Description
Synthetic Ruby Heart 3,5 ct is a hand faceted Lab grown Ruby suitable for any kind of jewellery or to collect. It has a rich pinkish red colour and it’s translucent. Gemstone faceting is a constant discovery and challenge for me. To find out the fine properties of every single mineral by doing intrigues me. Each one must be treated individually. The smooth polished facets reflect and break the incoming light. This light, often split in many colours, ignites the “inner fire” of the stone. Being able to unveil this fire is the reward for my love of minerals. In the blaze flares up the memory of my dream. As a jewellery artist, I use cut and polished stones and gems, but also the raw ones. They are inspiration, enthusiasm and passion for me. Even as a child, I brought bags full of stones home, collected every stone in which I saw beauty. During my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, I started to cut stones. Read more about my passion for gemstone faceting in my journal. The first fusion of ruby was achieved in 1782. The first ruby to be fused from its chemical constituents was produced by Marc Gaudin in 1834. Jacques-Joseph Ébelmen was the first to synthesize transparent rubies in 1847. They were were crystallised from a solution. The Mohs hardness is 9. Synthetic Ruby Heart 3,5 ct design cut shows its uniqueness in an open setting where it becomes a lot of light that enhances its colour.
