Previewing: 9K Yellow Gold Star Ruby Gents Ring

Legends & Lore

• With the earliest record for the mining of Rubies dating from more than 2,500 years ago, the historical mystique and beauty of Rubies is as colourful as the legends and lore that surround this most precious of gems.
  
  
• Ruby derives its name from the Latin word for red, "Rufus". Ruby is July's birthstone, the gemstone for Capricorns and the traditional fortieth anniversary gift.
  
  
• Prized throughout history, many believed that mystical powers lay hidden within this intensely coloured red gemstone. Furthermore, the fiery crimson colour of Rubies caused many civilizations to associate them with passion, love and romance. Rubies were also thought to bestow wisdom, health and luck in gambling.
  
  
• Mentioned in Sanskrit texts, the ancient Hindus were so enchanted by the colour of Rubies that they called them Ratnaraj "The King Of Gems". The ancient Hindus thought that the colours of Rubies were due to an inextinguishable fire that burned inside the gem, which would endow it's wearer with long life and even cause water to boil!
  
  
• As in Sanskrit texts, Biblical references to Ruby (all red gemstones were collectively called Carbuncle at this time) refer to it as a most precious gem. Interestingly, the gems called "Rubies" in the Old Testament may have actually been red spinels or garnets. Up until the Eighteenth Century, when chemical testing was improved, most red gems were called Rubies.
