Ruby- The birthstone for July
Looking to add some serious color to an outfit? Want to wear a piece of nature that was believed to be the tears of the gods? Want to add a piece of jewelry to your collection that is filled with passion, emotion and an incredibly powerful history? Look no further than Ruby, with its fierce red and all its natural glory!
Rubies, with their exciting and eye-catching reddish color, are a universal symbol of passion, confidence and love. Rubies are among the most mythical of gemstones – each culture has their own unique story about rubies and their powers. In the middle Ages, the ruby was viewed as a stone with the power to tell the future; people believe it would darken when the wearer was in danger. In the 16th century, rubies were thought to counteract with poison, which made rubies an incredibly sought after gemstone at the time! Even to this day, people believe that if you rub a ruby on your skin, the ruby will restore youth and vitality.
Rubies are second only to diamonds in hardness, which makes rubies and ruby jewelry a perfect gift to be passed on from generation to generation. Rubies, like emeralds, are as much about their inclusions (or natural internally-placed minerals or fractures) as they are about their color. If you see a very clean ruby with very few visible flaws inside, be very careful! Almost all rubies have natural inclusions that were formed during the intense pressure (also known as Angara) within the earth. Those that don’t have inclusions are said to be flawless, which is extremely rare. In many unfortunate cases, a “flawless” or “eye-clean” or “slightly included” ruby is only like that because the polishers have used methods to unnaturally enhance the ruby, such as extracting natural inclusions and replacing them with glass. This is not a natural process and dramatically reduces its value (sometimes to almost worthless). At Angara, we do not glass-fill any of our rubies.
Rubies are generally thought of as a red gemstone, but they actually come in a wide array of shades of red – from pinkish red to purplish red and everything in-between. Typically, true red and “Pigeon Red” (red with a hint of blue) are the most sought after, though true pigeon red is mainly for collectors and the very, very wealthy. At Angara, we have thousands of rubies of every shape, color and quality available directly from the source, so whatever shade you are looking for, we are sure to have it, in all of its 100% natural beauty, at a fraction of the prices elsewhere guaranteed.
Ruby is the birthstone for July, the month where some of the USA is warm but most is scorching hot. Passionate summer love, hot nights on the town, everyone is filled with life in July – what a perfect month for this perfect, passionate, lively red gemstone!
