Rubies
A Glorious Gemstone
The Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum and is regarded as one of the four most valuable gemstones in the world due to its hardness and beauty.
The name "Ruby" is derived from the Latin word "rubeus", meaning "red".
While Rubies come in various shades, the market typically recognizes three primary classifications: "Pinkish-Red", "Pigeon's Blood", and "Royal Red". The latter also includes the "Dark Red" Rubies, which are predominantly found in Thailand, Cambodia, and a few East African countries.
The most sought-after and frequently crafted into fine jewelry are gemstones sourced from Thailand, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. These regions yield the most intense colors and the highest quality gemstones.
The Ruby has captivated humanity for centuries, earning a reputation as one of the most legendary gemstones. Numerous myths and legends have surrounded the Ruby since antiquity; it was said to bring luck and protection against misfortune and evil spirits. Often referred to as the "blood of the earth", the Ruby historically symbolized courage and bravery, while in modern times, it represents love, passion, and energy.
At Siam Gems Club, we showcase the most vibrant hues of this coveted geme. A significant portion of our inventory is sourced directly from the mines in Thailand, with few stones imported from our neighbour Maynmar and through visiting partners from Mozambique and Madagascar. The allure of the Ruby continues to mesmerize, making it a timeless treasure in the world of gemstones.
Sapphires
The World of Sapphires
Sapphires are a captivating variety of the mineral corundum and rank among the most valuable gemstones in the world. Known for their remarkable hardness and beauty, Sapphires are second only to diamonds in terms of hardness, with Rubies which are red corundums, coming close.
The name "Sapphire" derives from the Greek word meaning "blue". When one thinks of Sapphires, the mind often conjures images of exquisite blue gemstones in various shades. These hues range from sky blue and pastel blues to deep indigo and nearly black tones. Each color typically reflects its geographical origin and is classified into numerous shades. Generally, only blue Sapphires without additional qualifiers are referred to simply as Sapphires.
However, the color spectrum of Sapphires extends far beyond blue. Pure corundum is categorized as a white or colorless Sapphire, also known as "Leuco Sapphire", and serves as an alternative in jewelry to white diamonds.
Meanwhile, the distinction between a pink-red Ruby and a pink Sapphire can be challenging to perceive with the naked eye, despite modern lab techniques providing reliable analyses.
Among the rarest and most sought-after is the Padparadscha Sapphire, showcasing a beautiful pink-orange or orange-pink hue, named after the Singhalesian word for lotus flower. Corundums in gem quality that are neither blue, colorless or red are collectively termed "Fancy Sapphires", marked by their distinct colors such as yellow Sapphire.
The Sapphire holds deep historical significance across cultures, symbolizing power, beauty and loyalty, while also being valued in esotericism and healing practices.
At Siam Gems Club, we proudly offer a diverse array of Sapphires in various colors sourced mainly from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and other regions, including Australia and Sri Lanka, alongside exquisite pieces from Africa through our traveling partners.
"In the ancient whispers of Persia, it was said that the earth rested upon a colossal sapphire, its deep azure hue reflecting the boundless sky above."
