July Birthstone: The Ruby

Known as the “King of Precious Gemstones”, rubies have been around for centuries. the rarity and prestige of these stones made them highly sought after by the wealthy and royal. Many would simply admire the ruby’s beauty without setting the stone into jewelry.

While now it symbolizes love and romance, it used to be seen as a safety, a curer of diseases, and a symbol of integrity. Ancient warriors used to implant rubies under their skin as a sign of protection and invincibility.

The ideal cover of a ruby is described as “pigeon’s blood”. The rarity of this can make rubies cost more than diamonds in some cases.
