The Essence of Ruby

Derived from the Latin word 'ruber', meaning red, Rubies are celebrated for their striking colour and brilliance. Primarily sourced from Myanmar (formerly Burma), Thailand, India, and Madagascar, Rubies are a variety of the mineral corundum, with their colour attributed to traces of chromium. The most coveted Rubies exhibit a vibrant red, often referred to as "pigeon's blood" due to their intense hue and slight purplish undertones.                                                                                                                          

Historical Majesty and Lore

Rubies have been esteemed since antiquity, symbolising love, courage, and protection. In ancient cultures, Rubies were believed to offer protection in battle, attract wealth, and even possess the power to predict danger. Medieval Europeans maintained that Rubies bestowed health, wisdom, and success in love, while in Asian countries, they were adorned by nobility as talismans of good fortune and divine favour.

Caring for Your Ruby Jewellery

Rubies, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, are remarkably durable, making them suitable for everyday wear. However, to maintain their lustre, it's advisable to clean Ruby jewellery with warm soapy water and a soft brush. It's also recommended to store Ruby pieces separately to avoid scratches from harder gemstones.
