Which color would you
spontaneously associate with love and vivacity, passion and power? It's
obvious, isn't it? Red.
Red is the color of love. It
radiates warmth and a strong sense of vitality. And red is also the color of
the ruby, the king of the gemstones. In the fascinating world of gemstones, the
ruby is the undisputed ruler.
For thousands of years, the ruby has been
considered one of the most valuable gemstones on Earth. It has everything a
precious stone should have magnificent color, excellent hardness and
outstanding brilliance. In addition to that, it is an extremely rare gemstone,
especially in its finer qualities.
So ruby red is not just any old color, no, it
is undiluted, hot, passionate, powerful color. Like no other gemstone, the ruby
is the perfect way to express powerful feelings. Instead of symbolizing a calm,
controlled affection, a ring set with a precious ruby bear witness to that
passionate, unbridled love that people can feel for each other.
The journey to the world's most important ruby
deposits takes us further on to the small town of Mong Hsu in the North-East of
Myanmar, where the most important ruby deposits of the nineties lie. since
untreated Mong Hsu ruby crystals actually display two colors: a purple to black
core and a bright red periphery. Only when it had been discovered that the dark
core could be turned into deep red by means of heat treatment did rubies from
Mong Hsu begin to find their way on to the jewelry market. Today, the
Mong Hsu gemstone mines are still among the most important ruby suppliers. In
the main, they offer heat-treated rubies in sizes between 0.5 and 3 carats.
However, a perfect ruby is as rare as perfect
love. If you do come across it, it will cost a small fortune. But when you have
found 'your' ruby, don't hesitate, hang on to it!
