What Is Ruby Heat Only?
Ruby heat only gemstones are natural rubies that have undergone standard heat treatment to improve color and clarity, without any glass filling, beryllium diffusion, or chemical additives. Heat treatment is a widely accepted and permanent enhancement in the ruby trade.
Natural Heated Ruby - No Glass Filling
Our heat only ruby selection contains stones that are not fracture-filled and not diffusion treated. This makes them a preferred choice for buyers seeking traditional, untreated-appearance rubies with full treatment transparency.
Why Choose Heat Only Ruby?
Heat only ruby stones maintain the natural structure of corundum while improving vibrancy and reducing visible inclusions. Compared to heavily treated rubies, they offer stronger long-term value, better durability, and higher market acceptance.
Ruby Heat Treatment Explained
Standard heat treatment involves heating rubies at high temperatures to enhance color and clarity. No foreign materials are introduced, and the treatment is stable and permanent. This differs significantly from glass-filled or diffusion-treated rubies.
Heat Only Ruby for Jewelry
With a Mohs hardness of 9, ruby heat only gemstones are ideal for rings, earrings, pendants, and fine jewelry. Their durability and classic red color make them suitable for daily wear and heirloom designs.
Wholesale Ruby Heat Only Stones
GemSelect offers individual stones and wholesale ruby heat only options for jewelers and collectors. Choose from various shapes, sizes, calibrated stones, and matched pairs with worldwide shipping.

Great! Affordable
Overall Rating -> 10
My experience has always been fantastic. Today I saved 6 gems to email a customer looking for a particular color blend to fit into an east west setting, so her options were limited, but we found one she wanted, deleted all the others in the cart and order the gem she selected. It was helpful to be able to put them in the cart so I could save them until she selected the one she wanted without having to research all of them again.

They have a wonderful selection of gems of all sorts, shapes, cuts, and quality. I am very particular about the quality of stones I buy, and found many with VVS clarity and excellent cut and polish. I am thrilled with each of the stones I purchased, and would definitely recommend GemSelect to everyone.
