July’s Birthstone: Ruby Jewelry

The brilliantly bold yet sultry color of a precious ruby gemstone is enough to easily take away every person’s breath who lays eyes upon it.  While the stone may have waned slightly in popularity over the past few decades, the desire of designers to draw inspiration from antique pieces has lead many jewelers to embrace the elegance of the old world ruby to become an alluring remade fashion worthy adornment.  Therefore, the rise in fine designer jewelry pieces has brought the ruby back into the trendy spotlight as a way to add a sexy fire and warmth to your total look and jewelry collection in general.  Whether you need to have a selection which you can wear for daily bejeweled fashion or you are constantly searching through the collections of jewelry designers to discover the perfect shimmering type of jewelry for one of the defining moments in your life, ruby is a precious gemstone which you definitely need look into before you waste your free time trudging through the swamp of lesser stones.  Also, it should be noted that gifts for those born in July come into play as July birthstone jewelry are created around rubies—representing the hot and deep fires of summer itself.

The simple selection of rubies in general can easily bring a strong sense of allure and glamor into your personal high fashion collection.  Yet, narrowing down a variety of ruby jewelry can help you if you are just starting to build your bold red gem set.  Ruby rings can be shaped into almost any common cut like any other precious gemstone—no matter which look you prefer.  The rich red shade looks really good in angular cuts though, such a simple square cut or perhaps even an emerald cut.  If you cannot decide which shape you like best, why not try ruby stackable rings so that you can get many different cuts without having to compromise!  Diamonds do not need to be left out of the mix though as rubies and diamonds have long been associated with bringing out the best in each other to create a unique and alluring ruby and diamond band.  In order to properly accent your ruby ring, you should try out a matching set of ruby earrings that work with the particular cut you picked out for the rubies held in your ring settings.  However, mixing and matching cuts to keep with thered ruby but still allowing for multiple angles of shimmering can provide a special jewelry set.
