Show me your July rubies!

[Catmom]

Ooooo I'm loving all the new ruby rings. Just gorgeous all of them!

My new ruby pendant...




And the family...

I only have this lil guy. It's a 5mm untreated winza from Dana @ MasterCuts. Have had it for 2 years now (!) and still can't decide how to set it. I think I need to add more rubies to my collection so I can build a matchy set.

Thank you!

Not really. The purplish red Burmese (middle bottom) is new so I‘m still getting to know it. I wear the 3 ct cushion (right) the most as it’s fairly low profile but when I want red I go for the smaller Tanzanian vivid red (middle top).

Which one do you like most?

Thank you!

I love the cushion - the setting is a dream for me

Thank you! I wear that ruby the most often. Being the biggest (in my collection) helps.

Recently set my unheated pinkish red Burmese ruby with pear sidestones. It actually looks more reddish after being set, and very glowy when outdoors

Ignorant purchase prior joining this forum, yet still very enjoyable.

Love this, been looking for a Winza

So many gorgeous stones!
Here's mine-- bought loose from the cutter, who also made the ring for me. It has a little silk under the table.

This is my Ruby. It’s a very different setting that I haven’t seen before.
The pear Ruby is Eye clean and I’m amazed by the fire it produces. It is 2.15 carat
11.8mm by 6mm

Rough eyeclean ruby with a drop of water. One side slighly polished. Can become a cabochon (star ruby) or an eyeclean facet ruby. I tend bit more to the cabochon as it would be kind of wasting the star if facet.

Ruby crystal floater. No damage all around. Small but very aesthetical.

And continuing the rough ruby theme, here are some recent arrivals, 3 ruby crystals from Tanzania:


The smallest crystal with the sharpest form is from Winza, the other two are from Morogoro and are an intense vibrant fuschia colour in person, more so than the Winza crystal. They also light up like Christmas tree lights under a LWUV source!

The largest crystal is 11mm across.

J'aime faire du lèche-vitrine.

Unheated ruby with a small blue sapphire core.


Tabular, flat, slightly alluvial shaped ruby crystal with "silk" inclusions (blue shining in sunlight) around the clean trigonal center.
