ruby ring

Ruby, as one of the most valuable mineral compounds, was known in ancient times and was often the main decoration of the crown of the ruler of a particular state. However, those people still could not distinguish one stone from another, and all minerals of a red tint were attributed to the "face" of the ruby.

It is known that ruby ​​is a natural mineral of the corundum "family" with a dense structure and a characteristic hue that is predominantly red with some variations from rich pink to almost purple.

It is known from the history of the ruby ​​that it was originally mined in Burma and India; the fiery red mineral attracted the attention of the rulers of that time and caused enthusiastic exclamations of various kinds of population, therefore it was often the ruby ​​that adorned the crowns of world rulers.

Many beliefs are associated with the ruby, which said that the stone enhances the negative and positive aspects of the person wearing it, protects the owner of the stone from the evil eye and poisoning (the mineral was often put in wine, and if it was poisoned, the stone changed its natural color).

Despite the fickleness of fashion, a ruby ​​ring remains an actual accessory for a woman, which is able to give a lady nobility and grace, and especially the stone goes well with evening dresses. Wearing a ruby ​​in everyday life is a particularly bold step, especially if the stone is large; it is much more appropriate to wear jewelry with rubies that are small in size.

Historical legends say that the ruby ​​is the blood of a dragon, spilled on the ground and solidified in the form of an excellent red mineral. Christian history says that the ruby ​​is the blood of Jesus, so famous icons are often framed with this valuable mineral. Most believers prefer ruby ​​wedding rings instead of diamonds in order to be closer to their faith and identify love and fidelity.

A red ruby ​​looks especially harmonious when paired with yellow or white gold; this duet especially attracts the attention of women and men, these two components combine perfectly in their energy field.

The ruby ​​looks equally good in the composition of a silver ring, which strongly resembles a piece of white gold with a high quality of the "cold" metal. If you decide to combine jewelry with a ruby, then jewelry should be made of one metal (white, yellow gold or silver) so as not to bring bad taste to the image.

Soviet ruby ​​rings, like those worn by our grandmothers or mothers, are not considered a relic of the past and do not lose their value at all. Those ruby ​​rings might be a little dated in terms of modern fashion, but even they can fit in with our society when paired with a formal or retro look. As a rule, Soviet ruby ​​rings are made of yellow gold and are not cut with diamonds.

Modern jewelry factories offer women a stylish model of a track-ring, which has a single width with a scattering of small rubies and diamonds or exclusively “royal” minerals of a deep red hue. Among the popular models are the so-called engagement rings with a large ruby ​​in the center - an excellent model "for every day" or for a special occasion - an engagement, a gift.

The choice of a ruby ​​ring or other piece of jewelry should be a responsible choice, as it is important to choose an original stone of excellent quality and keep in mind the features of the choice based on the shape of the hand and the length of your fingers.

• It is worth choosing the size of the stone based on the size of your hand: the larger and larger the brush, the more massive the ruby ​​should be, and vice versa, the thinner and more elegant the hand, the less voluminous the stone should be.By the way, these recommendations do not oblige to their exact implementation; When buying jewelry, every lady, first of all, relies on her taste and wallet.
• When choosing an emerald ring, it is important to consider the length and width of your fingers or whoever the jewelry is intended for. For thin long fingers, choose elegant and feminine rings that are not wide; for thick or short fingers, more massive products with a large mineral are suitable.
• The presence of good taste in a woman and the desire not to look like a crow is an excellent quality that can “play into the hands” when choosing a ring with a ruby ​​in one of the jewelry stores.

• It is equally important to choose the right ring size so as not to accidentally lose it, but also not to experience inconvenience when wearing or removing jewelry. If you have a wide knuckle on your finger and a narrower base, then choose a size that allows the ring to pass through the knuckle with difficulty and provides a comfortable fit on the finger.
• When choosing a ring with a ruby, pay attention to the sample of the noble metal - yellow, white or other gold, silver; well, if it is 585 samples and above.
• When choosing a ring with a ruby, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the ring itself and the natural stone; if the budget is limited, it is worth choosing a quality ring model with a smaller stone, otherwise a large ruby ​​will look ridiculous on a low-carat ring.
• The price of a ruby ​​directly depends on its cut and clarity, as well as its size, color saturation and its main shade.

• Despite historical references that the ruby ​​often became an adornment of the monarch's crown, today it is recommended to wear this stone on the hands as a ring or bracelet made of gold.
• Ruby does not accept the combination of some precious stones, however, cutting with small dazzling diamonds will add even more attractiveness to the jewelry and will not affect the quality of the jewelry or the stone itself.
• It is not recommended to combine ruby ​​with piezo quartz, since the latter mineral will take away the ability to balance its owner from the red mineral; Combining a ruby ​​with a pearl means opening up opportunities for something new and creative.
• They say that if you try on a red ruby ​​and rose quartz in one set of jewelry, you can find a “new” you; the combination of the "prince" of minerals with aventurine is also noble.

Ruby jewelry is easy to wear both in everyday life and on important events. The size and purity of a stone can tell a lot about its owner, so it is better to save too large and massive jewelry for an evening or a festive event, where there will be room for a luxurious look with no less luxurious jewelry.

For daily wear of a ruby ​​ring, choose a laconic model in accordance with the structure of your hand and fingers (you probably already got acquainted with the selection recommendations at the top of the article). A female or male image will be complemented by rings of a suitable width with a small-sized mineral; cutting with small diamonds is allowed. By the way, the ruby ​​is suitable for completing a strict laconic look and is not combined with a sporty one. An ideal “partner” of a ruby ​​will be a sheath dress or a skirt of a feminine silhouette of an acceptable length.

First of all, you should purchase ruby ​​jewelry in a trusted or well-known salon store from an equally popular manufacturer. However, there are several facts that will help distinguish an artificially created stone from the creation of nature itself.

1. A ruby ​​ring can be seen under ultraviolet color: an artificial stone will immediately acquire an orange tint.
2. Place the ruby ​​for a short time in a cool place or try to warm the stone in your hand: the natural mineral retains its coldness longer, while the artificial one conducts heat almost instantly.
3. Twist the ruby ​​in the light - its facets shimmer with a different range of shades of red, which indicates its true origin. An artificial mineral is poorer in its tint range.
4. Place ruby ​​jewelry in a clear glass, where the genuine stone will shimmer with red hues, and if you pour milk into it, the drink will take on a noticeable pink color.
5. The presence of bubbles inside a genuine stone is a rare phenomenon, much more common in artificial samples.
6. If a ruby ​​is examined in detail in bright light, then such minor defects as cracks will hardly be noticeable on a real stone, while an artificial one “shines through” small flaws well.

Astrologers advise choosing a ruby ​​as a talisman for fire signs - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; for others, the stone may seem too powerful in its energy. Folk healers advise choosing ruby ​​as the main stone for diseases of the heart and joints, and modern doctors sometimes use ruby ​​as an accessory for massage.

The Russian jewelry brand SOKOLOV in its assortment presents original ruby ​​jewelry - rings where the red mineral dominates or is ideally combined with diamonds, Swarovski crystals and other precious and semi-precious stones.

A very interesting design idea is a gold ring with a ruby ​​in the “vintage” format, where the gold is artificially aged, and the stone has an extremely large size and is sharpened in a carved setting. The ruby ​​looks original and noble in the composition of an old silver ring, where a large-sized mineral and slightly darkened (as if from old age) silver become an advantage. A ring with a ruby ​​on dark gold is a real work of jewelry art, which speaks of the history of this noble mineral and its elegance. An unusual design decision will be a ring with a bright red ruby ​​and a silver base, and for a modern lady, a white gold ring with a rich scattering of diamonds, among which a small ruby ​​in the shape of a small heart can be traced gently, will be to your liking.

A ruby ​​engagement ring is a sign that a man does not accept prejudices and prefers more refined jewelry. The ruby ​​is often used as the main decoration of the ring for a woman, so it traditionally occupies a central position, as if hinting at its superiority.
