About Birthstone Jewelry

July Birthstone: Ruby

Known as "king of the gems" in ancient Sanskrit, the ruby has long been prized for its rarity and its passionate red hue. Those born in July wear rubies as symbols of beauty, love, happiness, and good fortune.

History of Birthstones

Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.

There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little ring, great little price, August 15, 2009

This review is from: 18k Yellow Gold Plated Sterling Silver Diamond-Accent and Ruby Flower Ring, Size 9 (Jewelry)

The picture looks exactly like the ring in design. The cheap price (about $12/15 on sale) was hard to pass up. Runs true to size. The design is interesting and that makes the ring worth the price paid. The stones are not an amazing bonus, rather kind of dull and flat looking. The stones in this picture were more hot pink than the actual ring I got which is a lighter, but solid, pink. It's the gold design that makes the ring, the pink is there for a little color accent. It's comfortable to wear and doesn't snag things. It looks nice on the hand and certainly doesn't look like a cheap ring. Might be more brilliant if I get it professionally cleaned, even though that will cost about what I paid for it.

Wow! 25 bucks AND free shipping! Item Came a lot faster than I expected and had a nice velvet pouch to keep it in. I usually shop on-line jewelry auctions and am used to waiting three weeks or more for my purchases.
This was exactly as advertised. Great product, great price, great service. THANKS!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bit different, but love it all the same, May 19, 2009

This review is from: 18k Yellow Gold Plated Sterling Silver Diamond-Accent and Ruby Flower Ring, Size 7 (Jewelry)

Compared to the actual ring I received, the brilliancy of the ruby is duller and the color is more of a maroon shade (which looks quite nice, don't get me wrong). I don't even notice the diamonds in the middle, just as I didn't when I looked at the picture, and looks more like dipped metal.

The ring as a whole is really quite nice, if you do realize that this isn't a two hundred dollar ring, but very suitable to be given to a friend or loved one and have it look beautiful on their finger. The gold gives it a solid and elegant feel, and the detail work adds onto that feeling.

Also, as a added note, the shipping from this company is very good. I received the ring about a week after I ordered it.

Overall, this ring receives a three from me mainly because of the description and the actual thing, but I do still quite love it and it is a very nice ring that I plan to give to someone special.
