A Closer Look at Ruby's Identity
The fascinating ruby belongs to the corundum family. Any corundum with a shade of red, pink, or red-brown due to the presence of chromium, earns the honor of being called a ruby. Despite their rare occurrence, rivaled only by diamonds, rubies have maintained their prestigious status throughout history.
An Age-Old Adoration for Rubies
Across various civilizations, rubies were cherished and admired for their captivating beauty. Indian folklore designated rubies as the mother of all gemstones. At BAUNAT, we acknowledge this legacy, making rubies a towering feature in our premium collection.
Natural Habitats of Rubies
The majority of these beguiling gems are sourced from Southeast Asia, Australia, Brazil, and India. Today, Afghanistan and Pakistan hold significant ruby reserves. However, the pursuit of rubies in these regions is fraught with difficulties due to ongoing conflicts.
The Prominence of Rubies
Adorning the regalia of divine royalty, rubies were viewed as protective talismans, signifying prosperous abundance. With BAUNAT, you can carry forward this tradition by gifting ruby encrusted jewelry pieces – a token of love, protection, and prosperity.
Rubies: The Emblem of Love
Rubies, in their singular, vibrant red, have become the undeniable symbol of love. BAUNAT’s stunning ruby collection captures the essence of deep affection, making it an ideal choice for gifts or engagement rings.
The Healing Potentials of Rubies
Traditions attribute rubies with potent healing properties, from stimulating blood circulation to protecting against negative energy and boosting self-confidence. While scientifically unproven, these beliefs add another dimension to rubies’ allure.
The Worth of Rubies
Rubies, more affordable than diamonds, particularly red diamonds, are a cost-effective yet luxurious choice. Similar to diamonds, the value of a ruby is determined by the 4Cs - Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight.
