Ruby Ring
In the Middle Ages, bowls, cups, crown of monarchs and, of course, rings, which often became heirlooms and were passed down from generation to generation, were decorated with rubies.
The ring emphasized the power and wealth of the person to whom he belonged. Stone attributed magical and healing properties. He was wrapped in legends.
Ruby endows magical properties. It protects from evil spirits, kindles love, cures many diseases, fills with vital energy and brings the inner world of man to a state of harmony. It is believed that if this stone in the ring is darkened, it means that its owner is in danger.
Now a ring with a ruby is an amazing combination of beauty and luxury.
The stone has many shades: from pale pink to wine. Red rubies give aluminum oxide, chromium, iron. The most valuable are stones with a rich violet hue, which gives chrome oxide.
Gold
Gold with ruby looks incredibly impressive. At the same time, it all depends on the quality of the gold used: white will accentuate the scarlet hues of the stone, yellow and red — natural.
The gold ring in the form of an openwork basket is the most common model. The shape of the stone is usually elongated and has both sharp and rounded edges. Often, the stone rises above the surface of the frame, as if demonstrating its royal position.
Oddly enough, but an expensive female ring may have a concise design:
- The “basket” of the ring is made up of golden plates;
- The stone has a simple gold frame without a pattern and engraving.
Expensive models amaze with an abundance of additional decor. A large ruby is surrounded by several rows of diamonds or other multi-colored stones. Often, rubies of different sizes are combined in one product.
Astrologers are convinced that the ring with a ruby is a decoration intended for people whose zodiac sign is included in the element of fire. He gives strength, courage, perseverance in achieving goals. Therefore, the ideal metal for it is gold.
Silver
Silver does not look as elegant and rich as gold. But despite this, a silver ring with a ruby can be a great decoration and emphasize the status of the person wearing it. The most winning option is a large ruby. Victorian rings are considered to be especially feminine.
Silver frame, unlike gold, is great for everyday wear and harmoniously complements any image.
Designer and handmade rings make up a special category of jewelry. Blackened silver in combination with a large fiery stone and a scattering of small ones looks luxurious.
Designers use red-orange sapphires, amethysts, emeralds. Despite the fact that in one product there are stones of different color, the rings are admirable.
How to choose
A ruby ring is still an ornament of a mature woman, rather than a young person.
When choosing it, the main parameter is the shape of fingers and hands:
- Horizontally placed stone - model for refined, thin fingers. Persons with such fingers can afford a massive ring. It is most welcome, emphasizing the fragility and tenderness of musical hands.
- The ring with a vertically elongated stone of medium size is designed for short fingers.
- Visually reduce the full hand will help asymmetric and triangular model. This form of the hand is strictly contraindicated round shape of the stone.
Ruby will look good on the fingers of a brunette. Dark hair color matches the color of the stone.
The jewelry market is saturated with fakes.However, you do not need to have any special abilities of a professional to distinguish a real ruby from a fake. Everyone can determine the authenticity of the stone with the help of the following simple tips:
- A real stone heats up for a long time under the influence of the heat of a human hand, but an artificial one will quickly take on body temperature.
- In ultraviolet light, a fake ruby emits an orange color.
- The stone should not have air bubbles and cavities inside.
- A beautiful pink color will emit a natural ruby when placed in a container where some milk is poured.
To buy rings with rubies should be in trusted stores, where buyers are provided with a certificate of authenticity, as well as guarantees from the seller.
The cost of the ring will depend on the following factors: the color, size and cut of the stone.
What to wear
Ruby is a bright, noticeable stone. The ring with it can be combined with other decorations, but very carefully - there should be a minimum of them.
Suitable earrings and bracelets with chrysolite, diamond, carbuncle. We do not combine ruby with malachite, onyx, obsidian.
As for the dress, the elegant ring will look great on the background of a strict concise dress-case. If there is a solemn evening event, then the ring and tiara will look great.
The ring dictates the image as a whole. An informal style of clothing is completely incompatible with this decoration. But the ruby in a diamond frame is ideal for an evening dress in black. It will beautifully set off a sparkling scattering of diamonds and emphasize the depth of red.
Do not forget that such a massive decoration always attracts the views of others, so the hands of its owner must be carefully groomed, have a beautiful and neat manicure.
