About Ruby

Ruby has long been considered the King of Gemstones! It is a gem that has no equal when it comes to the deep, powerful, rich red hues that glow and smoulder with an inner fire. In virtually every culture around the world there is knowledge and recognition of rubies and many stories and legends have grown around them. These precious gems have long been associated with powerful and prestigious people and have graced many a royal and successful hand. Rubies are also rare - genuinely rare, not like the manufactured rarity of diamonds! Fine rubies are highly sort and stones over two carat are considered scarce and big.

What I have listed here is just a small selection of the rubies that I have available. I am able to offer one of the best selections of top quality rubies to the public in Sydney. Viewings of these and other rubies is strictly by appointment only.

Photographing coloured gemstones is very challenging especially when trying to capture the beauty, richness and interplay of colours. Rubies ideally need to be seen in the hand to fully appreciate just how wonderful and unique they are. I have tried my best but the camera, lighting and my abilities can only do so much. Often in pics there might be certain hues which appear which simply are not in the gem when viewed in the hand or not as prominent or strong as the pics might suggest. However, I have found that if you like the picture you will love the gem.

It's something that you might only do once or twice in your life. This is an absolutely magnificent natural ruby gemstone from Mozambique.
