Ruby - the King of Gemstones

The ruby is the true king of gemstones. For thousands of years considered to be the most precious gemstone in the world, its deep red colour symbolises passion, love and power as no other gemstone can.

Ruby is one of the hardest gemstones - its hardness is second only to diamond. The only other gemstone of equivalent hardness is sapphire, which is closely related to ruby.

Perfect rubies with no inclusions are extremely rare and very expensive (even dearer than diamonds). They are unlikely to be seen in everyday fine jewelry. The less transparent rubies are more affordable, although still precious.

Ruby jewelry is the perfect romantic gift - evoking emotions of warmth, passion and love. Rubies are also associated with courage and power that the red colour of blood symbolises.

Ruby is the birthstone for July and is recommended for 15th and 40th anniversaries.
