July’s modern birthstone is the ruby and you don’t get a whole lot more bold and brilliant than a perfectly cut, eye catching red ruby.  The only problem is that high quality, naturally mined ruby is pretty hard to come by these days and therefore very expensive.  Rubies can be treated in various ways in an attempt to improve the quality and clarity, but even the lesser grade natural stones that have been died or heated can bring with them a pretty hefty price tag.

If you are planning on buying naturally mined ruby you should take great care to ensure that you are actually getting what you are paying for because this beautiful gem can be treated to improve appearance.  No one wants to find out that they spent top dollar for a flawless natural gem only to find out later that what they actually purchased was a gem of average quality that was treated to appear of higher quality.

One way to ensure that you are getting the very best value is to purchase an optically flawless and inclusion free lab created ruby.  With lab created rubies, you get top quality every single time while at the same time saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your purchase.  Owning perfect natural gems would be nice, if you had the money, but if you want to wear the most beautiful and colorful jewelry imaginable this Summer and still have money to spare you might want to look into lab created ruby jewelry.

Ivanka’s stepmother, Melania, has thrown her hat into the world of jewelry design, but unlike her famous step-daughter, this Trump has an eye for keeping things affordable.  Melania Trump’s line of jewelry will be sold through QVC starting at the end of though there is plenty of glitz, glam and beauty in the line, there isn’t a single piece that costs more than two hundred dollars – meaning that even those of us on a budget could partake in these creations.

So how did the Donald’s wife do it?  How can she possibly offer an equally beautiful line of jewelry as that of her famous step-daughter, but manage to keep the price at a fraction of what Ivanka has to offer?  The answer is simple – Melania is using lab created gems in her line!

Tune in to QVC starting April 3oth and you’ll be able to get your hands on some very high class looking jewelry for a very middle class price.  Melania is offering rings containing lab created ruby and bracelets and pendants containing cubic zirconia and each and every piece is visually stunning – and like every lab created jewel, they are all optically flawless and inclusion free.

If every celebrity designer would take the cue from this member of the Trump family, they would be able to keep the prices on their jewelry lines way down without sacrificing quality and be able to reach and satisfy a much wider array of clientele.

In his report, Weisbaum talks about glass composite rubies he purchased from a TV auction channel. These rubies may look just like the real thing, but under a microscope the inherent flaws in these lead glass-infused rubies became evident. On camera, you could see the airs bubbles trapped inside the glass within the structure of these inferior lab rubies. As you can imagine, the glass used in the creation of these rubies make them extremely fragile. When subjected to household cleaners, these composite rubies were visibly damaged.

According to the television report, an unsuspecting customer believing she was buying a gold necklace set with real natural rubies paid $5,000. Only later did she find out that she had been duped. Instead of natural rubies she had actually purchased inferior composite gems whose beauty came from “color enhancement by lead glass fracture filling.”

Respected online wholesalers like PehnecGems carry only the highest quality laboratory created gems, not inferior knockoffs. The superior quality lab rubies offered by PehnecGems are created from the mineral corundum and are not infused with glass. Corundum is the exact same mineral Mother Nature uses to create natural rubies. The loose lab rubies PehnecGems sells online are created using the same natural mineral under precise scientific conditions that mimic nature. Our rubies just don’t take as long to create as those that occur in nature. We shave a few thousand years off Mother Nature’s recipe!

The result is exquisite, flawless, perfectly colored lab created rubies that are visually indistinguishable from the real thing. And like Mother Nature’s creations, PehnecGems corundum-made rubies have the same chemical signature. They are, after all, made from the same mineral.

The red variety of the mineral corundum, natural rubies gain their distinctive red color from slight traces of the elements chrome, iron, titanium or vanadium. Completely colorless corundum can take on many colors depending on the trace elements evident in the stone. All other colors of corundum except for the red ruby are considered sapphires, even though their color may range from blue to yellow, pink, orange or green. In the trade, pink corundum can be referred to as either pink ruby or pink sapphire. Many natural rubies are heat treated to bring out and intensify their red color. Only lab created rubies offer consistent rich red coloration at economical prices.

The Sanskrit word for ruby means “king of the gemstones.” In ancient India the discovery of a particularly large and beautiful ruby crystal received a royal welcome and was paraded to the maharaja’s court by high level dignitaries. Until science revealed the chemical composition of gemstones in the early 19th century, red garnets or spinels were also believed to be rubies. In fact, several of the “rubies” that decorate the British Crown Jewels have been discovered to be spinels.

It is the element chrome that gives rubies their deep red color but also ensures their scarcity in nature. The instability of chrome causes ruby crystals to crack and fissure easily during formation. It is exceedingly rare in nature to discover a ruby crystal of any size in good condition without cracks or inclusions. It is this rarity that commands a king’s ransom when natural rubies of 3 or more carats arrive on the auction block. Lab rubies, however, allow even peasants to afford perfect ruby gems.
