Courtesans, ladies of half the world, princes of blood, kings, billionaires of the Old and New Worlds, Hollywood stars - they all passionately loved precious stones: colorless and colored diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls. And the generosity and vagaries of Indian Maharajas ordering jewelry in Europe are legendary. The rulers of Muslim Egypt also did not lag behind and regularly came to Europe to adorn themselves with jewelry.
Where rubies are born
From ancient times, rubies were mined in the countries of Southeast Asia and Africa. They are classified not only by size, but also by color - from saturated blood red to light, almost pink. There are five gradations of color. Chrome turns ruby red. Of course, transparent, clean stones that have no inclusions, stripes or other defects are appreciated. But these are very expensive specimens. Ruby corundums (like natural mineral species) of good transparency and without defects are close in price to diamonds or even surpass them. A pure red ruby without a single vice from Tanzania is never pink. Such dark stones are considered masculine.

They make rings, earrings with rubies, and pendants.
