Ruby, the king of precious gems, is the birthstone for fortunate folks born during the month of July. Symbolic of the passion and energy associated with the color red, the vibrant ruby is said to bring love and success. Whether you’re showing your love for someone born in July, or celebrating a 15th or 40th wedding anniversary, there’s no better gift than ruby.
These fiery gems have been treasured throughout history for their vitality. The chromium that gives ruby its red color also causes fluorescence, which makes rubies glow like a fire from within. Few rubies actually grow large enough to crystallize into fine quality gems, and these can bring even higher prices than diamonds.
Like diamonds, rubies are evaluated using the 4Cs; cut, color, clarity, and carats. The most important feature of a ruby is its red color, as other hues of this gem species are considered sapphire. Rubies also require good transparency, opaque rubies are much less valuable. All natural rubies contain imperfections, which can actually increase the value of ruby and are often used to determine a gem’s authenticity.
