Ruby Ring 3

Material: Ruby, silver gold-plated
Order Number: RR3

Rubies are one of the most popular traditional jewelry gems and are exceptionally durable.

The word ruby comes from ruber, Latin for red. 

Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July.

Large, gem-quality rubies can be more valuable than comparably sized diamonds and are rarer. 

Over the centuries, many cultures have associated them symbolically with wealth and power. One of their chief attractions was the protection from misfortune and illness they supposedly afforded their lucky owners.

Rubies have always been held in high esteem in Asian countries. They were used to ornament armour, scabbards, and harnesses of noblemen in India and China. Rubies were laid beneath the foundation of buildings to secure good fortune to the structure.

A traditional Hindu astrological belief holds rubies as the gemstone of the Sun and also the heavenly deity Surya the leader of the nine heavenly bodies.

The belief is that worshiping and wearing rubies causes the Sun to be favourable to the wearer.

The world’s most valuable ruby to be sold at auction is the Estrela de Fura, which sold for US$34.8 million.
