‘Ratanraj’ meaning ‘the king of gemstones’ is the Sanskrit name of this precious gemstone. The name ruby comes from a Latin word ‘ruber’ meaning red. The red of ruby reflects passion, joy, anger and so many other feelings that no other gemstone does. The gemstone contains an inner fire which brings out the fierce red color. This beautiful gemstone is therefore a true reflection of beauty with feelings. It is for this reason that ruby is the most popular amongst all other gemstones.

From hundreds of years gemstones are acknowledged and appreciated. Kings used rubies in their swords, crowns, and garments earning immense respect and worth. The crown of Charles IV of Luxembourg from the 1300s held a ruby that was a massive 250 carats. Rubies are amongst the most highly sought after gems in history and a symbol of everlasting love. No other gem can be compared to this supremely beautiful and valuable glowing red gemstone.

Rubies are cousins of sapphires and come from the same family of corundum. They are only next to diamonds in hardness. The color plays an important role in determination of a good piece of ruby. The most precious rubies are deep fiery red with not too much purple hue. The most preferred color is a deep blood red with a slightly bluish hue. Such ruby is known as "Pigeon's Blood Ruby". The cut and clarity comes at the later stages but they too are important in realizing the worth of rubies. The best of ruby is hard, deep colored and outstandingly striking.

Ruby jewelry has always been popular with people. It not only enhances the beauty of one’s attire but also adds to its charm. The bold color and sparkle of the rubies charm anyone and everyone. Ruby jewellery can be worn as daily wear or can be saved for the special occasions.
