Rubies are passionate. They’re the gemstone equivalent of a dramatic movie villain—gorgeous, fiery, and impossible to ignore. The best ones come from Myanmar (formerly Burma), and they glow with a color called “pigeon’s blood red.” Yes, that’s the actual term. Don’t ask.
A top-quality ruby can be more expensive than a diamond of similar size. Imagine that! You could have a tiny red stone that costs more than your car. The Sunrise Ruby is a legend, selling for over $30 million. It’s basically a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan that fits on your finger.
