Created Ruby
- A member of the corundum family, rubies showcase a brilliant red and represent intense love, vitality, and courage. This ruby was created in a laboratory, but is identical in chemical composition to one mined from the ground. So, what's the difference? A natural ruby that is "eye clean" is exceedingly rare and valuable, while created ones are "eye clean" because they are formed in a controlled setting - developing less inclusions and a more uniform color. Created rubies also have a smaller ecological impact and are more affordable with the same gorgeous vibrancy.
- Mohs: 9 great durability and toughness for everyday wear.
- Care: Wash with warm, soapy water. Never clean with steam or ultrasonic cleaners.
Care
Wearing your jewelry frequently will help prevent tarnish as the natural oils from your skin create a protective barrier. Please remove your jewelry before sleeping, showering/swimming (hot tubs, pools, ocean, lakes, etc.), when applying any lotions/sprays/products to the body, or when jewelry may come in contact with any chemicals or cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place in a dedicated box or bag. Storing jewelry separately avoids pieces rubbing against each other which may affect the finish of your jewelry. To clean, use mild soap and warm water with a soft bristle toothbrush. We recommend avoiding polishing cloths for our jewelry as they will ruin the finish of gilded (bright white matte) pieces.
