Ruby is the king of colored gemstones, and oval is the shape that shows it best. The elongated face maximizes the rich red color while the brilliant faceting produces that signature ruby glow. A fine oval ruby is one of the most sought-after gems in the world. We source ours from partner mines worldwide. Direct, no middlemen. Rubies are rarer than sapphires and more valuable per carat, so finding one you love is always exciting. In an oval, look for strong, saturated red without too much pink or brown. Fluorescence is a plus in rubies since it makes the red appear even more vivid in daylight. Proportions should be balanced, not too narrow. Browse our oval rubies below.
