Ruby Jewellery

Known for thousands of years as the stone befit for kings, queens, and emperors, the fiery red ruby is a stone associated with nobility, as it was and continues to be rare. As a representation of the sun, the elements in the ruby are associated with its colour. For many, the colour symbolizes fire and blood, which implies heat and life flowing through you. Like no other birthstone, the ruby is perfect for expressing powerful feelings, and is known to stir an incomparable level of committed love and passion in an individual. It has been the first choice of stone to present as a wedding gift for centuries. Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum, and the red colour occurs from the presence of the element chromium that is found in most gemstones that vary in colour. The ruby is considered to be one of the four most precious stones, along with sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds.

Still one of the most sought-after gemstones, rubies come in a range of red hues, from purplish and bluish to orangey red. Depending on where the ruby is sourced, the colours may vary from a deep red to a red/purplish hue, yet all remain exquisite. Rubies are typically sourced through Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). Rubies are one of the hardest minerals on earth, making them a wonderful choice for an engagement ring, as they are incredibly durable gem for everyday wear. The ruby was one of Elizabeth Taylor's favourite stones, and her jewellery collection sold for over seven million dollars when it was auctioned by Christie's.

Rubies are deep, durable, and varying in colours, as is the depth and strength of your love when choosing to give a ruby to your partner for a birthday present or any other occasion. It is the ultimate stone to signify devotion, integrity, and everlasting happiness, and has been coveted in the Eastern world for its ability to bring energy, generosity, prosperity, and success to the wearer—a ruby is a perfect recipe for a beautiful relationship.
