Rubies are one of the most treasured gemstones, admired for their vivid red color and timeless symbolism.
History of Rubies
Rubies have been cherished for thousands of years, often called the “king of gemstones.” From ancient India to Burma, they were symbols of power, passion, and protection. Royalty prized rubies for their rich red glow, which was believed to hold the fire of life itself.
Key Characteristics
Color
The most prized rubies show a vivid red with a hint of blue, known as “pigeon blood red.”
Clarity
Most rubies contain inclusions, but fewer visible inclusions increase their value and rarity.
Cut
A well-cut ruby enhances brilliance, bringing out its natural fire and sparkle.
Symbolism
Rubies symbolize love, vitality, and courage. They are traditional gifts for 40th anniversaries and are believed to bring prosperity and protect the heart. In many cultures, rubies are seen as stones of passion and eternal energy.
Care Tips
- Clean rubies with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes.
