A Beautiful Siam Ruby (Natural) Victorian Bangle in 18ct(Tested) Gold with Certificate from GCS stating it is Natural, with no indication of heating or treatment and there are approximately 7.8cts in Total as per GCS Certification (Gemmological Certification Services). Natural, untreated Rubies are getting rarer as the mines in Cambodia, Siam and Burma have become depleted in the 1980’s. A good investment for stones that are getting rarer and harder to find by the day. The Rubies are of a ‘wine’ colour hue and are ‘Old cuts’ set with claws. The clasp presses in to secure and there is a safety chain present.
The name “Ruby” is believed to be derived from the Latin ruber, a word for red. According to Oriental beliefs, ruby is the gem of the sun. It is also the birthstone of July.
Rubies are now the most sought-after of gems, the most valued collectable among the earth's family of precious coloured stones. Hard assets like diamonds, rubies are sought not only for their beauty but as a hedge against an inflationary world economy. Unlike diamonds, however, rubies are not controlled by a modern, giant empire such as De Beers Consolidated. The primary source of stones is in the malarial forests of Southeast Asia, where mining methods have not advanced beyond pouring water on a hillside or sifting gravel in a stream. More important, the area's political instability is constricting the supply. The more the market realizes how scarce high quality rubies are, the higher their value rises.
Rubies are 40 times more times rarer than Diamonds.
