WHAT IS A RUBY?

nothing but the facts

Roberto Coin uses lab-created rubies as our “signature ruby” in accordance with the 2008 Jade Act

ruby

member of the corundum family (other colors of corundum are sapphires)

red color comes from the mineral chromium

mined primarily in Asia: Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India

importation of rubies into the US is prohibited by the 2008 Jade Act, as the stones cannot be certified conflict-free

almost all natural rubies contain imperfections and inclusions; synthetic rubies are notable for their lack of inclusions
