Rubin Ketten – die zeitlose Eleganz roter Edelsteine
A ruby necklace is far more than just a piece of jewelry, it gracefully embodies the beauty and elegance of love, passion and power. In the multifaceted world of jewelry, genuine rubies enjoy immense popularity due to their vibrant color and symbolic meaning.
These precious gemstones, set in a stylish ruby necklace, offer an exquisite addition to any outfit and add a special touch to any occasion.
The following article will provide you with valuable insights and fascinating details about the mysterious red gemstone that touches the hearts of collectors and jewelry lovers alike.
Die Faszination einer Kette mit Rubin
In mineralogical terms, ruby belongs to the corundum family, a group of particularly hard and precious minerals. Interestingly, however, ruby was only officially recognized as an independent variety of corundum at the beginning of the 19th century and is characterized by its striking red color, which is caused by the chemical compound chromium it contains.
Until then, red gemstones were often referred to indiscriminately as carbuncle stones, regardless of whether they were rubies, garnets or spinels.
The term carbuncle alone has a special fascination. The sonorous name conjures up images of mysterious beauty, glowing fire and the irrepressible power of nature, which fire the imagination and inspire stories.
The color intensity of the ruby can vary from blood red to burgundy red, with the most valuable rubies having a deep, rich red hue.
Die Qualität einer Rubin Halskette im Überblick
When buying a genuine ruby necklace, pay attention to its quality.
Most rubies on the market today have been treated in some way. It is therefore important to pay close attention in the description to which treatments are specified or which may not be mentioned.
Many dealers consider a heat-treated ruby to be an untreated ruby, as the so-called "burning" of rubies is a standard procedure today. Completely untreated rubies are an absolute rarity.
In addition, factors such as color, clarity, cut and carat weight significantly determine the value of these red gemstones. Rubies can be subjected to various color treatments to significantly change their appearance.
- Heat: By heating ruby, a much more intense red color can be achieved, while at the same time reducing cracks and fractures within the stone.
- Rubies filled with colored glass - known as "glass filled" - have a much more intense coloration as cracks and fractures are filled with red glass to give them a clearer and more transparent appearance.
- Opaque and poor quality rubies can simply be colored red.
- Synthetic rubies
It is very important to us to use natural rubies for our ruby necklaces. These gemstones are often not completely transparent, but translucent, and they present a variety of different shades of red.
You will find precise information on quality and any treatments in the respective item description.
For us, it is not only the external beauty of the gemstones that is important, especially the ruby necklaces, but also the power and vibrations that emanate from untreated gemstones. The energy and power of the genuine ruby remains unchanged in an untreated natural gemstone.
Echte Rubine und ihre Herkunft
There are various countries of origin for the coveted red gemstones:
- Myanmar, formerly Burma, is known for producing particularly beautiful rubies with an intense red color and high transparency. Myanmar is famous for its rubies.
- Thailand has always been the land of rubies and sapphires. However, the deposits have been virtually exhausted for a long time. However, the gemstone qualities of rubies are still processed at the famous gemstone market in Chanthaburi.
- Sri Lanka - Genuine rubies from Sri Lanka are often called "Ceylon rubies". The red gemstones are known for their delicate, reddish-pink hue and high purity.
- Madagascar - In Africa, there are well-known ruby sites in Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya. For gemstone necklaces made from natural rubies, the stones very often come from Madagascar.

The ruby has a Mohs hardness of 9 and is therefore only one level below the diamond, making it one of the hardest gemstones.
A genuine ruby necklace always has inclusions, which are also an indication of its authenticity.

We are not only concerned with the external beauty of our gemstones and ruby necklaces in particular. Rather, we also value the energetic power and vibrations that emanate from untreated gemstones. The energy of the genuine ruby remains undiminished in its natural, unaltered form and lends each piece of jewelry a special meaning.
If a ruby has been treated, this is also indicated in the item description.
A fascinating special form is the so-called star ruby, which stands out from the crowd due to its unique optical effect - known as asterism.
The effect is created by the targeted appearance of rutile needles, which are arranged in at least two different directions within the crystal.
This creates a star-shaped pattern that is particularly impressive under optimal lighting. Star rubies can have stars with six, four or, in extremely rare cases, even twelve rays.
However, this special effect only unfolds in cabochon-cut gemstones, as only this cut shapes the surface in such a way that the light is ideally reflected.
Star rubies are not usually used in necklaces, however, as the beautiful effect does not come into its own here.
