The story: For centuries, the combination of ruby and diamond has embodied the union of passion and eternity. Taking its name from the Latin “ruber”, meaning “red”, the ruby symbolizes ardent love, courage and vitality. The diamond, whose name comes from the Greek “adamas”, meaning “indomitable”, is associated with purity, strength and fidelity. Highly prized in royal sets, these two precious stones were often combined to celebrate unions and lasting feelings. Beyond their symbolism, these two gems are among the most resistant: the ruby has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, while the diamond reaches the maximum of 10. Birthstones for the months of July and April, they together celebrate love that is both passionate and eternal.
