Collection: Ruby

Ruby is one of the most historically significant coloured stones. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, or “king of precious stones." and is associated with attributes like beauty and wisdom.

The name ruby comes from the Latin word ruber, which means “red." Ruby has been called the most precious of the 12 stones created by God.

Ruby retained its importance with the birth of the western world and became one of the most sought-after gems of European royalty and the upper classes. Many medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee health, wealth, wisdom and success in love.

Desire for ruby is just as great today as it always has been.

As a symbol of passion, ruby makes an ideal romantic gift, it is the birthstone for July and the gem for the 40th wedding anniversary.
