As we celebrate July, we turn our attention to its captivating birthstone - the ruby. Known for its fiery red hue and rich symbolism, rubies have long been cherished as the "king of precious stones." At Hiba Jaber, we're honoring this magnificent gem with a modern twist in our Odd One Out collection.
The Magic of Rubies
Rubies have been prized with their deep red hue since ancient times. Their name comes from the Latin word "ruber," meaning red. In many cultures, rubies symbolize love, courage, and protection.
Key features of rubies:
Colour: The most valuable rubies have a pure, vibrant red to slightly purplish red colour.
Durability: Rubies rank 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamonds in hardness.
Rarity: Fine-quality rubies are exceptionally rare, often commanding higher prices than diamonds of comparable size.
Rubies in History and Culture
Throughout history, rubies have held a special place:
In ancient India, rubies were called the "king of precious stones."
Burmese warriors believed rubies made them invincible in battle.
In the Middle Ages, rubies were thought to grant wisdom, health, and success in love.
