Composed of man-made corundum with the same chemical composition and durability as natural ruby, these oval lab-created ruby cabochons offer excellent clarity with vivid, even coloration. 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 its characteristic color, which ranges from orangy red to purplish red—with pure, vivid red to slightly purplish red being the most highly valued.
These lab-created stones are an excellent choice for jewelers and metalsmiths seeking consistent color, reliable clarity, and a cost-effective alternative to mined ruby for production work or resale. Clean with warm, soapy water; use of an ultrasonic or steam cleaner is generally considered safe.
