Are you shopping for someone with a July birthday? The July Birthstone is the ruby, one of the most beautiful and well known gemstones. Rubies are known for their striking bright red color as well as their remarkable hardness – on the Mohs scale of hardness, they receive a rank of 9, just below that of diamonds. The word ruby was derived from the Latin word 'rubens', which means simply red. This July birhstone is also the most commonly named precious stones in the Bible.

The red of the July birthstone is incomparable, both warm and fiery. It was thought to represent two magical elements: fire and blood, implying warmth and life for mankind. The ruby’s red is not just any color; it is a hot, passionate, powerful color. The July birthstone is mined throughout the world, but it is most often found in Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Kenya and Greenland. Rubies are even occasionally found in the United States.

Do you know someone born in July who deserves a beautiful piece of ruby jewelry? Or do you have someone in your life with a particularly fiery, passionate personality? Even though ruby is traditionally the July birthstone, anyone can wear this lovely gemstone!
