Ancient Hindus considered rubies to be the &#8220;<strong>king of precious stones<\/strong>,&#8221; associating July&#8217;s birthstone with the life force due to its intense red hue. In Burma (modern-day Myanmar), warriors implanted rubies into their skin to make themselves invincible in battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Middle Ages, European royalty prized rubies as symbols of wealth and nobility. July&#8217;s birthstone was thought to bring success in love, guard health, and provide wisdom. During this time, many believed ruby would darken when danger was near, alerting the wearer to potential threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/the-ajc-guide-to-rubies\/\">The AJC Guide to Rubies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This prized gemstone was also believed to ensure peace between lovers and loyalty in friendships.

The amount of chromium determines the intensity of the red hue. The finest rubies are labelled &#8220;pigeon\u2019s blood&#8221; red. Rubies are highly durable (9 on the Mohs scale) making them ideal for daily wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-care-and-maintenance-of-rubies\">Care and Maintenance of Rubies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubies are highly durable, making them easier to care for than many other gemstones. To keep July&#8217;s birthstone looking vibrant, clean your ruby periodically with mild soap and warm water. While rubies are less prone to scratches, it\u2019s still best to store them away from other gemstones to prevent any accidental abrasion. Professional cleanings can also maintain the ruby&#8217;s luster over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ruby-in-jewellery-a-timeless-choice\">Ruby in Jewellery: A Timeless Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From engagement rings to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/antique-necklaces\/\">necklaces<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/antique-bracelets\/\">bracelets<\/a>, rubies bring a timeless appeal to any jewellery collection. This birthstone is especially popular for July babies and for those who appreciate a rich splash of ruby colour in their jewellery. Rubies also make meaningful gifts for milestones, particularly 40th anniversaries, which they traditionally represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its rich history, striking beauty, and deep symbolism, ruby is a powerful stone to mark July birthdays or to simply add a bit of fire to your look or collection.
