Frequently Asked Questions
We specialize in natural, ethically sourced rubies hand-selected at their source (including our direct sourcing relationships with ethical mines in regions like Sri Lanka). If you have a specific preference or budget requirement for a lab-grown or natural stone for a custom piece, our design team will happily accommodate and source exactly what you need.
Yes. Heirloom redesign is a massive part of what we do at our Kansas City workshop. We can extract your family rubies, check their structural integrity, and set them into an entirely new, modern signature piece like our interlocking line rings or a geometric pendant.
Because rubies are incredibly durable, they are simple to care for. Soak your piece in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap, then gently scrub around the setting with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Every piece purchased from Vinca also includes complimentary lifetime professional cleaning and safety inspections at our Plaza studio.
While it is the traditional birthstone for July and the milestone gemstone for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries, the ruby transcends tradition. Its fierce color makes it an incredible choice for non-traditional engagement rings or independent investment pieces meant to mark a personal victory.
