Ruby
Ruby brings saturated red with a clear sense of drama, whether it appears alone or in a layered mix. Each piece of jewelry is handmade in Nashville, Tennessee, giving a familiar classic color a personal finish.
- Color
- Saturated red from pinkish to slightly purplish, with an intense, classic jewel tone.
- Family
- The red variety of corundum, the same mineral that gives us sapphire in other colors.
- Wear
- 9 on the Mohs scale; highly scratch-resistant. A soft damp cloth is a gentle choice for cleaning.
- A little history
- In Sanskrit, ruby is ratnaraj—“king of precious stones”—a name that reflects its long-standing prestige.
