Ruby, the July Birthstone
July is the heart of summer: long golden evenings, warm sand and a sun that never seems to set. Its birthstone burns just as bright. The ruby is a vivid, glowing red, the color of passion, energy and life itself, and it has been called the king of gems for thousands of years.
Our July birthstone jewelry brings that bold red to waterproof gold, from sparkling tennis bracelets to dainty rings and personalized birthstone pieces, made to be worn on the beach, in the sea and everywhere in between.
The Story of Ruby
The name ruby comes from the Latin ruber, which simply means red. In ancient India it was called ratnaraj, the king of precious stones, and it was believed to hold an inner flame that could never be put out. Warriors in Burma set rubies into their armor for courage, and kings across Asia and Europe placed them at the center of their crowns as a sign of power and protection.
Its fiery color made it the natural birthstone for July, the warmest month of the year in much of the world. For anyone born in high summer, ruby is a stone that feels as alive and joyful as the season itself.
What Ruby Symbolizes
Ruby has always been the stone of love and passion. Its red is the color of the heart, so it was traditionally given as a symbol of deep devotion, and it remains one of the most romantic stones there is. It was also believed to bring courage, vitality and good fortune, and to protect the person who wore it.
Wearing the July birthstone is a celebration of energy and confidence: a reminder to love boldly and to live fully. For a July baby, it is the perfect stone to carry the warmth of their birthday all year long.
The Color of July
The July birthstone is a bright, vivid red that looks stunning on sun-kissed skin. Set on warm gold, it feels joyful and summery, with a sparkle that catches every ray of light. It is a color that adds instant energy to a white dress, a linen shirt or a simple swimsuit.
How to Wear Your July Birthstone
A red tennis bracelet is a fun, bold way to wear July, on its own or stacked with plain gold chains. A ruby-red ring adds a pop of color to your hands, and a dainty birthstone necklace keeps it subtle and personal. Red also looks beautiful with pearls and with clear stones, so it is easy to combine with the birthstones of your loved ones in a family piece.
