UNTREATED MOGOK RUBIES

HOW
TO CHOOSE
If one wishes to experience
the endless enjoyment and comfort
of ruby, gem-quality material
is most definitely recommended.
Since long ago, confirmation
of source and the presence
or absence of treatment has
served as the basis for establishing
the value of the highest-quality
pieces. Whether for rubies
costing several thousand dollars
or those costing tens of thousands
of dollars, disclosure of the
source and the presence of
treatments is absolutely necessary.
That way, consumer awareness
of the beauty of untreated
gemstones will continue to
grow, and their character and
value will achieve higher recognition.
If making a purchase based
on a price/beauty relationship,
a beauty grade of S or A with
a tone level of 4 is also an
excellent value.
The value of a one-carat-size,
untreated Mogok ruby of jewelry
quality is approximately US
$4,000 for the stone alone.
