History and rarity – The timeless prestige of the ruby Since ancient times, the ruby has been among the most prestigious gemstones. Associated with power, nobility, and passion, it has traversed the centuries while maintaining a privileged place in major gem collections. Its characteristic red color mainly comes from the presence of chromium within its crystal structure. Natural rubies with considerable weight, intense coloration, and good translucency are especially appreciated by collectors and professionals in precious stones.
