Quality rubies are more rare and more valuable than Diamonds. New Diamond deposits are being discovered regularly. This is not so with Rubies, which are mined only in a handful of locales worldwide! The ancients considered Rubies to be the "King of Precious Stones".
Inclusions are common and do not necessarily effect the quality of a Ruby. Quite the contrary applies: inclusions within a ruby are the gemstones fingerprints, stating its individuality and proving its genuineness like a certificate provided by Nature. Ruby (and emerald) are known as category 3 gemstones where inclusions are the norm.

Ruby is named for it's colour (Latin Rubeus), Ruby’s most important feature. Transparency is secondary. Pigeon Blood Red is the most desirable colour. In the old days this was tested against fresh pigeon blood.
These rubies are natural ruby (not lab created) that have been heated and fracture filled as accepted in the trade to permanently enhance the colour & quality. The rubies are classed as VS1 and are well cut and polished no visible damage such as abrasion or chips under 10 x magnification.
Just Jewels has an excellent record. I spend time sourcing quality gems and examine each gem personally with a 10 x loupe. I describe the gem as accurately as possible, especially anything that may not be seen in the pictures. You will not get any nasty surprises with this gem. The only surprise you will get is a pleasant one. The pictures are of the gem you will receive - and the actual gem is better than the pictures.
It also comes with Just Jewels 100% refund if not satisfied with this gem - no hassles, no "revenge" ratings, no restocking fee. A Retail Jeweler must make you pay for shop rental, staff salaries, shrinkage/theft etc etc. I work alone from home. That is why you can save many thousands on this quality Ruby on Just Jewels.
