gemstone. The per-carat prices of fine-quality
rubies have been rising eternally.
For better-quality material, modest differences in
color can make remarkable differences in value.
The per-carat price of ruby can also increase
completely as size increases, especially for better-
quality stones.

THE CO LO R O F RUBY
4. People in the trade expect rubies to have at least some
inclusions because inclusion-free rubies are practically
nonexistent.
Ruby value can depend on how visible the inclusions are.
Obvious inclusions, or inclusions that reduce
transparency or brightness, lower a ruby’s value
completely.
if large and eminent inclusions are located under the
table facet, they greatly diminish the transparency,
brilliance, and value of the stone.

5. Ruby rough is very expensive, so many cutters try
to conserve as much weight as possible.
They might fashion flattened ruby rough into
shallow stones, even though light escapes through
flattened pavilions, causing an unattractive see-
through area in the stone called a window.
The most common shapes of fashioned rubies are
ovals and cushions, with brilliant-cut crowns of
kite-shaped and triangular facets, and step-cut
pavilions with concentric rows of rectangular or
square facets.
