Ruby - july
A celebration of birth. A commemoration. A promise of fidelity. A token of a good luck. A talisman for wisdom, protection, sucess. For thousands of years, a gemstone's value has far exceeded its monetary worth.
People around the world have long revered the unique beauty of crystals and gemstones, attributing to them hidden powers that can influence events and control natural forces. Ancient civilizations associated gems and crystals with personal qualities, the planets and zodiac, the seasons, and special events. And in eighteenth century people began to wear stones representing the twelve months of the year , in the hopes that these talismans of good fortune would release their magical properties to the wearer who had been born in that stone's month.
