Ruby:
Passion, excitement, luxurious opulence.... these are just a few words that describe our fascination with this most precious of gems. For thousands of years, men have sought to own precious Rubies as symbols of devotion and objects of desire. Imperfections and impurities may be removed by controlled heating of the gemstones. Some Rubies have fissures on surface breaks that are filled with a glass-like byproduct of the heating process. Care should be observed when wearing fissure-filled rubies. This enhancement technique may wear over time if treated harshly or exposed to strong solvents or abrasives. Your jeweler will inform you of the best method to care for your natural gemstone treasures.
