Oval Genuine Ruby Cabochon

Known as the King of Gems in Sanskrit, ruby is one of the most desired and valuable gemstones, prized as far back as biblical times. Ruby is the most valuable variety of corundum and commands the highest per-carat price of any colored stone. The trace element chromium is responsible for ruby's signature color, which ranges from orangy red to purplish red—with pure, vivid red to slightly purplish red considered the most prized. These oval cabochons display a translucent to opaque, medium pinkish red tone and are heat-treated, a standard practice applied to nearly all rubies in today's market. Some eye-visible inclusions are to be expected, as inclusion-free rubies are exceptionally rare. Color zoning may be present in some individual stones.

These genuine ruby cabochons are well-suited for setting into rings, pendants, earrings, and other fine jewelry applications. Ruby also holds the distinction of being the birthstone for July.
