The Legacy of Ruby in Jewelry Design
This deep red gem is the color of heat and passion — vintage and antique ruby jewelry is perfect for those born in the middle of summer.
Rubies are one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money. Just consider the Van Cleef Arpels “scarf” necklace the Duke of Windsor presented to the Duchess on her 40th birthday, in 1936 — set with diamonds and dripping with rubies, a testament to the deep-red gemstone’s power — or the slippers encrusted with 4,600 rubies that Harry Winston made to commemorate The Wizard of Oz’s golden anniversary. July babies have permission to adorn themselves with this beautiful red stone even when it’s not their birthday.
Rubies are considered precious stones — along with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds — and have a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs Scale, surpassed only by Moissanite and diamonds. They are composed of corundum, a colorless mineral that is also the basic material of sapphires. In the July birthstone, the red of the gemstone — and the various hues seen in sapphires — are produced by the presence of trace elements. In the case of a ruby, this element is chromium. Rubies range in color from vermilion to a violet red. They are also pleochroic, which means that a stone’s hue can vary depending on the direction of viewing. The most sought-after color is pigeon’s blood: pure red with a hint of blue.
Rubies that are hosted in dolomite marble are the most prized: Because the marble is low in iron, so are the rubies, resulting in a more intense color. Rubies found in basalt, which has a higher iron content, are generally darker and less intense.
When shopping for antique and vintage ruby jewelry, remember that the 4Cs of selecting the perfect diamond — color, clarity, cut and carat — also apply to rubies.
According to the Gemological Institute of America, the color of the July birthstone should be a vibrant to slightly purplish red, and the stone should be clear and inclusion-free. Accordingly, the cut should show off its color and clarity. As for the last criterion, fine rubies more than a carat in weight are rare. Often, large rubies are more expensive than diamonds of comparable weights.

Questions About Fine Ruby Jewelry
- Is fine jewelry real jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024Yes, fine jewelry is generally real jewelry. By definition, fine jewelry is jewelry produced using high-end materials, such as genuine sterling silver, gold and platinum. Gemstones may be natural or lab-created, as both types of stones are considered real based on their identical chemical compositions. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of fine jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between fine jewelry and jewelry is in the specificity of the terms. Jewelry is a broad category of small accessories, most often made of metal, that adorn different parts of the body. Examples of jewelry include necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and brooches. Fine jewelry is the term for jewelry crafted out of fine materials. These include precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum and gemstones like diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Find a wide variety of fine jewelry on 1stDibs.
- What is considered fine jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024What is considered fine jewelry is somewhat open to interpretation. Typically, fine jewelry features precious metals like sterling silver, gold and platinum. Any stones featured in pieces are generally genuine gemstones like diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The term fine jewelry is different from fashion jewelry, which is usually more modestly priced and typically doesn't feature precious metals and genuine gemstones. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of jewelry.
- Is fine jewelry real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, fine jewelry is real in terms of its materials. By definition, fine jewelry features genuine precious metals, such as gold, platinum and sterling silver. Any pearls or gemstones set in pieces are also genuine, though in some cases, they may be human-made rather than naturally occurring. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of fine jewelry.
- Is fine jewelry worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that fine jewelry is worth it. Featuring precious metals and genuine gemstones, fine jewelry often holds or gains value over time, and these materials make it visually appealing. Also, fine jewelry is often crafted by hand using traditional techniques, giving it a high level of quality that can help it stand the test of time. However, vintage and antique costume jewelry can also be attractive and finely crafted. When choosing jewelry, consider where and how frequently you'll wear it, your style, budget and other factors. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How you define high jewelry versus fine jewelry is largely a matter of personal opinion because the terms do not have formal definitions. Generally, fine jewelry is any piece of jewelry carefully crafted out of precious materials like metal and gemstones. High jewelry is a term used by collectors to describe jewelry of significant value. Exceptional craftsmanship, one-of-a-kind signs and highly sought pieces may fall under the category. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Quality and rarity define the difference between fine jewelry and high jewelry. Any jewelry that features fine materials, like precious metals and gemstones, may be considered fine jewelry. The term high jewelry usually refers to one-of-a-kind jewelry that is often crafted entirely or partially by hand. Shop a diverse assortment of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Yes, fine jewelery is a good long-term investment. Often it takes jewelry up to 30 years to appreciate. Many types of jewelry hold their value quite well.
- Is fine jewelry worth buying?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that fine jewelry is worth buying. Not only does fine jewelry typically feature precious metals and gemstones that have value on their own, but the pieces also often boast exceptional craftsmanship that allows them to stand the test of time. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in fine jewelry is totally subjective. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Shop a wide range of fine jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between Chanel high jewelry and fine jewelry comes down to exclusivity. The Chanel fine jewelry collection consists of pieces featuring precious metals and gemstones. These are available to purchase through Chanel boutiques and other authorized dealers. Chanel high jewelry is the term for one-of-a-kind Chanel jewelry. These pieces are custom-designed by the luxury fashion house's high jewelry artistic director and made to order for each customer. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of Chanel jewelry.
