It has been said throughout history that ‘a fine ruby is a hundred times more rare than a fine diamond’. Jean Baptiste Tavernier, the Frenchman who became the first diamond and gem trader in Europe during the 17th century, used this term to sell one of the finest rubies ever found. The three main factors determining the rarity of a ruby are it’s pure crystal clarity, uniform lively red color, (without shades of purple or brown) and the carat weight. Rubies have been highly valued and prized throughout history, especially during the rule of the Mughals in the 1500’s.
