Ruby

Ruby, the king of precious gems represents passion, love and success. Ruby is the July birthstone – and it’s one of the most coveted of gems. The name is derived from the Latin word ruber, meaning “red”. Few things catch the eye like the July birthstone. The finest colour of the birthstone for July is a deep red with a hint of purple, called “pigeon’s blood” in the trade. In past centuries, some believed this birthstone for July could predict misfortune or danger, and others claimed it would cure inflammatory diseases and soothe anger. Burmese warriors believed it made them invincible in battle. Medieval Europeans maintained that Rubies bestowed health, wisdom, wealth and success in love. In addition to being the July birthstone, Ruby is traditionally given for the 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries. Ruby is highly regarded and can command high per-carat prices. It is arguably one of the most important gems in the coloured stone market. Ruby from Burma is famous for its exceptional colouring, and has traditionally produced the finest Rubies.
