Throughout history, rubies have captivated civilisations with their vivid red hue and mystical allure. From ancient Burma (now Myanmar) to the royal courts and palaces of Europe, these precious gems were believed to hold divine powers, bringing protection, prosperity, and vitality to those who wore them.
Over the centuries, ruby has remained one of the most cherished gemstones, earning another moniker as the July birthstone. Its colour, reminiscent of a burning flame, is thought to convey love, passion, and unyielding strength. In addition to its allure and rarity, the ruby’s rich history and symbolism enhance its status beyond mere ornament. It’s a gemstone celebrated not only for its beauty but also for the meaning it represents.
Why Rubies Make Meaningful Gifts
Its symbolism makes ruby an especially meaningful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, personal achievements, and other occasions that call for something rare and heartfelt. As a July birthstone, a jewellery piece featuring its intense red hue makes it a luxurious adornment to be worn, treasured, and passed on for generations.
This rare gemstone is also celebrated for its durability, ranking just below diamonds on the Mohs scale. That strength, paired with its historical significance and rarity, makes ruby a cherished heirloom piece.

Make Your Ruby Jewellery Last a Lifetime
Like any treasured possession, ruby jewellery deserves thoughtful care. To maintain its brilliance, clean your ruby pieces gently with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals and always store them separately to prevent scratches.
For added protection, consider using a fabric-lined jewellery box or individual pouches to shield your July birthstone jewellery from contact with other gemstones or metals. When travelling, opt for a dedicated travel case with secure compartments.
We recommend bringing your ruby jewellery in for professional inspection and cleaning at least once a year. This ensures your stones remain secure and your settings maintain their elegance, so your ruby can shine just as brightly decades from now.
