The output of natural rubies is scarce, and there are few rubies that can reach the gem level, but there is a great demand for rubies in the market, which is also an important reason for the emergence of counterfeit rubies in the market. Ruby has a lot of counterfeiting methods, such as processing ruby, synthesizing ruby, splicing ruby, imitating ruby and so on.
There are many ways to treat ruby, the most common one is heat treatment, and there are also many ways of heat treatment, such as filling ruby with high lead glass; There are many ways to synthesize ruby, and flame melting is a very common method to synthesize ruby. Compared with natural ruby, synthetic ruby has higher quality, lower price and the same properties as natural ruby, which is easy to be confused. Gemstone stitching is a big problem, which can generally be judged by observing the stitching seam at the waist of the gem, but it is difficult to observe whether the gem is inlaid into jewelry, which is also a way of counterfeiting that we should pay great attention to; There are also imitation rubies, which are generally similar to rubies and can be distinguished by simple gemological tests.
Although there are many methods of ruby counterfeiting, the detection technology is constantly improving, which is why people trust the detection agency. If you choose a reputable merchant and know about rubies, it is not difficult to buy your favorite rubies.
