Do you think Ruby could be your gemstone?
"The vibrant and brilliant red of rubies amazed me, so I introduced them to my collections. It makes me happy that everyone can wear a gem of this quality and beauty in their everyday life."
It is also a gemstone that is associated with strength, wealth and passion. In ancient times, warriors inlaid rubies on their bodies for protection and vigor! And some people offered rubies to the gods to be reborn rich as emperors.
Ruby can acquire a fluorescent glow if it contains large amounts of chromium. Surely that's why there are those who say that this gem keeps a flame inside.

Jewelry care
It is a gem of great hardness, a 9 on the Mohs scale, and is very suitable for everyday use, as it resists impacts well. Despite the good resistance also to chemical products, from Roosik & Co we recommend the use of warm water, soap and a soft brush (or a wet tissue) for cleaning.
