Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Six petite round rubies frame a single diamond accent in these delicate floral earrings, crafted from genuine sterling silver with an 18 karat yellow gold overlay. The stones have an opaque pink-red color and are held securely in prong settings. The petite flowers dangle from curved posts, and the earrings are secured with comfortable leverback closures. Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, is often given as a symbol of love or passion. This exceptionally durable gemstone is the birthstone for the month of July.
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.

Ruby is my birthstone. I've never had real rubies but always wanted some, so I took a chance on the one 5-star review that was already posted, as well as the bargain price. I'm so glad I did. These earrings are simply beautiful. They are tiny (be sure to check out the measurements listed), but you have to expect that for precious gems at this low price. They are still big enough to be seen and admired--I would call them a delicate size. They are subtly beautiful and perfect for my style, which is not flashy, garish, or look-at-me. As the description states, they are opaque, PINK-RED stones. The hinged lever-back clasps are sturdy and tight. I love the color--it's not quite fuchsia or magenta, but note that they are NOT PRIMARY RED. I'm using a Dell monitor, and the color is reproduced exactly on it. The center diamonds (diamond "chips" I believe) are minuscule but still add sparkle--the entire setting sparkles delightfully under incandescent lighting.

These are delicate and beautiful. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but the colors are so rich and they're very wearable... I can not wait to show these off!

My daughter wanted to get a great gift for her best friend's 14th birthday. She had limited funds, but wanted ruby and gold earrings. We went to all of the department stores and everything was more than ninety dollars. With little expectation we went on-line to Amazon.com and did a quick "Ruby Earring" search. These earrings were on the first page of results and my daughter was in love with them. They were perfect and completely affordable. As a matter of fact, there were so affordable that she bought two pair-one for her friend and one for herself. I was skeptical at the price and did not expect a quality product for such a low cost. The order came a day earlier than promised and they were not only beautiful and of good construction, but they also had gem information and care instructions to boot. My skepticism was gone. Thank you for a great experience!

Absolutely terrible
I would NOT recommend anyone to buy this item. It tarnishes way too easily. The gold plating is a joke. I would give it a 0 star if I could. I bought these in Sep 2009. Read more
