Ruby jewellery; love, passion, desire and power.

Rubies are one of the most well known gems - indeed they are a precious gemstone and because of their stunning colour they have come to represent love, passion, desire and power. The name comes from the Latin "ruber", which means red. Ruby jewellery should be given for the birthstone of July.

What is ruby?

A ruby is a blood red or light pink gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum. The common red colour is caused by the element chromium. Sapphires are a distant cousin, being derived from the same mineral.

History of ruby.

Rubies are referred to in the Bible (Exodus 28:17) representing the tribe of Reuben. "A virtuous wife is worth more than rubies" is a quote from an English translation of the Bible! 90% of the world's rubies come from Myanmar, from which Thailand buys the majority. Rubies were frequently inlaid into armour and scabbards as well as ornate ceremonial goblets.

Reasons to buy ruby jewellery.

Ruby jewellery could be given as a 40th wedding anniversary present or to someone who was born in July (July birthstone). It's also associated with the zodiac signs of Leo and Cancer.
