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.
