Ruby and pearl bangle
This antique ruby and pearl bangle made in 15 carat gold dates from the early 20th Century. It is set with three natural rubies and seed pearls. The design on this antique bangle is typical of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The rubies in this bangle are natural and have not been heat treated.
What’s the difference between a heated treated ruby and an unheated ruby?
While there is nothing at all wrong with rubies or sapphires that have been heat treated. For centuries it has been known that if a ruby or sapphire is heated to a high temperature, this will improve its colour and clarity. For this reason, people have been heat treating sapphires and rubies ever since. Keep in mind that this treatment is worldwide accepted as a normal treatment and not deceiving in any way. This is accepted as a standard treatment for sapphires and rubies as it remains stable and does not damage the stone. However having a ruby or sapphire that has not undergone any treatment adds to the charm and allure of the stone even further.
