Gemstones supplied are graded as A-B grade "semi precious" gemstones in their "natural form", having been factory cleaned, heat treated, drilled, *faceted and lightly polished.
*Where applicable
A - B grade semi precious gemstones are readily available and cheaper to purchase compared to AAA/AAA+ grade gemstones due to the fact that they have not been graded to a "carat weight" necessary for wide scale commercial stone setting, which would then go on to be used alongside precious metals such as gold & platinum to create various jewellery pieces.
Many people assume that gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires & rubies are super expensive to buy, which isnt the case...the many semi precious chips & stones available are mostly offcuts & surplus pieces of the larger (carat graded stone) shaped & cut into beads or ornaments and offered as "semi precious" and not "precious" gemstones as found and sold in jewellery peices in mainstream/independent jewellery shops/outlets.

Full description
Red ruby semi precious gemstone beads for all your special creative projects. Mix and match with other gemstones such as Black quartz or Opal, Turquoise or Jasper to create really eye catching pieces of jewellery.
Supplied as a strand of 63 beads
Size : 6mm
The ruby is a pink to blood red coloured gemstone, the red colour is caused mainly by the presence of the chemical element chromium which occurs at source.
The ruby gemstone is considered one of the four precious stones together with sapphire, emerald and diamond.
Improving the quality/appearance and carat weight of gemstones by heat treatment and other methods is common practice in this modern age, and the ruby is no exception to this, naturally occurring ruby normally has a dark semi opaque colour/appearance of deep/blood red through to a pale pink, the more translucent a ruby is in appearance, it should be assumed that this is because it has undergone a high level of gemology based treatments to achieve its final appearance.
Natural ruby beads are perfect for costume & fashion jewellery as they have a high resilience to knocks and bumps whilst their rich and intense shadings matches well with most other colours.
