Unheated Ruby vs Treated Ruby
Most rubies on the market are heat-treated to enhance color and clarity. Untreated ruby gemstones have not undergone heating, preserving their natural inclusions and original characteristics. Because of their rarity, unheated rubies are often more valuable than treated stones.
Ruby for Engagement Rings & Fine Jewelry
With a Mohs hardness of 9, ruby is one of the most durable gemstones, making untreated ruby suitable for engagement rings, custom rings, pendants, and heirloom jewelry pieces designed to last generations.
Certified & Fully Disclosed Rubies
Transparency is essential when buying high-value gemstones. Any available gemological reports or treatment information is clearly disclosed, ensuring you know exactly what you are purchasing.
Ruby Origin & Color
Untreated ruby gemstones are sourced from renowned deposits including Burma (Myanmar), Mozambique, and Madagascar. Colors range from vivid red to deep pigeon-blood tones, with natural inclusions that confirm authenticity.
Investment-Grade Untreated Ruby
Due to limited supply and increasing demand, untreated ruby gemstones are considered by many collectors to be investment-grade stones, especially in larger carat sizes with strong color and good clarity.
