ruby jewelry

Ruby is a beautiful natural mineral that is especially popular in jewelry. It is known that the gem belongs to the precious stones of the first order, and therefore jewelry with it is a chic and status item, which not everyone can afford. Some rubies are valued more than diamonds.

What jewelry is made from ruby

Natural rubies have a pure red color without any tints. This gem, like a diamond, is very durable. The most common and popular are stones weighing 2 carats. However, there are also inserts of 5 carats, but so rarely that their value sometimes even exceeds the price of diamonds.

Ruby is very easy to process and cut, due to which the mineral is sometimes given a wide variety of shapes. In most cases, the final appearance of a gem is influenced by its shape and the quality of the cut. In this matter, great importance is attached to the symmetry of the faces, the correct proportions, the absence of chips and mechanical damage, as well as scratches. The cut itself is essential to the attractiveness of the stone. It is on her that the ability of the ruby ​​to refract light, to show brilliance and sparkle depends. In addition, the durability of the mineral also depends on the quality of work. It is worth noting that when choosing a shape for a ruby, jewelers often prefer a round shape. Nevertheless, you can buy a ruby ​​in all existing types of cut: marquise, emerald, oval, Usher, radiant, briolette, princess, diamond, wedge and others.

The metal for the gem is chosen exclusively noble - silver, gold, platinum. By design, these are more classic jewelry than fantasy ones. Ruby is a precious stone of the first order, so it is used exclusively in strict products that are designed to emphasize the status and impeccable taste of its owner.

What kind of jewelry is made with ruby? Yes, whatever! Exquisite earrings, elegant rings, chic bracelets, amazing brooches, luxurious necklaces and necklaces, unpretentious pendants, sophisticated pendants and much more. Very often, cufflinks, hairpins, piercing earrings, key rings are made to order.

If you have become the proud owner of a ruby ​​jewelry, you should remember that the ruby ​​is too bright and expressive to be a universal stone. When choosing clothes, you should be very competent and meticulous about your own appearance, it is important to take into account not only the time of day, but also the reason for which you are going to wear a product with a ruby.

Choice by individual parameters

On the shelves of jewelry stores you can find products for every taste. Sometimes it is very difficult to make a decision, because the choice is so diverse. The result of the purchase is usually determined by some factors.

Age

With regard to ruby, there is one unspoken rule: the older its owner, the larger the stone should be and the more solid its design. It is better for young people to give preference to small-sized minerals.

Large jewelry with a ruby ​​is appropriate only for solemn events, magnificent celebrations, official ceremonies. It is very important to take into account the status of the event, because in everyday life, massive ruby ​​jewelry is a sign of bad taste.

For women who have not yet crossed the age of 45, it is preferable to choose a medium-sized ruby. For ladies of a more respectable age - only a large stone in a solid frame. The form is better to choose a classic, symmetrical, without abstractions.

Appearance

Ruby jewelry is very capricious, so they are not suitable for everyone.

For brunettes with fair skin, dark red gems set in dark gold are best suited. For blondes with ashy overflow of hair, a ruby ​​of light shades in a frame of silver or gold is recommended. For brown-haired women with dark skin - any ruby ​​in any frame.

Bright products with a gem are not suitable:

• ladies with red hair, because the decoration can merge with the color of the curls;
• girls with blond hair and fair skin - their delicate appearance will simply fade against the background of a ruby;
• those who prefer a very dark skin tone;
• for women with a summer-type appearance, it is better to give preference to a frame made of white gold or platinum, for winter - pink or yellow gold, blackened silver.

Compatibility with other gems

Juicy red ruby ​​harmonizes best with transparent stones, but, of course, the ideal union is diamonds, pearls, zircon, sapphire, rock crystal, aventurine, opals.

Absolute incompatibility develops in a ruby ​​with aquamarine, garnet, rose quartz, heliotrope, moonstone, jasper.
