      About The July Birthstone Ring

      Rubies and sapphires are the two main colors of corundum. The ruby color comes from trace elements of chromium. Many rubies have been heat treated to make the color clearer; this is a permanent and widely accepted practice, but untreated rubies are much more expensive. Some of the most intensely red natural rubies come from Myanmar (previously known as Burma) and are still referred to as Burma rubies.

      The Black Prince’s Ruby, part of the British crown jewels, is actually a spinel. Before jewelers had sophisticated testing equipment, it was difficult to tell the difference. In addition to its bold color, ruby also has a natural fluorescence caused by the chromium in its structure, giving it a rich glow  when exposed to ultraviolet light.

      • Amazing Durability - Rubies and sapphires are some of the hardest gemstones, at 9.0 on the Mohs scale.
      • Burma Ruby - The most valuable color for a ruby is called “pigeon’s blood,” bright red with a hint of purple.
      • Famous Jewelers - In 1989, the famous jeweler Harry Winston created a pair of ruby slippers, made with actual rubies, for the 50th anniversary of the movie The Wizard of Oz. These slippers feature 1,350 carats of rubies and 50 carats of diamonds.
      • Magnificent Gemstones - Large rubies, especially untreated ones, are much rarer and more expensive than small ones. A ruby weighing over ten carats is usually more expensive than a diamond of the same size.
