Ruby, often called the "king of precious stones," is the classic and most well-known birthstone for July. Its intense red colour, resembling the colour of blood and fire, is the source of its powerful meanings. Ruby carries a rich tapestry of symbolism across cultures and history. For thousands of years rubies have been used in jewellery. A long time ago ancient royalty and warriors believed rubies had mystical powers. In the Victorian era, rubies became romantic symbols of love, usually set in ornate rings and pendants.

Our July birthstone collection is packed with pieces that bring the drama, like our 9ct Gold Ruby Pear Shaped Cut Out Necklace by John Greed (talk about a statement!). Want something a little bit daintier? Pick out a pair of our Ruby earrings, to add a stunning finishing touch to any look. Our Ruby jewellery is your bold, beautiful reminder of just how powerful love and passion can be. Our exquisite range of delicate Ruby necklaces are ideal for capturing that everyday sparkle. In modern day, their fiery colour continues to inspire elegant, luxurious jewellery designs, making ruby the perfect birthstone for July.

1. Token of love: Rubies are famously associated with love, passion, and romance, making them a sought after gift for loved ones or a personal symbol of strength.

2. Strength symbolism: Historically, rubies were believed to protect the wearer from harm and bring them courage, making them popular as tokens of confidence and resilience.

3. Personal touch: For anyone born in July, wearing their birthstone as a piece of jewellery creates a special bond, celebrating their identity and birth month with something unique and emotional.

4. Generational charm: July jewellery is very precious and meaningful, often kept and passed down through multiple generations.

5. Styling potential: From casual wear to statement pieces, rubies suit a wide range of styles and occasions, making July birthstone jewellery a versatile choice.

For those captivated by July's vibrant ruby but seeking a more budget-conscious alternative, check out our beautiful range of ruby-coloured stones and synthetic ruby. The controlled, rapid, and predictable nature of its growth, means that there are none of the complex mining costs needed for natural Ruby. This results in a stunning gemstone that offers a similar rich, saturated red color, at a much more accessible price point. Synthetic Ruby allows you to still be able to enjoy the luxurious look of this passionate red gem, and continue turning heads, no matter your budget.

Shine boldly this summer with our July birthstone collections, and embrace your ravishing ruby side here.
