The word “ruby” has been derived from Latin word ‘rubber’ meaning ‘red’.

The red colour in the gemstone ruby is due to the presence of the element chromium in it. Ruby is considered to be one of the most important precious gemstones, together with sapphire, emerald and diamond. Red is the colour that represents passion, vibrancy, love and power. Hence, this gemstone is also considered to be a possessor of many desirable qualities, as it is also red in colour. Ruby is associated with being a July birthstone, and there is a tradition of gifting Ruby on the 15th and 40th marriage anniversaries to celebrate as well as ensure a long and prosperous married life.

Available Colours

Rubies may be available in many shades of red, ranging from pinkish to purplish or even a brownish red, depending upon its chromium and iron content.

In ancient times, this gemstone was known as the ‘king of gems’, as it had everything that one would desire in a precious stone – magnificent colour, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. Large rubies are rarely found, and in some cases, they may even be more valuable than a diamond of the same size.
