Glass-filled rubies are a category of treated ruby gemstones that have undergone a specific enhancement process to improve their apparent quality and overall appearance. This process involves the infusion of lead glass into the ruby's natural imperfections, such as fractures, cavities, and inclusions. The lead glass fills these imperfections and bonds with the ruby, improving its structural integrity. By matching the refractive index of the ruby with the filling element, the process enhances the stone’s luster and improves its color, resulting in a more vibrant and lustrous appearance. This technique not only fills the visible cracks but also bonds with the ruby, creating a stunning gemstone that is both beautiful and affordable, perfect for high-impact jewellery pieces.
