Faceted red gemstone, likely ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), colored red by chromium; identification from the image is uncertain
Red cabochon ring, likely ruby or synthetic ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly chromium-bearing ruby; the image cannot establish whether it is natural or synthetic
Red faceted gemstone, possibly ruby (identification uncertain)
Ruby, if natural: corundum (Al₂O₃) colored by chromium
