Most rubies are heat-treated to improve colour — a stable, standard disclosed treatment — so an untreated stone with strong natural colour is rarer and commands a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuby is the birthstone for July and the traditional 40th-anniversary gift. Every DelaFuente ruby piece is made to order in solid gold and sold with an independent report, so you know exactly what you’re wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e— Danna de la Fuente, GIA-trained gemologist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/delafuente.jewelry\/en-us\/collections\/ruby.oembed","provider":"DelaFuente","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
