Nothing says "I love you" like a gorgeous, deep red ruby. Ruby jewelry has been enjoyed by royalty for centuries, and they are much treasured pieces by gemstone lovers today.
Rubies are one of the only truly red gemstones, whch is one of the reasons ruby jewelry has always been so prized. However, ruby jewelry is often not red. You'll find stunning rubies in deep red-violet to true red.
Star ruby jewelry is set with a red-violet gem with a white highlight inside the stone. A quality star ruby will have a star that travels across the face of the stone depending on the angle from which you look. Another rare stone is the African ruby, a fabulous bright magenta gem.
An interesting stone found in ruby jewelry is actually a hybrid gem. Anyolite with ruby is a combination of the bright green anyolite with stunning red-violet ruby. These gems are sometimes found together and make a fabulous piece of jewellry.
