The story: Ruby, whose name comes from the Latin ruber meaning “red”, is a precious stone prized since ancient times for its intense and vibrant color. A symbol of passion, courage, and prosperity, the ruby was once considered the “king of gemstones” and was often worn by kings and warriors to protect themselves from danger. One of the most famous rubies is the British Crown Ruby, known as the “Black Prince’s Ruby”, a historic jewel mounted on the imperial crown. Ruby is a member of the corundum family, like blue sapphires. It is also the only color of sapphire that is referred to by another name. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby is durable and tough, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings that symbolize ardent love.
