Ruby: The King of Gemstones

Few gemstones capture the imagination quite like the ruby. With its deep red glow and timeless symbolism, the ruby has been treasured for centuries as a symbol of passion, power, and protection. Often referred to as the “King of Gemstones,” it continues to hold a special place in both history and modern jewelry.

What Is a Ruby?

Ruby is a precious gemstone belonging to the mineral family corundum—the same group that produces sapphires. What sets ruby apart is its rich red color, caused primarily by the presence of chromium. The intensity of this red can vary from soft pinkish tones to deep, vivid crimson, often described as “pigeon blood red,” the most prized shade.
