The name ruby comes from the term ‘ruber’, the Latin word for red, but they can actually vary in colour from a vibrant pink to a rich blood red, all equally beautiful. Regardless, whether it’s closer to a pink blush colour or a scarlet sunset, the ruby remains one of the most instantly recognisable and well-known gemstones in the world.
Ruby jewellery is beautiful for any occasion but is recognized as the birthstone for July, so is particularly poignant for summer birthdays. Also associated with 15th and 40th anniversary milestones, rubies make the perfect choice to mark these special occasions.
Rubies have a rich history of symbology and have been attributed many different meanings in different cultures. From the stone of kings, rich with passion and protection, to the stone of warriors, symbolising strength and protection from harm in battle.
Ruby Rings
Rings have been worn since ancient times to adorn the body with fine precious metals and dazzling gemstones, often given as gifts to signify commitment, love, marriage, birth and friendship.
In western cultures it is usual for proposals of marriage to be made with an engagement ring, and for couples to exchange wedding bands as they make their marriage vows to each other. Eternity rings are often given to mark the birth of a child, or to represent a significant wedding anniversary.
