The Ruby meanings speak of the sensual pleasures of life and teach us to enjoy being in the physical world. Similarly, it is believed to help with recovery from past emotional or physical trauma, supporting healing and promoting vitality. Also, it is thought to instil courage and passion. As such, this crystal is a good ally for manifestation and reaching goals. Finally, it is very supportive of the base and sacral chakra and is thought to assist with infertility.
Ruby is one of the four precious gemstones, along with Diamond, Sapphire and Emerald. It has been revered since ancient times in many cultures as a talisman of protection, passion and prosperity. It represents the irrepressible energy of the sun. It was worn to ward off plague, banish unwanted thoughts, warn of danger, banish bad dreams and resolve disputes. Legend has it that Kublai Khan exchanged one of his cities for a large Ruby. Similarly, Burmese legend states that a piece under the skin will make the wearer invincible.
Ruby is a red variety of corundum, an aluminium oxide with a hardness of 9. The intense red colour comes from Chromium. It has been found in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, India, Brazil and the United States.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
With proper care, we expect your pieces to last many years to come.
In our 18 years of business, we still wear some treasures from our original collection! Learn more about our warranty and care guide here.
