Often said to be the most magnificent of all gemstones, the ruby holds fire red prominence as one of the most sought after and highly regarded stones. In fact, the boldly beautiful gem is often called the “king of stones.” With its name stemming from the Latin word for “red,” this striking beauty of a gem engenders notions of power and nobility.
The Meaning of Rubies
Thought of as the ultimate symbol of power, rubies are said to stimulate sensuality, energy and vitality.
Throughout history, the ruby has been highly regarded by multiple cultures. For many, it was symbolic of power, passion and protection. Throughout history, the ruby was worn as a decorative shield against plague and pestilence. It was also thought to be able to signal impending danger, safeguard the body and ward off sadness.
Today, the ruby is prized for its deeply intense beauty. It is also the birthstone of those lucky enough to be born in the month of July.
