Faceted Ruby Stone

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.

Natural Faceted Ruby Gemstone Benefits

  • Enhanced Brilliance: The faceted cut enhances light to be more beautifully reflected, which increases the ruby's sparkle.
  • Symbolism: Rubies are associated with love, courage, and vitality, thus it is a meaningful stone.
  • Astrological Significance: These gems are linked to the astrological sign of the sun and are said to boost confidence and leadership qualities.
  • Durability: Faceted rubies are highly resistant to scratches and wear due to having a Mohs hardness of 9.
  • Investment Value: The ruby gems of higher quality are valuable collector's items, especially pigeon-blood red ruby.

The price of rubies is subject to the following factors: colour, clarity, cut and carat weight.

  • Color: The red shades of the gem should be bright and uniform distributed. The ones which are dull and pale or have overtones or undertones are less costly.
  • Clarity: The clearer the gem is, the more it will cost, since inclusions are very common in gemstones. So, a gem with fewer inclusions will range higher.
  • Cut: Faceting adds additional aesthetic value and appeal. A precise cut needs a lot of expertise, and so well-cut gems have higher rates.
  • Carat Weight: The gems which weigh more than 10 carats are rare and so very expensive.

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.
