Ruby Jewelry, Lord Of The Gems
Because of its rarity and beauty Ruby is known as the "Lord of the gems".It means red derived from the latin word "rubber" Ruby is the birthstone for those born in the month of July and is the Zodiacal lucky charm for those born under the sun sign of Cancer. It is an ideal gift for those celebrating their 15th and 40th wedding anniversary. It is also considered lucky to wear Ruby jewelry on Tuesdays. In the Corundum family rubies are the most valuable members. It is known as the stone of love and is capable of reconciling lover's quarrels. Now, let us go through the history and the genuineness of ruby jewelry.
The Ruby in History:
Rubies were prized especially by royalty throughout the ancient and medieval periods. In many crowns and other jewelry they could be found. However, at the time they had difficulty distinguishing the difference between rubies and spinel . For nearly 1000 years rubies are known to be mined. Some of the most prominent rubies have come from Afghanistan, including the mines at Jegdalek-Gandamak, which is located near Kabul province. There is a legend that when a ruby turns a deeper red, it signifies danger for the wearer
Two sides of ruby jewelry:
It is believed that those who wear Rubies are blessed with abundance of wealth and wonderful children are born to them. The wearer is courageous and always happy as sorrow and pain is warded away by this gemstone. But, this is possible only if the Ruby is genuine, as on the other hand a defected red gemstone spells trouble. One of the most prominent defects one encounters is black color spread across the gem. According to Astrologers and Gemologists a dull red gemstone brings problems to the family and a Ruby that is more of a maroon shade or double-shaded brings problems to the parents. A spotted ruby can cause distress due to wounds which is another common defect.
Color Variations:
· The most desirable gemstones and in highest demand are the vivid ,intense reds similar to the Burmese ruby
· Some rubies are red with yellowish to orange tones.
· Blue to purple tones are some other shades in which rubies can be found.
Superior and inferior quality of Ruby Jewelry:
Placing a ruby in the sunlight is one of the easiest methods of finding the genuineness of a ruby jewelry. If the gemstone produces red rays then it is of superior quality. When a ruby is rubbed on a stone it does not lose any weight which is another aspect of superior quality . On the other hand the inferior quality are dull, may have cracks or depressions, may lack in shine and maybe brittle.
In the corundum family rubies are the most valuable ones.Large gem quality rubies can be more valuable than comparably sized diamonds and are certainly rarer. We associate the color red with the universal feelings of love and passion, so it's no wonder that ruby jewelry has always been in demand. Ruby jewelry and gemstones are given as a symbol of success, devotion, integrity, health and passion. It was once believed that if worn in a ring on the left hand or in a brooch on the left side, it would give the magical ability to live in peace among enemies. The ruby is a very brilliant stone and is also a very hard, durable, and wearable stone. Because of these characteristics, ruby makes an unusually fine choice for any piece of jewelry.
