Birthstone: July
Anniversary: 15th, 40th
Known as "Ratnaraj" or "king of gems" in Sanskrit, ruby's name derives from Latin words meaning red—the only red variety of corundum, while all other colors are classified as sapphires. The finest specimens come from Myanmar's legendary mines, while Thailand produces rubies noted for their superior clarity and deep red coloring. This precious gem has captivated cultures worldwide with its fiery brilliance and symbolic power.
Associated with passion, good luck, and personal inspiration throughout history, medieval Europeans believed rubies brought wisdom, wealth, and success in matters of love and health. Their intense red hue symbolizes the heart and life force, making them perfect for pieces that celebrate deep emotions and powerful connections—jewelry that carries the energy of love and courage.
