1.65 ct Red Ruby - Round

This 1.65-carat ruby is cut as a round measuring 5.5 x 3.5 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Burma.

Ruby and sapphire are the same mineral, corundum; the trade gives the red its own name, and the best of it commands prices few gems can match. Burma is the historic benchmark for ruby; Mogok reds are what the trade grades against, from deposits narrow enough to keep the name expensive. It is heated, a standard and stable treatment that we disclose plainly, the way an honest seller should.

One of a kind, it exists exactly once; there is no second example to size up or down. It is the rarer object, and the kind of gemstone that becomes an heirloom. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
