Pulseras de rubíes – FAQs
Can you wear a natural ruby gemstone bracelet every day without scratching it? Is it durable enough to wear while working on a laptop?
Yes. Rubies are exceptionally durable, ranking a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale—second only to diamonds. This means a natural ruby is highly resistant to surface scratches and perfectly suited for daily wear. Furthermore, because Gemondo specializes in dainty, closely fitted chain links and lightweight structures, our bracelets are thoroughly durable and comfortable enough to wear while typing or working on a laptop without causing discomfort or risking structural damage.
How do I spot a genuine ruby bracelet from a fake?
Spotting a genuine ruby involves looking closely at the stone's physical properties:
- The Temperature Test: Natural, authentic rubies are excellent conductors of thermal energy; they will feel noticeably cool to the touch when first placed against your skin, whereas glass or plastic counterfeits warm up instantly.
- Examine Inclusions: Natural rubies grown deep within the earth over millions of years naturally possess tiny internal flaws, known as a “jardin” (french for garden). If a ruby looks absolutely flawless, lacks internal character under magnification, or contains perfectly round bubble pockets, it is likely synthetic glass or a cheap imitation.
- The Scratch Test: Because rubies rank at a 9 on the hardness scale, a fingernail or a copper coin cannot scratch the surface of a real ruby stone.
