Sustainably & Responsibly Sourced Greenland Rubies

Maui Divers Jewelry is proud to offer sustainable and responsibly sourced Greenland Rubies. The Greenland rubies featured in our designs showcase an intense pinkish red, and every purchase helps fund the Pink Polar Bear Foundation, which educates on climate change.

A Journey Through Time
Each ruby has a unique fingerprint; its composition and inclusions tell of an ageless journey through time and temperature. Greenland rubies from Aappaluttoq are found in a hard rock (primary) deposit considered by geologists to be one of the oldest formations on earth, having been created over billions of years.

Differences between Rubies and Sapphires
Rubies and sapphires surprisingly share the same chemical composition. Their difference is given by the presence of the trace element, chromium, from which these gems get their color. When corundum is red, it is called Ruby; when it is another color, it is called Sapphire.

Authenticity
Each gem is tracked and traced from the mine-site through processing, cutting, polishing, and sorting.
