The height of summer brings precious ruby to the fore; it is among the most highly prized of gemstones. Red is the colour of the ruby - Yves Saint Laurent called red the ‘colour of love, battle, death, and warmth’. It is a stone of nobility, known to protect wearers from evils in the world.
Tiffany published poems for each birthstone month "of unknown author" in a pamphlet in 1870, this is July's.
The gleaming Ruby should adorn,
All those who in July are born,
For thus they'll be exempt and free,
From lover's doubts and anxiety.
All those who in July are born,
For thus they'll be exempt and free,
From lover's doubts and anxiety.
