Ultimate Guide: Picking Perfect Rubies, Emeralds & Sapphires with GemmyJimmy#jewelry #emerald #ruby

Welcome to GemmyJimmy! Today, we’re diving into how to choose rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, the top three precious gemstones.

How to Choose Rubies

Rubies, made of red corundum, come in treated and untreated varieties. Untreated rubies are pricier. They are measured in carats: under 1 carat is jewelry grade, 2 carats are premium, 3 carats are collectible, and 5+ carats are investment grade. The most valuable rubies have a “pigeon blood red” color and are “eye-clean.” The best rubies originate from Myanmar, but Tajikistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Mozambique also produce high-quality rubies. Look for a good cut to maximize the stone’s natural beauty.

How to Choose Emeralds

Emeralds are valued for their vibrant green color. Colombian emeralds, especially from the Chivor and Muzo mines, are the finest, followed by Zambian emeralds with a slight blue hue. Most emeralds undergo oil treatment to enhance clarity; light or no oil is best. High-value emeralds should come with certificates from GUBELIN, SSEF, or GRS, while entry-level purchases can rely on GUILD certificates.

How to Choose Sapphires

Sapphires range in color, with Royal Blue and Cornflower Blue being the most sought after. These gems often show natural color zoning and are cut to maximize fire and avoid windowing. Larger sapphires (10+ carats) are common. The most valuable sapphires come from Kashmir, Burma, and Sri Lanka. Primary heat treatment is industry-standard and accepted, while secondary treatments reduce value. For larger stones, choose untreated sapphires with reputable certifications like GRS.
