If you’re considering a new jewelry purchase in the near future, rubies should be on your radar. These precious gemstones have a rich history steeped in lore and legend, and have been coveted, admired, and prized for thousands of years by cultures all over the globe. In fact, they were once used as talismans to attract good fortune and prosperity while simultaneously repelling evil and illness, and were even believed to have the power to warn the wearer of impending danger by changing color.
Although we no longer ascribe these supernatural powers to rubies, we still appreciate their tremendous beauty and rarity. That’s why our fascination with rubies has endured for millennium and why these gems remain very popular choices for birthday, wedding, and anniversary jewelry gifts today.
But what else makes rubies so special even in modern times? Here are just a few reasons that immediately spring to mind:
• Their distinctive fiery red color is unmatched by other gems
• Their hardness is on par with sapphires and second in nature only to diamonds, so they are extremely durable and easy to care for
