How do you know a ruby is genuine?
1 Answer
To check if your ruby is genuine, simply scratch its surface with nails, keys, coins or any sharp object. If scratch marks appear on its surface, it means that the stone is a fake. Rubies are precious stones and are highly durable — a ruby cannot be scratched or damaged so easily. Find a range of antique and vintage ruby jewelry on 1stDibs.
