MAGICAL BENEFITS:

Ruby is associated with love, passion and marital harmony. It is a symbol of excellent health and vigour. It has been believed to make its wearer more aware, focused, alert, bold and courageous. The owner of ruby can obtain a certain level of luxury, popularity and prestige. It is known to ward off evil eye, attract friends and good luck. Individuals experiencing depression and insecurity find solace in this ancient red gem. It can also help in discovering one’s true destiny and calling.

PRICE:

The 4 Cs (Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat weight), origin and the type of treatment if any determine the price of ruby. Natural untreated rubies of rich red colour, great quality and large size are very expensive. Burma and South Africa are known for the best rubies in the world. Rubies hailing from the Mogok deposit in Burma have very high price due to their vivid red colour. Other sources of rubies are India, Thailand, Australia, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Namibia, Japan, and Colombia. Sri Lanka is popular for pink rubies. But here we must understand that better origin does not mean best quality ruby. Sometimes even a good origin’s ruby might be of inferior quality than a ruby from less popular origin. Nowadays majority of the rubies are heat treated, colour diffused or their fractures are filled with lead glass to enhance the appearance. It is important for the seller to disclose the information about any treatment the ruby has been put through. These treated rubies cost much less. Hence with so many options in hand, if a buyer has a firm budget and set of priorities then it becomes easy for him/her to buy a ruby that is best suited for them.

POPULAR SHAPES:

Rubies can be cut into all shapes including asscher, princess, emerald, cushion, and radiant although round, oval, pear, and marquise rubies are the most prevalent.

GIFTING OCCASIONS:

Rubies make fantastic gifts for many different occasions but are especially appropriate for romantic gestures. This gemstone is gifted to couples celebrating 15th and 40th anniversaries. Being the birthstone of the month of July, it is an appropriate gift for July borns too.

So when are you planning to add this beauty to your jewellery collection…

In the world of fine jewellery, the two most commonly used words are Karat and Carat !

Let us understand what they stand for:

KARAT (K) – Karat signifies the proportion of gold in an alloy that is used to make jewellery. Fine gold is too soft to be used, hence it is mixed with other metals to form an alloy. This alloy is divided into 24 parts and the purity of gold in this alloy is denoted by karat. For example 14K gold means 14 parts of gold out of 24 parts of alloy. The same stands for 18K, 22K and so on. Fine gold means 24 K gold. The more the purity of gold in jewellery, the higher the price.

CARAT (Ct.) – Carat is the standard unit of weight for diamonds and other gemstones. 1 carat equals to 0.20 grams. A carat is divided into points where 1 carat is equal to 100 points. For example, half carat diamond means 50 point diamond or 0.50 ct. diamond.

Large diamonds are rarer and so the price increases along with the increase in carat weight. Small diamonds set in a piece of jewellery are weighed collectively together. This is called total carat weight. A single 2 carat diamond is way more costly than 2 carat total weight of smaller diamonds. Carat weight does not necessarily denote size of diamond. Diamonds of same carat weight may differ in size due to their cutting. If one is cut deeper than the other, then both will differ in size. That is why you can find two 1 carat diamonds having different sizes.

In the UK and some other parts of world , the spelling carat is used for both gemstone weight and gold purity, but in the US and other parts, carat and karat are used as per their meanings stated above. Hence it is always good to know the difference between the two.

Gold and natural diamonds are procured through mining practices that can have negative environmental impact. Diamond mining sometimes lead to soil erosion, deforestation, land degradation and proneness to flooding. Dust and water pollution too are the side effects of diamond mining.
In case of gold, tons and tons of rock and soil are removed to produce enough raw gold for a simple ring. The gold is extracted from these rocks by using mercury and cyanide. This waste of rock and soil with mercury and cyanide pollute land, water and air considerably.

Aryahi Jewels takes pride in its eco friendly and sustainability efforts by providing remaking service. We follow the method of Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. We reuse the gold and diamonds from our customers’ old jewellery and convert it into a new piece. We reset the old diamonds in the new and modern design thereby reducing the use of new mined diamonds. The old gold is melted and refined until it reaches its pure form. This recycled gold reduces negative environmental impact. More over this method is cost effective for our customers and helps them to use their valuable old jewellery!

We are trying our best to make this world a better place through our services and products. We hope that we are able to inspire some to do the same…

Diamond Cut
Out of the 4Cs of diamond (Cut, Clarity, Colour & Carat weight), the cut determines the sparkle of the diamond. A well cut diamond with 58 facets will have more reflection when the light passes through it creating a scintillation of spectral light & white light alternatively. This scintillation is called sparkle in layman’s terms.

Diamond Colour
The colour of the diamond helps too. A well cut diamond of superior colour will have better sparkle. Here we must understand that a well cut diamond with inferior colour will still sparkle better than a good colour diamond with poor cut.

Jewellery Setting
Another factor to look into is the type of setting the ring has. There are many types of jewellery setting like, Bezel, Pressure, Illusion, Prong etc. Prong setting is the most popular one in solitaire rings as it allows maximum light to pass through the diamond. The height of prongs can be customised according to the wearer’s comfort & style.

So the next time when you think of purchasing a solitaire ring, you know how to pick a good one!
