People tend to ask us the same few things about a ruby of this size, so here they are in order, with answers for this 7.7 carat stone.

Is 7.7 carats big?

For ruby, yes. Most rubies people buy are under five carats, and anything above seven is a real statement on the hand. The total is Rs. 28,880, about Rs. 3,751 per carat.

What colour is it?

Red, naturally. The depth and brightness shift with light, so check it in daylight when it arrives.

Can it be worn daily?

Yes. It rates 9 on the Mohs scale, and sits comfortably in a ring or pendant. A raised, secure setting suits a stone this size.

What about heating and filling?

Heat is a normal step for ruby, and weaker material is sometimes glass-filled. Glass-filled ruby never goes on sale here as natural. Message us the reference GS-000515 on WhatsApp for what we know, and independent lab testing is available on request.

If the answers suit you, the stone can travel by insured, tracked courier, and a 7-day return window applies after delivery. Browse the ruby collection for comparisons, or read our notes on ruby quality before you decide.

Pay Cash on Delivery once you have opened the parcel and seen the stone yourself, anywhere in Pakistan, with 7 days to return it if you change your mind.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural ruby, known in Urdu as Yaqoot, with a weight of 7.7 Carat. Its price is Rs. 28,880 — roughly Rs. 3,751 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GS-000515 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale ruby rates 9. Few materials will scratch it, so it copes well with everyday ring wear. A soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft brush keeps it bright; skip the ultrasonic cleaner if inclusions reach the surface.

Whoever you buy ruby from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every ruby for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.

Ask us on WhatsApp and we will tell you what we know about this exact stone; independent lab testing is available on request.

A certificate of authenticity is available on request for this stone, and independent laboratory testing can be arranged. Because you pay on delivery, you can also take the stone to a lab of your choice within the 7-day return window. Read more on our authenticity page.
