Ruby Faceted Stone

A Ruby faceted stone refers to a gem-quality Ruby that has been cut into a specific shape with multiple flat surfaces, called facets, to enhance its brilliance and beauty. Ruby is a precious gemstone and one of the four traditional "precious stones" along with diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds.

Rubies are the red variety of the mineral corundum, with the red color being caused by the presence of chromium in the crystal structure. The finest rubies display a rich, deep red color, often described as "pigeon's blood" red, and are highly prized for their rarity and beauty.

When a Ruby is faceted, skilled lapidaries cut and polish the gemstone to precise angles and proportions, allowing it to reflect and refract light, resulting in a dazzling sparkle. The most common shape for faceted rubies, and many other gemstones, is the round brilliant cut. However, rubies can also be found in a variety of other faceted shapes, including oval, cushion, pear, marquise, emerald, and others.

Ruby faceted stones are widely used in various types of high-end jewelry, including rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pendants. Due to their rarity and beauty, rubies are considered valuable gemstones, and their price can vary significantly depending on factors such as size, color, clarity, and overall quality of the cut.
