Ruby ring

In the Middle Ages, cups, cups, crowns of monarchs and, of course, rings were decorated with rubies, which often became family heirlooms and were passed down from generation to generation.

Ruby is endowed with magical properties. It protects from evil spirits, kindles love, heals many diseases, fills with vital energy and brings the inner world of a person into a state of harmony. It is believed that if this stone in the ring has darkened, it means that its owner is in danger.

Now a ruby ​​ring is an amazing combination of beauty and luxury.

The stone has many shades: from pale pink to wine. The red color of a ruby ​​is given by oxides of aluminum, chromium, and iron. The most valuable are stones with a rich purple hue, which gives chromium oxide.

Gold with ruby ​​looks incredibly impressive. In this case, it all depends on the quality of the gold used: white will emphasize the crimson shades of the stone, yellow and red - natural.

A gold ring in the shape of an openwork basket is the most common model. The shape of the stone is usually elongated and has both sharp and rounded edges. Often the stone rises above the surface of the setting, as if demonstrating its royal position.

Oddly enough, but an expensive women's ring can have a laconic design:

• The "basket" of the ring is formed by gold plates;
• the stone has a simple gold frame without drawing and engraving.

Expensive models amaze with an abundance of additional decor. A large ruby ​​is surrounded by several rows of diamonds or other multi-colored stones. Often, rubies of different sizes are combined in one product.

Silver does not look as elegant and rich as gold. But, despite this, a silver ring with a ruby ​​can become a magnificent decoration and emphasize the status of the person wearing it. The most winning option is a large ruby. Victorian-style rings are considered especially feminine.

A silver frame, unlike gold, is great for everyday wear and will harmoniously complement any look.

Designer and handmade rings make up a special category of jewelry. Blackened silver in combination with a large fire stone and a scattering of small ones looks luxurious.

Designers use red-orange sapphires, amethysts, emeralds. Despite the fact that in one product there are stones of different colors, the rings are admirable.

A ruby ​​ring is still an adornment of a mature woman, rather than a young person.

When choosing it, the main parameter is the shape of the fingers and hands:

• A horizontally placed stone is a model for refined, thin fingers. Persons with such fingers can afford a massive ring. It is most welcome, it will emphasize the fragility and tenderness of musical hands.

• A ring with a vertically elongated medium-sized stone is designed for short fingers.

• Asymmetric and triangular model will help to visually reduce the full arm. The round shape of the stone is categorically contraindicated for this shape of the hand.

Ruby will look good on brunette fingers. Dark hair color matches the color of the stone.

The jewelry market is saturated with fakes. However, you do not need to have any special abilities of a professional to distinguish a real ruby ​​from a fake. Everyone will be able to determine the authenticity of the stone with the help of the following simple tips:

• A real stone heats up for a long time under the influence of the heat of a human hand, while an artificial one will quickly take on body temperature.
• In ultraviolet light, a fake ruby ​​emits an orange color.
• The stone should not have air bubbles and cavities inside.
• A beautiful pink color will radiate from a natural ruby ​​when placed in a container filled with some milk.

You should buy rings with rubies in trusted stores, where buyers are provided with a certificate of authenticity, as well as guarantees from the seller.

The cost of the ring will depend on the following factors: color, size and cut of the stone.

Ruby is a bright, visible stone. A ring with it can be combined with other jewelry, but very carefully - there should be a minimum of them.

Suitable earrings and bracelets with chrysolite, diamond, carbuncle. We do not combine ruby ​​with malachite, onyx, obsidian.

As for the outfit, a chic ring will look great against the backdrop of a strict, laconic sheath dress. If there is a solemn evening event, then the ring and diadem will look great.

The ring dictates the image as a whole.The informal style of clothing is completely incompatible with this decoration. But a ruby ​​in a diamond frame is perfect for a black evening dress. It perfectly sets off the sparkling scattering of diamonds and emphasizes the depth of the red color.

Do not forget that such a massive decoration always attracts the eyes of others, so the hands of its owner must be carefully groomed, have a beautiful and neat manicure.

• Ruby rings should be stored in a separate box or wrapped in a piece of cloth. Ruby must be isolated from other stones.

• When cleaning, use only soft brushes. Rigid pile can damage the surface of the stone.

• Contaminants are removed by washing in soapy water. Chemical compounds are strictly prohibited.

• Keep away from overheating.
