Purplish Red Ruby Collection

Purplish red is the most common high-quality ruby color, and that's not a bad thing at all. That hint of purple adds depth and complexity to the red, giving it a richness that pure reds sometimes lack. Think deep crimson with a violet flash. We source our rubies from partner mines in Mozambique, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and beyond. Direct, no middlemen. For buyers, purplish red rubies offer excellent value compared to pure pigeon blood reds, which command astronomical premiums. The key is finding stones where the purple enhances rather than dominates. The best ones look red face-up with a subtle purple glow. Browse our current selection below.
