Faceted rubies are meticulously cut gemstones that maximize brilliance and fire. Unlike cabochon rubies, which are smooth and rounded, faceted rubies have multiple flat surfaces (facets) that add to their sparkle. They are now commonly used for fine jewellery like rings, earrings, and pendants.
The more precisely and accurately a faceted ruby is cut, the more it will cost.
Faceted rubies are part of the corundum family of gems, which includes sapphires as well. They are found in Myanmar (Burma), Mozambique, Thailand, and Madagascar.
The faceted ruby stone meaning is that the gems are cut well in different faceting styles.
The modern faceting method includes precise cutting techniques that optimize a ruby’s colour, clarity, and overall appeal. These include oval, round, cushion, and emerald cuts.
The price of rubies is subject to the following factors: colour, clarity, cut and carat weight.
Depending on both quality and grade, faceted rubies tend to range anywhere in between $100 and $10,000 per carat. The faceted ruby stone price in India ranges between INR 2,000 to 50,000 and can go up to lakhs as well.
