FAQs about Ruby Necklaces
What does a ruby symbolize?
The rarity and deep hue of rubies have long symbolized nobility and wealth. They have also been considered the stone of love, passion, inspiration, and energy. Rubies are also the July birthstone and ruby necklaces make an excellent gift choice for those born in this month.
Like other pieces of ruby jewelry, a ruby pendant can also simply symbolize that the wearer loves the red gemstone color.
Can you wear a ruby everyday?
Rubies are tough enough to be worn every day with little fear of damage. Since the stone ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness and it does not have a propensity to break when struck, the red jewel is a great choice as a daily accessory.
A ruby pendant is especially durable, as necklaces are typically exposed to less wear and tear when compared to rings or bracelets. Visit our necklace guide and ruby gemstone guide to learn more about what makes these July birthstone necklaces a great choice for frequent wear.
How expensive is ruby?
Though not as popular as diamonds, rubies are still highly valued gemstones. Their incredible durability and beauty make rubies a luxurious choice for necklaces.
