A Ruby Pendant Necklace: A Symbol Of Passion

Red is the color of passion, the color of blood. It represents anger and it is symbolic of love. Red is the color that causes large groups of mighty vehicles to come to a complete stop at its very appearance. It is the color of a blazing sunset, commanding in its magnificence. Red is a powerful color.

A ruby is a red gemstone. Much like the color it bears, the ruby is a powerful stone. It is one of the four precious stones, along with the sapphire, the emerald and the diamond, and is a rare and highly prized jewel. It is also the second hardest mineral, next to the diamond.

Rubies are not always of the deep red that we often associate with their name. They can also be tinted with other colors, such as orange, blue and yellow. The most valuable rubies will have a purple hue, which reinforces the red color and makes it appear deeper.

By nature, rubies are imperfect. They contain fractures or strings of "silk" which is a rutile mineral that runs through the stone. While a pure stone is always to be desired, with rubies, one way to recognize a fake is by its lack of these impurities.

Because of the fact that these impurities are so prevalent in rubies, it is common and almost universal practice for them to be treated or enhanced. Heat treating the stones improves the color and removes or deminishes many of the impurities, including the silk. Such treatments are considered to be acceptable and do not diminish the value of the stones.

Rubies, once treated and polished, are fiery and intense in their color. They are brilliant, and, although they are darker than many other gemstones, and therefore may not stand out in the same way, they have a sense of mystery and passion that is intriguing in its beauty.

Ruby jewelry is, of course, the best way for these gemstones to be displayed. Any woman would love to wear this deep, rich colored stone. For women born in the end of December or into January, the ruby is your birthstone and what a birthstone to be proud of!

A ruby pendant necklace is the perfect way to display the stone. Arranged in a style that appeals to an individual, the ruby is lovely set alone, and becomes even more fascinating when set alongside diamonds. The light and brilliance of the diamond is the perfect foil for the intense and rich tones of the blazing red ruby. It is as if the noble ruby sits, knowing that the diamond has superior sparkle, but content with its own worth and beauty nonetheless.

As a gift, jewelry such as ruby earrings, ruby rings or ruby pendant necklaces, is a very appropriate way to express and share your passion for someone you love. As precious stone, it demonstrates to her that she is very precious, and that she has a power over others, just as the glowing red of the rubies she wears.
