Pearls right now and forever.

Red Red Rubies, July's Birthstone.



'It has been said that the Ruby's warm glow comes from an internal flame that cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone symbolic of everlasting love.  With its hardness and durability, it is a perfect engagement gem.  And if worn on the left hand, ancient lore has it that the Ruby will bring good fortune to its wearer, too!'
