Loose Ruby Gemstone

Rubies are luxurious in a way that no other colored gem can be compared, symbolizing exquisite beauty. Also known as the King of Gems, this gemstone is once again celebrating a spectacular rise in the market. Ruby has become the most sought-after colored gem. It is limited in its availability. For decades, the most valuable rubies of unique color have come from the heritage mines of Mogok, Myanmar, the world's largest producer of rubies.

The gemstone is believed to be associated with harmony, strength, leadership, and invincibility. Burmese warriors used to wear them into combat fields, as a symbol of good luck. Most of the large-sized gems were owned by the rulers, and rubies were used for trading along the Silk Road and later by merchant-adventurers like Tavernier and Edwin Streeter. They were owned by noble figures such as Catherine the Great, Empress Josephine, Queen Victoria, and Empress Eugénie. Ruby was a feminine accessory in the twentieth century, worn by socialites like Mona Bismarck and the Duchess of Windsor, as well as Hollywood royalty like Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor.
