Ruby

A ruby is a pinkish red to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum. Since ancient times, rubies—fire-red gems belonging to the corundum family—have captured people’s hearts. Their vivid hue, which ranges from intense crimson to brilliant pigeon blood red, represents strength, passion, and love. They are perfect for heirloom jewellery pieces because of their hardness and durability. The allure and uniqueness of rubies are enhanced by internal inclusions, which can occasionally produce the entrancing star-like effect known as asterism.
