Pigeon Blood Ruby Cutting

One thing common among Yavorskyy-cut stones is perfection. In order to bring out the true nature of these beautiful rubies, every stage of cutting and polishing is precisely performed by artisans of excellent craftsmanship skills. The result is seen in the video: a beautiful five carat ruby with sweet saturation, impeccable proportions and superb clarity. *** The Master Cutters know exactly what it means to “cut” a gem. It is the cutter who must commit himself, burden himself with a challenge. It is the cutter who studies the rough with minute precision to determine the orientation of a gem. So the essence of the craft of cutting lies in the preforming stage – this is when the destiny of a gem is shaped. The lapidary holds a piece of rough in his hand like he might a set of dice, and peers into it as if it were a crystal ball. Cutting is gambling. A gambler may fear the risk, but the jackpot is simply too good to resist. One thing makes cutting more seductive than any other kind of gambling: jus primae noctis, the right to be first, the thrill of anticipation. The cutter is the first and only one to touch the nature of the gem with his fingers, to see its soul with his eyes, to foretell its future with his heart, his intuition and expert vision. *** (extract from the GEM CUTTING chapter of the book 'Gemstones.

Pigeon's Blood Ruby or Pink Ruby or Fuchsia Ruby? (Understanding Different Colors of Ruby)

We see in video that what are different classifications of ruby colors, such as pinkish red, purplish red, orangish red, red and pigeon's blood ruby. We see the general differences in Burma ruby color and Mozambique ruby color and how fluorescence affects their color. We also see the difference between a pink sapphire and a pinkish red ruby. This video is not a replacement for laboratory grading, but just to give you an idea of what ruby colors are there and how to preliminary judge the ruby color. The Mozambique ruby and Burma ruby color is just a generalization and not a 100% definite categorization as some of the colors and properties do overlap. We have seen some Mozambique rubies that at first look we thought was a Burma ruby and vice versa.
