There’s more to July than fireworks and lazy summer days. People born during this month will find their birthstone sparkles like the late afternoon sun. The luxurious ruby is found naturally in locations around the world, highly sought after for its array of rich red shades. While Burmese rubies are famed for their robust, dark red coloration with just a touch of blue to add depth to their fiery appearance, these stones are also found in varying shades of red. Ruby and diamond engagement rings, for example, may include stones that range from that famed deep, dark red to those that deliver such hues as pinkish red, pigeon blood and everything in between.
Rubies have long been associated with wisdom, health and love. It was once believed that rubies had the power to bestow good fortune on their owners and others believed they ignited the fires of passion. While their beauty makes July’s birthstone one of the world’s most highly prized gems, their strength makes them enduring. Rated a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, they trail just behind diamonds and tie their cousins, sapphires, when it comes to strength. Their luscious appearance and enduring quality has made them not only the official birthstone for July, but also the traditional gift to give to those celebrating their 15th or 40th anniversaries.
At Israel Diamonds, we celebrate the fiery beauty of July’s birthstone every day of the year by offering an extensive collection of ruby jewelry.
