In the world of fine gemstones, few treasures capture attention quite like the ruby. Known for its deep red hue and timeless symbolism, this magnificent gem has long been associated with love, energy, and elegance. At Luster Blue, the brilliance of the ruby is celebrated through exquisite craftsmanship that transforms this vibrant stone into a statement of beauty and sophistication.
Each ruby piece tells a story—of passion, strength, and timeless luxury. Whether set in a delicate pendant or a bold ring, its radiant glow evokes feelings of confidence and allure, making it one of the most sought-after gemstones in fine jewelry design.
The word “ruby” originates from the Latin ruber, meaning “red.” Its vivid color has long been connected to the heart, fire, and life itself. Historically, this gemstone was believed to protect warriors in battle and bring success in love and wealth. Across ancient civilizations—from India to Burma—the ruby was revered as the “King of Gems.”
Today, it continues to symbolize eternal love and passion, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and anniversary gifts. Its energy is said to inspire vitality and courage, a reminder of the inner fire that drives ambition and creativity.
No two rubies are ever alike. Their shades range from bright pinkish-red to deep crimson, each carrying a unique vibrancy that captivates the eye. The most valuable rubies, known as “pigeon blood rubies,” possess a pure, vivid red tone with a hint of blue.
At Luster Blue, every ruby is carefully hand-selected for its brilliance and quality. Our artisans ensure that each gemstone reflects the ideal balance of color, clarity, and cut—elements that define true luxury.

The appeal of the ruby extends beyond its historical significance—it remains a modern icon of style. Today, fashion enthusiasts and collectors alike choose rubies for their bold yet versatile charm. Whether paired with gold or platinum, the ruby’s red radiance complements any skin tone and adds a luxurious touch to any outfit.
Modern designers favor rubies for both minimalist and statement jewelry. Their timeless color enhances everything from engagement rings to cocktail pieces, embodying sophistication that transcends trends.
A ruby is second only to diamond in hardness, making it a practical choice for daily wear. However, to maintain its brilliance, proper care is essential.

Clean gently with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush.
Avoid exposing the gem to harsh chemicals or extreme heat.
Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
Have your jewelry professionally inspected and polished periodically.
By following these steps, your ruby jewelry will continue to radiate beauty and value for generations.

Beyond its beauty, the ruby is often regarded as a stone of energy and protection. Many believe it enhances motivation, stimulates passion, and promotes a zest for life. Its red hue is said to connect with the heart chakra, symbolizing love, vitality, and self-confidence.
Wearing ruby jewelry can evoke a sense of empowerment—reminding you to live boldly, love deeply, and shine unapologetically.
Unlike many gemstones, rubies have historically maintained their value due to rarity and demand. High-quality rubies are increasingly scarce, particularly natural stones with rich color and clarity. This makes them not only a beautiful accessory but also a sound investment.
When purchasing a ruby, consider these key factors:
Color: The richer the red, the higher the value.
Clarity: Fewer inclusions mean greater brilliance.
Cut: Enhances the stone’s sparkle and symmetry.
Carat Weight: Larger rubies are rarer and more valuable.
Choosing a ruby from a trusted jeweler like Luster Blue ensures that your gemstone is both genuine and masterfully set—creating a timeless treasure worth cherishing.
