The King of Gemstones
Our Tanzanian rubies exhibit a distinctive deep red hue with subtle purple undertones, making them instantly recognizable to connoisseurs. Each stone undergoes meticulous sorting and grading by our expert team, ensuring only the finest specimens reach your hands. The natural inclusions found in our rubies tell the geological story of their formation, creating unique patterns that make each stone a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Rubies have captivated humanity for millennia with their intense red color symbolizing passion, power, and prosperity. The rubies from our Arusha mining sites are distinguished by their deep crimson hue with subtle purple undertones—a characteristic signature of Tanzanian origin that sets them apart from rubies found in other regions of the world.
The geological conditions in our mining area have created rubies with fascinating internal features, including silk-like rutile inclusions that can produce a captivating star effect (asterism) when cut as cabochons. These natural inclusions are not flaws but rather nature’s fingerprints, telling the unique story of each stone’s formation deep within the earth over millions of years.
Our sorting team grades our rubies based on the internationally recognized criteria of color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, with particular emphasis on the intensity and saturation of the red color—the most valued attribute of fine rubies. We offer stones across a range of sizes, from small melee suitable for accent stones in jewelry to larger specimens ideal for statement pieces or collector’s items.
The durability of ruby—measuring 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness—makes these gems excellent choices for everyday jewelry that will maintain its beauty for generations. This combination of beauty, durability, and ethical sourcing makes our Tanzanian rubies highly sought after by European jewelry designers seeking distinctive materials with compelling provenance.
