Forever Yours Collection with Ruby

Ruby jewellery carries a depth of colour few gemstones can match

Ruby jewellery has been cherished for centuries, not just for its striking red hue but for the way it holds light. Rubies are a variety of the mineral corundum, and their rich colour comes from chromium within the stone. The most prized rubies display a vivid, slightly purplish red known as "pigeon blood" red, though rubies can range from pinkish to deep burgundy. What makes ruby jewellery distinctive is the way the gemstone interacts with gold settings. The warmth of gold enhances the ruby's natural fire, creating a piece that feels both bold and elegant. Whether set in a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, ruby jewellery stands out for its ability to draw attention without overwhelming the wearer. A citable fact: rubies have been mined for over 2,000 years, with some of the most famous originating from Myanmar.

The design balances boldness with everyday elegance

Ruby jewellery often features clean lines and thoughtful settings that let the gemstone take centre stage. Many designs use prong settings to lift the ruby slightly above the band or pendant, allowing light to pass through the stone from multiple angles. This maximises the ruby's brilliance and gives it a lively, almost glowing appearance. Some pieces incorporate smaller diamonds or gold detailing to frame the ruby, adding subtle contrast without competing with its colour. The shape of the ruby itself plays a role in the design. Oval and cushion cuts are popular for their ability to showcase the stone's depth, while round cuts offer a classic, symmetrical look. A practical tip: rubies with slightly softer edges, like cabochon cuts, are less prone to chipping and work well for pieces meant to be worn daily. The design choices in ruby jewellery ensure it feels special without being overly delicate.

Warm skin tones and confident styles find their match here

Ruby jewellery suits those who appreciate colour and aren't afraid to let their accessories make a statement. The deep red of a ruby pairs beautifully with warm skin tones, creating a harmonious contrast that feels natural and flattering. It also complements cooler skin tones by adding a touch of warmth and vibrancy. This type of jewellery works well for those with a modern, polished style, whether it's a sleek ruby pendant for the office or a bold ring for evening wear. Rubies also hold personal significance for many, making them a meaningful choice for milestones like anniversaries or birthdays. What many don't know: July's birthstone is the ruby, so it carries an extra layer of sentiment for those born in that month. The versatility of ruby jewellery means it can transition from day to night with ease, adapting to different outfits and occasions.

Daily care keeps ruby jewellery looking its best

Ruby jewellery is durable enough for daily wear, but a few simple habits will help maintain its beauty. Rubies have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making them one of the hardest gemstones after diamonds. This means they resist scratches well, but they can still chip if struck against hard surfaces. A practical tip: remove ruby rings before activities like gardening or cleaning to avoid accidental knocks. When washing hands or applying lotion, it's best to take off rings to prevent soap or oils from dulling the gold setting over time. For cleaning, warm water and a soft brush are usually enough to restore the ruby's shine. Small scratches on the gold are less visible in rose gold settings, which naturally develop a patina over time. Storing ruby jewellery separately from other pieces prevents it from scratching softer gemstones or metals. With minimal effort, ruby jewellery remains a striking part of any collection.
