The name for ruby in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit is “ratnaraj,” which translates to “king of precious stones.” Thus, people highly seek out ruby as a “regal” gemstone. Many believe that wearing ruby brings wealth, protection, and a passion for life. This rich colored stone comes from exotic locations such as Vietnam, Madagascar, Thailand, and Myanmar, the once-famous Burma ruby location.

Ruby comes from the gemstone family known as corundum and gets its rich red from the trace element of chromium. The more chromium there is, the higher saturated the stone is! Additionally, rubies rank nine on MOH’s scale for hardness, signifying their high durability, making them suitable for everyday wear. Also, they are the birthstone for July and the gemstone for a 15th and 40th anniversary.
