Ruby Jewellery – July's Birthstone

Ruby Jewellery

Along with emeralds and sapphires, rubies are among the world’s most precious gemstones—sought after for millennia for their fiery red colour and exceptional brilliance. As the birthstone for July, the ruby symbolizes passion, strength, and a zest for life. At Velur, you’ll find high-quality ruby jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Crafted by experienced goldsmiths and backed by a lifetime warranty, each piece combines high-quality materials, precise craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which One Goes Best with Your Ruby?

Both versions use real gold—the difference lies in their construction:

The ruby’s intense red colour harmonizes particularly well with yellow gold, giving the piece a luxurious, timeless, and striking appearance. If you’re looking for high-quality ruby jewellery with an elegant gold finish, gold vermeil—featuring a core of 925 sterling silver—offers a stylish alternative. Both versions are made from recycled gold and certified sources and represent responsibly crafted jewellery with lasting value.

Genuine Ruby – Quality That Lasts

Jewellery featuring genuine rubies, with no compromises—that is Velur’s standard for materials, craftsmanship, and quality control. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Every ruby is examined under a microscope for colour, cut, and inclusions

• Each frame is digitally optimized before it is manufactured

• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.

• Lifetime warranty against all defects in materials and workmanship

Ruby is a mineral from the corundum family—the same family to which sapphire also belongs. Its characteristic red colour is caused by traces of chromium in the crystal. The most sought-after rubies come from Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, Mozambique, and Tanzania—each origin produces slightly different shades of colour.

What distinguishes a genuine ruby:

• Colour—ranging from bright red to deep dark red, depending on chromium content and origin
• Cut – often cut into an oval or teardrop shape to maximize colour and brilliance
• Inclusions—naturally occurring, a key factor in determining value as a sign of authenticity
• Hardness – 9 on the Mohs scale, one of the hardest gemstones after the diamond
• Rarity – High-quality rubies are rarer than diamonds of comparable quality

Velur also offers lab-grown rubies—chemically and optically identical to natural red gemstones, certified, sustainably produced, and affordably priced.

Rubin Cleaning & Care

Ruby is one of the most durable gemstones—but it still needs proper care:

• Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water
• Mild soap is fine—but avoid harsh detergents
• Use ultrasound with caution—it may damage the surface treatment on treated rubies
• Store separately—do not store with other gemstones
