The Romance and Rarity of Rubies: A Gemstone Worth Treasuring

When you think of passion, power, and enduring love, one gemstone shines brighter than the rest: the ruby. Known as the “King of Precious Stones”, rubies have been prized for centuries by royalty, collectors, and romantics alike.
I adore rubies because they carry a warmth that’s unlike any other gem. The fiery red color, caused by traces of chromium, makes every ruby unique—no two stones are exactly the same. From deep pigeon-blood hues to softer pinkish tones, each ruby tells its own story.
Historically, rubies were believed to protect their wearer from harm and bring peace, prosperity, and success. Ancient warriors even wore rubies into battle as a talisman of strength and courage. Today, they’re cherished as July’s birthstone and as the classic 40th wedding anniversary gift—perfect symbols of devotion and resilience.
What makes rubies truly special is their rarity. Fine rubies are even scarcer than diamonds of the same size and quality. When paired with antique or estate settings, they become timeless heirlooms—pieces to be treasured for generations.
At Vintage Vault Treasures, I hand-select each ruby ring, necklace, or bracelet for its beauty, authenticity, and history. Whether you’re looking for a bold statement piece or something quietly elegant, a ruby is always the right choice when you want jewelry with heart and meaning.
Fun fact: In Sanskrit, rubies were called ratnaraj, meaning “king of precious stones.”
When you slip on a ruby, you’re not just wearing a gemstone—you’re carrying centuries of legend, love, and luxury on your hand.ry, Vintage Vault Treasures
