Rubellite was once a top performer for RMC Gems, which still maintains an extensive inventory of the stone to fulfil client requirements. RMC Gems HK Co General Manager Vishal Bardiya cited the period from 2013 to 2016 as the heyday of rubellite in the Chinese mainland. Today, demand is stronger from Europe and India, reflecting shifting market dynamics. Page-Allies attributes rubellite’s popularity among luxury jewellery brands to its colour and price points. “If a brand wants to make a jewellery piece with red stones, its choices are ruby, rubellite and rhodolite garnet. Producing a big spread with rubies would cost millions. Rubellite is a more cost-effective option, making it a staple for brands seeking to balance luxury and affordability,” she explained. And while rubellite from the Cruzeiro mine in Brazil is often preferred, material from Nigeria is gaining ground as well. “Rubellite from the early mines are gorgeous too – pinks, pink purples and reds. They are however very hard to find nowadays,” Page-Allies continued. Enduring value Rubellite is still among the star performers for Lunawat Gems, which supplies these to luxury jewellery brands, among other clients. The company cuts its coloured gemstones in Jaipur and sells these through its offices in Bangkok and Hong Kong. According to Shrenik Lunawat, director of Lunawat Gems, the shortage of good-quality rough has driven up rubellite prices since 2022. Stones that went for US$200 to US$250 per carat four years ago can now fetch US$600 to US$800. “Finer-quality rubellites can even command US$2,000 per carat. A few years ago, no one would have imagined that rubellite prices could reach these levels,” said Shrenik. At Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong 2024, Lunawat Gems purchased a five-kilogram rubellite rough from Nigeria and presented the polished gem-quality stones at the 2025 show. “We have not found anything this big and this nice since. Only low-quality material is coming into the market now,” Shrenik said. “We have to always keep looking for the fine, transparent, high-quality goods and invest as soon as we get the opportunity.” Colour preferences vary from market to market. Shrenik observed that pinkish-red rubellites perform well in Europe, while dark reds akin to rubies are preferred in India, China and Hong Kong. Bardiya agreed that ruby-red stones move well in China while pleasant vibrant rubellites are favoured by Italian jewellery designers and manufacturers. These regional preferences underscore the importance of tailoring offerings to specific customers. RMC Gems’ rubellite production comprises mainly medium- to high-quality stones, which are currently much sought after by professional trade buyers. Bardiya said, “India is showing the greatest potential for rubellite moving forward. Europe and the US are good clients too for the stone.” Chinese demand will, however, remain soft due to market resistance to higher prices. Customers from the mainland have yet to fully accept current prices, which are at least 40 per cent higher than pre-pandemic levels. “Moreover, raw material is scarce. Quality goods will cost even more,” he added. Tourmaline's popularity is poised to reach new heights as the gemstone continues to enchant markets with its vibrant hues and versatility. Rising consumer appetite for innovative and distinctive jewellery designs further cements its status as a premier option in the coloured gemstone world.
