Point1 lineage back Ruby

Ruby’s lineage back

And the diamond is different from ruby mining, manufacturing and marketing does not have a global monopoly, are fragmented around the Ruby industry, and its exploitation or for companies of different sizes, or by a number of individuals indigenous method to mine. Therefore, it was the general situation of the resources of the ruby is also the lack of statistical knowledge. Ruby the known world resources are mainly concentrated in two regions, one in Southeast Asia and its surrounding areas, the other is East Africa.

Ruby producing the highest quality – Myanmar

As we all know, Myanmar is the world’s best rubies origin. About the early 15th century, local residents in Myanmar Moge accidentally discovered rubies, to 15 by mid-century, Myanmar begun to scale in mining rubies. Moge area near the northern growing areas of the world’s best-known reserves, “pigeon blood red” rubies. Ruby found here have a common “red with a blue more or less memory.” Ruby centuries constantly being found in this valley, but production has been depleted. Nevertheless, the sites produced ruby, it is still the world’s best-quality.

Ruby’s largest processing base – Thailand

Thailand also is the world’s ruby place of origin, Thailand, once with saturated ruby color with Myanmar rubies comparable, but the resources and the production has gradually declined. At present, Thailand, although still the world’s number one supplier of rubies, but the rubies produced, mainly from Myanmar and Cambodia. These external ruby raw materials for processing in Thailand, after re-entering after sales market.

Important Ruby origin – Cambodia

Cambodia, Thailand, Ruby mainly in the adjacent area of Pailin area inside the 5. Rubies are also produced in Thailand is very similar to the higher iron purple – brown-based.

Star Ruby’s hometown – Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon)

Southeastern part of the island produces a large number of ruby, is the world famous ruby-producing areas, known as the “Gem City,” said. Particularly in high-quality products are known for Star Ruby, Sri Lanka, ruby red color with a peach, slightly lavender. If the United States National Museum are now hidden in the heavy 138.7 karats of “Rosser Reeve,” Star Ruby is from here.

Diamond City of Antwerp

143 years ago, one day, South Africa

15-year-old Dutch-born juveniles Erasmus brought home from the river to play a reddish brown shiny yellow stone

Fan ‧ Nikeerke neighbors feel the stone is very strange to buy the next

As a result, Erasmus’s mother gave Van ‧ Nikeerke

A year later, a mineral made a conclusion of their doctoral

“Diamond, 24 carats, valued at £ 800″

This diamond was later named the “discovery”, which opens the history of mankind’s largest diamond mining mania

One hundred years, the original drill went to Europe’s second-largest port – Antwerp

Man ︱ Cao Qian, Zhang Shu Qi map ︱ Antwerp Museum

Ups and downs of five centuries

City map in Europe, the great painter’s hometown of Antwerp Rubens is not particularly eye-catching. Associated with this city attributive there are three: Europe’s second largest port, the diamond center, fashion center.

Antwerp’s diamond industry and its becoming an important port synchronous emergence of the North Sea. In 1483, da Gama discovered the sea passage to India direct access to the European Maritime Trade Center from Venice – Bruges axis to Lisbon – Antwerp axis. From India to a variety of valuable goods, including diamonds, are transported via Lisbon to Antwerp, and then sold to other countries in continental Europe. Antwerp’s diamond trade and diamond-cutting industry, and gradually rise. 16 century was the golden age of Antwerp, when 40% of world trade over here, the diamond industry has also reached its peak, Antwerp diamond cutting artisans known in Europe. At that time, advocating the arts in Paris King Francois I and failing to craft artisans, are ordered from the Antwerp diamond ornaments.

Flow situation a hundred years. Antwerp Calvin Protestant sects of religious persecution, so that trading center of Amsterdam in the 17th century has been replaced by diamond craftsmen and merchants have also fled to Amsterdam.

By the 18th century, was the only diamond producer in India running out of resources, the newly discovered diamonds in Brazil soon be exhausted, the world’s diamond industry is almost depressed, diamond factories have closed, artisans to find work.

I do not know for businessman’s intuition, or by chance, in 1865, the Netherlands and France, traders in Antwerp opened a diamond-cutting factory. After a whole year, “discovered” in South Africa picked up the juvenile. South Africa is abundant, high-quality diamonds to save the world’s diamond industry. Craftsman quantity, technology, good Antwerp soon rise again. At this point, a large number of Eastern European Jewish immigrants flock to Antwerp. Jews have always been with the diamond fate, the first diamond cut diamond technology to the invention is the Jewish Fan ‧ Bercken. The new Jewish immigrants joined the diamond industry.

The initial, traders gathered in cafes transaction, and later founded the “Antwerp Diamond Club”, opposite the train station to buy a five-storey house as the exchange, which is now known as the Antwerp Diamond District cornerstone.

Recently, Qionghai City, Hainan Province of the pieces of red banners hanging above screamed “engaged to marry selection of diamonds, do not buy diamonds without marriage” message, attracted many passers-by stop and comment. Diamond rings, one can not escape the topic.

Do not buy diamond ring diamond ring does not make up married for ten years of marriage

Because of the weather, winter is the annual traditional wedding off-season, and this year’s winter was exceptionally unusual, getting wedding photos, select diamond endless stream of young men and women. 2009 is the “double-spring and leap months”, coupled with both happy and every 60th anniversary of the founding, and “9″ implies permanence. Coupled with China’s first generation of the one-child has entered the peak period of marriage, marriage and crowding together a phenomenon that emerged.

Qionghai City, Hainan Province for the banner, “An engagement of marriage selection of diamonds, do not buy diamonds, do not get married,” and some people think that, too straightforward diamond ad tarnished the sanctity of marriage and the nature, although sometimes a pair of lovers, and there is no mention of the woman special requirements, but the man would cause great psychological pressure.

Nevertheless, the “first to buy diamonds and then get married,” the marriage has almost become a tacit equation. According to statistics, in China, 76% of people are buying diamonds as a wedding necessities purchased, while in the West this ratio is only 20%, 80% of the people to buy diamonds, not intended for marriage. Interestingly, many years ago as part of a marriage, “an old couple,” marriage did not purchase the diamond jewelry of basic ideas. However, in recent years, due to increase in per capita income, diamond jewelry has become of these “old couple” of choice for wedding anniversary gifts.

When organizing a major event in the marriage, marriageable men and women suddenly have to face the election and diamond rings, wedding photos, registration, prepare a feast … … a lot of things, and sometimes he makes, especially the wedding ring purchase, you may rush forth, to spend money wasted.

Carat America remind you: Do not purchase expensive, and only buy diamond jewelry for a symbol of steadfastness, faithfulness, love and holiness, however, is moving a few million on a million or diamond jewelry, gold jewelry, it is possible to experience a lack of buying young men and women to spend money wasted.

With the diamond jewelry sells diamonds, more and more franchised stores. The forthcoming New Year’s Day 2010 officially opened the United States every carat diamond shopping malls to remind consumers, diamonds are valuables in the purchase process, we must polish his eyes, carefully identify its authenticity. “No buying expensive goods, and only buy right.”

“In the process of buying diamonds, we should first see whether the three types of certificate of diamonds: First International Colored Gemstone Association identification certificate issued by the second is quality certification and the third is a local gem identification certificate.” US-carat diamond shopping malls work officials said.

US-carat diamond store relevant person in charge told reporters, “Our ornaments prices lower than the market price of about 50% of that market value of about 10,000 yuan diamond ring, we only sell about 5,000 yuan.”

It is understood that the United States per carat diamond store has been able to sell such a high price of diamonds, because they are self-diamonds directly from the supplier to accept the hands of Luo Dan, a separate processing and manufacturing, without like a traditional department stores do not sell diamonds to pay the same phenanthrene point deduction.

Turning to identify the authenticity of the diamond tips, the store staff also said, “according to perspective test, oil test, drop test, Kazakhstan gas testing, sensory testing, comprehensive judgments.”

Perspective Test – will have a Round Brilliant cut gemstones wipe-type-table down, on a painted white line on the paper through the gem-line can be observed initially to determine whether the diamond gemstone. If the standard-type cut round diamond diamonds, diamonds do not see the paper through the line (man-made strontium titanate, synthetic rutile with no perspective of diamonds similar effect). The vast majority of counterfeit products, due to the refractive index different perspective observation can be seen as part of a line on paper.

Oil test – with a special oil-based ink or a ballpoint pen, in the diamond table to draw a line, it will leave an uninterrupted straight line. While the other does not have an affinity for oily imitation, in the intermittent crossed the dotted line at left.

Drop test – imitation diamonds, and wipe the table, each drop a small drip beads to observe the droplets to maintain the time and profile. In the diamond will be a very long time to keep the ball drops, while the water droplets on the imitation will be in a relatively short period of time to disperse.

Kazakhstan Gas Test – will be under test samples and the known sample with the diamond on the glass on the front of their gas and Kazakhstan to observe the disappearance of fog. Diamonds on the fog soon disappear, while the mist on the imitation is slowly disappearing.

Sensory testing – at room temperature, contact with the tongue and imitations of diamonds, the diamonds should be cooler than that imitation is much more.
