July Birthstone: 11 Ruby jewellery pieces to dream of this month
mis à jour le 1 July 2016 à 00:00
These shimmering scarlet jewels are all kinds of impressive.
We’ve featured dreamy emerald jewellery for the month of May, and luscious pearl pieces for June. Now, feast your eyes on these spectacular ruby numbers that will leave you speechless. Vivid and eye-catching, rubies are much-coveted precious gemstones that look simply beautiful against various skin tones. They can appear striking and stark against pale skin, and look incredibly regal and luxurious against darker skin.
The name “ruby” actually derives from the Latin word “ruber”, meaning red. In the 1880s, the ruby was considered the "gem of gems” or the “dearly loved stone” by French jewellers. The gemstone has long symbolised love and friendship. Thus, there is no better way to show your appreciation and devotion to a special someone than by giving them ruby jewellery, especially if they were born in the month of July.
