones remember that once a stone is mounted in jewelry and completed in an appropriate design the appearance of the color and size of the stone will enhance.

I fell in love with my beautiful blue turquoise stone. When I received the stone it is more beautiful than the picture showed. I can hardly wait to design my pendant!)

I was looking for a gemstone called Sphene/Titanite and found it on GemSelect. They had many gems to choose from and had good prices. I received my order a little later than expected but given that it's coming from overseas I wasn't too worried. The 2 gems I received are beautiful. I have to say that I have no gem knowledge- I am a novice and I ordered the Sphene for healing purposes, so I am hoping they are real. I have no way of confirming if that is true. But they are beautiful!
