July Jewelry
Ruby is a traditional July birthstone.
It is the March guardian angel (Malchediel) birthstone.
In ancient India, ruby was called the “king of precious stones” for its rarity, hardness (second only to diamond), beauty and seemingly mystical powers.
Long associated with the life force blood, ruby was a symbol of power and youthful energy.
Ancients maintained that rubies bestowed health, wisdom, wealth and success in love.
