Things to Consider when Buying a Ruby

There are certain things to be considered when buying a ruby:

• The Colour: The gemstone usually comes in different shades of red. Though the shade you want depends on your personal choice, the purity of a ruby depends on how deep the colour is.
• The Clarity: It is very important to check the clarity of the ruby from its ability to reflect light. Always remember that a ruby of high quality is always eye-clean – no visible flaws to the naked eye.
• The Cut: When buying a gemstone, it is important to check out the stone’s cut and quality. The main reason for checking the cut proportion is because it is the cut that determines how appealing the stone looks. The cut will also determine its clarity, i.e. the cut proportions of the ruby will determine how it reflects light and its sparkling nature. If the cut of the gemstone is wrong, it may be prone to chipping and breaking. This makes it very important to check the cut of the gemstone.

Keeping all this in mind, look for symmetry, lustre and transparency of the stone.
