• Ruby gemstones are said to represent passion, purity and nobility. They are valued by many cultures all around the world and people connect the Ruby to commitment and love. It was also known that many ancient crowns were also decorated with Rubies due to their representation of joy, fortune and the belief that, when worn by the king, his enemies would fear him more.

Ruby gemstones are the birthstone for July and are gifted for 40th wedding anniversaries. The name is derived from the latin word “ruber “ meaning “red”. This Ruby in particular is a slightly lighter, more pink shade of red, different from the deep “pigeons blood” red ruby.
