Ruby, the birthstone for July, is all about passion, love, and energy. Known for its deep red glow, this gem has been a favourite of kings, warriors, and romantics for centuries. At Vendi, we bring you the beauty of ruby in a way that’s both elegant and accessible—so you can wear a piece of timeless charm without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re born in July or just love the bold colour and meaning of rubies, this guide will help you understand why ruby jewellery is so special—and how to find the perfect piece at Vendi.
What Makes Ruby So Special?
The word “ruby” comes from the Latin ruber, meaning red. Rubies range from soft pink to deep crimson, with the most prized shade being rich red with a hint of purple—known as “pigeon’s blood”.
Part of the corundum family like sapphires, ruby’s red hue comes from traces of chromium. More chromium means a deeper, more vivid red.
Ruby isn’t just any red gem—it’s powerful, symbolic, and incredibly durable.
