Ruby, the birthstone for the month of July

Each month is linked to a birthstone, the month of July is associated with the ruby.

Ruby, which is called sūryain in Sanskrit, is one of the four major precious stones, prized for its intense red color. It is known to attract good luck and ward off evil spirits. Thus, Chinese warriors decorated their armors with them in order to defeat their enemies.

Today, it symbolizes carnal and passionate love. Ancient beliefs attributed to it the virtue of protecting its wearer against evil. Rubies are one of the most coveted precious stones after diamonds. It is ideal for women, supposed to drive away worries, heartbreak, and depression. Its deep and bright red color is due to the presence of chrome, although its hue may vary.

The Creator's Word

“The Ruby is the Sun. A symbol of fire, love and creativity, the ruby radiates powerful energy. It has always been attributed to it the power to purify, to ward off negative influences, and to attract the heart of a loved one, a mirror of their inner light. Its beauty and intensity are fully revealed when accompanied by sun-colored stones: orange sapphires, yellow sapphires, yellow diamonds, and fuchsia sapphires. This mixture creates a game of warm contrasts, vibrant with light. It is in contact with these gems that the ruby reveals all its depth and intensifies its aura. Among the most sought-after rubies are the so-called “pigeon heart” rubies, which come from Burma. Their deep red color, imbued with purity, evokes the warmth and comfort of genuine love.”
