Ruby Jewellery

The signature red colour of rubies has long associated this July birthstone with passion, affection, romance and energy. It is worn to attract and encourage love, making it a popular option for an engagement ring. Rubies are also known to symbolize royalty. As one of the most durable coloured gemstones, the ruby is also worn to provide protection.

Rubies are a top contender for jewellery that can be worn every day. They rank 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, second only to diamonds. Ruby earrings, ruby necklaces, ruby bracelets and ruby rings can all stand up to daily wear—just make sure you store your beautiful pieces away in a felt-lined jewellery box when you're not wearing them.

One of the best ways to tell if a ruby is real is by the gemstone's rich and vivid colour. The red of a ruby is so intense that it appears to glow, while fake rubies would seem duller in comparison. Rubies are also dense and heavy gemstones, denser even than diamonds, so they have a substantial feel in the hand. But don't worry, you don't have to check that your ruby jewellery is real when you buy from a trusted and reputable jeweller like us.

Ruby jewellery is best cleaned in warm, soapy water or with a special jewellery cleaning solution. Pat dry the jewellery before putting it back on or into storage.

Necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings with rubies are the perfect gift for any occasion! This stunning and sturdy gemstone is often gifted to parents of July babies, new graduates, romantic partners, best friends or family members.
