Beautiful Natural Opaque Ruby with a textured bezel and a hand hammered decorative band, size 9-1/2. I love an opaque Ruby, they have so much character.All natural Rubies have imperfections within them, including color impurities and inclusions of Rutile needles known as “silk.” These inclusions help distinguish natural Ruby from synthetics.  Opaque rubies have so many inclusions that it is impossible to see through the stone. There are white, silky strands of the mineral rutile running through and bunching together inside the stone.If you love this ring but the size doesn’t fit, I have two more opaque rubys and I could custom make a ring to fit you.🔹SIZE: US 9 1/2🔹WEIGHT: 6 grams🔹DURABILITY: Ruby scores a 9 on Moh's hardness scale, it is incredibly durable and good for everyday wear. 🔹SHIPPING: Free shipping!🔹GIFTS: All items are shipped in a gift box, ready to give or enjoy as a gift to yourself!
