 Rubies...Which
color would you spontaneously associate with love and vivacity, passion
and power? It's obvious, isn't it? Red. Red is the color of love. It
radiates warmth and a strong sense of vitality. And red is also the
color of the ruby, the king of the gemstones. For thousands of years,
the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones on
Earth. It has everything a precious stone should have: magnificent
color, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. In addition to
that, it is an extremely rare gemstone. The most important thing about
this precious stone is the color. It was not for just any reason that
the name "ruby" was derived from the Latin word rubens meaning red. The
red of the ruby is incomparable: warm and fiery. Two magical elements
are associated with the symbolism of this color: fire and blood,
implying warmth and life for mankind. So ruby red is not just any old
color, no, it is an absolutely undiluted, hot, passionate, powerful
color. Like no other gemstone, the ruby is the perfect way to express
powerful feelings. Instead of symbolizing calm, controlled affection, a
ring set with a precious ruby bears witness to that passionate,
unbridled love that people can feel for each other. Ruby is the
birthstone for July. |
