Red corundum. Elevate your style with the timeless beauty of Ruby—where sophistication meets splendor. Rubies were believed to bring good fortune, health, wisdom, and protection. Offerings of rubies at temples were said to ensure rebirth as royalty. Hindus classified rubies into grades and used them both in religious rituals and medicinal practices. Rubies were traded along the Silk Road as far back as 200BC. Chinese noblemen decorated armor with rubies for protection, and rubies were buried under building foundations as talismans of prosperity and good fortune. Warriors believed rubies made them invincible in battle; they would insert rubies into their flesh for supernatural protection.
