This was true due to the gorgeous designs that came out of this period. This era focused on women and the natural world, and the pieces that resulted from this period were often large and elegant.

The Art Nouveau period took place before the start of World War I, when mass production took over the production of many products, including some jewelry. Mughal jewelry appeared in India under the Mughal dynasty starting in the 16th century.

Jewelry was an important symbol indicating a person's status in society. The elite wore highly ornate and heavily jeweled pieces. As the Mughal Empire conquered the majority of India, the Mughal style spread to many other regions, being incorporated into many Indian cultures. The pieces typically feature intricate patterns, massive amounts of precious stones, and elaborate enameling. Rubies are one of the four precious stones and are appreciated for their colors ranging from pink to blood red.

The most prized hue of ruby is called blood-red, or pigeon's blood, for the rich and vibrant hue it presents. The color of a ruby comes from the element chromium. Rubies have adorned royal and religious jewelry for centuries and were particularly valued in Asian countries like China and India, where they were believed to bring good fortune. Rubies are graded by color, clarity, size, and carat.

Rubies are often also evaluated based on their geographic origin. Domestic US: All items are shipped within one business day after receipt of payment. We do not undervalue packages for customs, please do not ask us to do so. What you pay is what we will ask on your customs form.
