RUBY

"Ruby is regarded as the 'king of gems' "

Ruby the birthstone of July guarantees health, wisdom, wealth and success in love. It is derived from the Latin 'ruber', meaning red. In the Orient, rubies were once believed to contain the spark of life - 'a deep drop of the heart's blood of Mother Earth'. It is harder than any other natural gemstone except diamond, which means a ruby is durable enough for everyday wear.
