Ruby, birthstone for July.
Ruby is in the corundum family along with sapphire because of its very similar qualities.
The rich red of the ruby is produced by the presence of chromic oxide.
The most desirable rubies are generally those with an intense red colour and are known as pigeon blood red.
These set alongside diamonds make exquisite pieces of jewellery, especially ladies dress and eternity rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets as it also marks the anniversary of 40 years of marriage.
Rubies have always been held in high esteem in Asian countries.
Rubies were known to be laid beneath the foundation of buildings to secure good fortune.
We have a variety of ruby jewellery in store for you to view and make bespoke items to order.
