Buying guide
Lab-grown ruby is red corundum, the same mineral as sapphire. A lab-grown ruby shares that chemistry and hardness with a mined ruby; it is grown in controlled conditions rather than taken from the earth. It rates 9 on the Mohs scale, so it shrugs off most everyday scratches. A lab-grown ruby is still the birthstone for July and a traditional fortieth anniversary gem.
An emerald cut is a rectangle with cut corners and rows of flat, stepped facets. Where a round brilliant breaks light into sparkle, the step cut shows the stone's color in long, steady bands. On a lab-grown ruby that means a deep, even red with a quiet shine along the facet edges. The cut corners also make the edges less likely to chip.
The studs are offered from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight. Gold can be 10K, 14K or 18K. Yellow and rose gold make the red feel warm and traditional, and white gold, platinum or silver give a sharper contrast. Prices begin under $200, and a typical pair is around $400.
