Ruby Jewelry Guide For July Birthdays

Red rubies have been worn for centuries to bring a bold splash of color and express passion, intensity, and regality. These gems will always garner attention, their fiery hue ranging in undertones from warm yellows and oranges to cool purples and blues, but always retaining that characteristic red. Whether you are shopping for yourself or another, browse our guide to ruby jewelry from our team at BARONS Jewelers that will add energy and intrigue to any ensemble.

About The Ruby

Sometimes referred to as the “king of gemstones,” rubies are one of the rarest gems in the world. History reveals that rubies have been prized and traded since 200 BC.

A substance called chromium gives the ruby its color and fluorescence, allowing the gem to appear to glow. Since ancient times, these stones have been revered, symbolizing prosperity, protection, and passion.

Statement-Making Ruby Rings

These enchanting stones are not meant to blend in. As the wearer moves throughout the day, a glittering ruby ring will catch the light and draw attention. Choose either a piece that will stand alone audaciously or one that will add richness to a stack of various rings.

Eternity bands feature a row of gems that encircle the ring entirely or almost entirely. This TACORI Sculpted Crescent ring, for instance, is covered in bezel set rubies and will make for a beautiful stacking piece. On the other hand, a ring such as this Tempera ring, with its distinctive pear shaped silhouette, will succeed in making a statement.

Dainty Ruby Bracelets

Accentuate formal wear looks or elevate an everyday ensemble with a delicate ruby bracelet. A piece like this mixed metal ruby bracelet from Yael juxtaposes rich rubies with crystal clear diamonds for an even more luxurious sparkle.

A piece like this gold cuff bracelet features one singular ruby accompanied by a smaller diamond. This makes a more subdued statement while allowing the wearer to incorporate this magical stone into their look.

Glittering Ruby Earrings

Whether you are seeking to make the ruby the star of your ensemble or allow it to play a supporting role, ruby earrings are sure to make a luxurious statement.

Choose a pair of eccentric drop earrings featuring eye-catching metalwork and plenty of fiery rubies to boldly frame your face, or a more pared-back pair of ruby studs that will glint and glimmer in the light but won’t steal the show.

Enchanting Ruby Necklaces

A necklace is a perfect medium to give the glamorous ruby the spotlight it deserves. Resting in the center of your frame, a necklace featuring one or multiple rubies will draw the eye with its warm, inviting hue and add an air of regality to the wearer’s aesthetic.

If you’re going to wear rubies, you may as well do so with boldness, as these stones positively beg to be seen. A setting like this Simon G. Passion necklace honors the ruby as the true king of gems.
