A ruby is a red gem used in Crafting and Fletching. Rubies can be cut from uncut rubies with level 34 Crafting by using a chisel, granting 85 experience. When used with a furnace and jewellery mould, they can be used to make ruby jewellery.

A one-time reward of two cut rubies can be obtained by using a chisel and hammer on Thammaron's throne during The Golem quest. Four cut rubies are also obtained as a reward for completing Olaf's Quest.
