Formed deep beneath the earth’s surface some 500 million years ago, they are the rarest and most valuable of coloured gemstones, and often cost more per carat than diamonds. Their name deriving from the Latin “ruber”, or red, rubies have been adored by everyone from the ancient Chinese who revered the “lucky” colour red, to Hindu cultures who described them as “the king of gemstones” in early Sanskrit texts, to the Hollywood A-listers who wore them in such abundance at this year’s awards season that they gave new meaning to the words “red carpet”!
