A History Written in Red
Revered in cultures across the world, rubies have long been associated with royalty and romance. In ancient India, they were called ratnaraj—"king of precious stones"—and were believed to hold the power of life. In medieval Europe, warriors wore rubies into battle for courage. Today, they remain one of the most prized gemstones, with top-quality stones sometimes commanding prices higher than diamonds.
The Meaning of Ruby
Rubies symbolize passion, love, and vitality, making them a perfect gift for a significant other, a powerful self-purchase, or a meaningful birthday gift for those born in July. Their vibrant red color is also believed to ignite creativity and foster inner strength.
