Your questions, answered
What is the July birthstone?
Ruby is the July birthstone. It is the red variety of corundum, the same mineral as sapphire.
What does ruby mean?
Ruby has long been linked with love, passion and courage. In ancient Sanskrit it was called ratnaraj, the king of precious stones.
Are your July birthstone pieces real ruby?
Most are set with ruby CZ. Our Dark Ruby necklaces in gold vermeil and sterling silver feature natural ruby and the raw styles have an uncut look, so each product page lists the exact stone.
Is ruby the 40th anniversary stone?
Yes, ruby is the traditional gift for a 40th wedding anniversary, and it suits a 40th birthday just as well. The Dark Ruby 40th Birthday or Ruby Anniversary necklaces were designed for exactly that.
