Sell Rubies — Top Dollar for Ruby Gemstones & Jewelry
Selling rubies? We pay top dollar for ruby gemstones, rings, and jewelry. Free evaluation, same-day payment. No obligation to sell.
Rubies are one of the most valuable precious gemstones, prized for their intense red color. If you have rubies to sell — whether loose stones, ruby rings, or ruby jewelry — Astoria Gold Buyer Pawn Shop pays top dollar based on professional gemstone evaluation.
Ruby value depends on color (pigeon blood red is most prized), clarity, cut, carat weight, origin (Burmese rubies are most valued), and treatment. We evaluate each stone professionally.
How Rubies Are Valued
Ruby value is determined by the 4Cs (color, clarity, cut, carat) plus origin and treatment. Color is the most important factor — "pigeon blood" red (a vivid, pure red with slight blue undertone) is most valuable.
Burmese (Myanmar) rubies command the highest prices. Most rubies undergo heat treatment, which is standard. Unheated rubies are rare and command significant premiums.
- Color — pigeon blood red is most valuable
- Clarity — fewer inclusions mean higher value
- Cut — affects brilliance and color display
- Carat weight — large rubies are extremely rare
- Origin — Burmese rubies command the highest prices
