About Ruby Gemstones
Ruby is one of the four recognised precious gemstones, alongside diamond, sapphire and emerald. A variety of the mineral corundum, ruby gets its rich red colour from traces of chromium, and the finest stones — often called "pigeon's blood" rubies — display a deep, vivid red with a hint of blue. Rubies rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them one of the most durable gemstones available and an excellent choice for everyday jewellery such as earrings and rings.
Traditionally associated with passion, protection and vitality, ruby is the birthstone for July and a popular choice for 40th wedding anniversary gifts. Its striking colour also makes it a natural complement to diamonds, as seen in classic cluster settings like this pair — a style that has remained popular for generations.
