The ruby’s essence is captured by three words: love, heat, and passion. As a classic precious gem, the ruby heart pendant is of the same class and value as the diamond, the emerald and the sapphire. These three other classic gems are of “cool colors” – white, green and blue. What makes the ruby very unique and very powerful is its blood red color. A diamond holds the title “a girl’s best friend”, yet wearing a blood-red ruby heart pendant  catches the attention and envy of everyone.

It is traditionally labeled the birthstone of July but the ruby’s magnificence is not bound to this month. As a vibrant red gemstone, it is compatible with the month of hearts and of declarations of love and passion – Valentine’s day. In the romantic gifts scale, the combination of red roses, chocolates and a ruby heart pendant tops the list. Giving this trio to a girl with the pendant matching her other heart jewelry will surely provide a triple score to the giver.

For fans and enthusiasts, getting this vibrant red stone is not limited to any particular time or date. However, there is another official official day which calls for a gift of this luscious gem. Anniversaries, like months and birthdays, are also represented by gemstones. The 40th anniversary is symbolized by the ruby. If a couple reaches their 40th anniversary, it means that they have endured their togetherness with lasting and most probably, a very strong love. There is no better way to celebrate this occasion than to present a gift of a beautiful ruby necklace or a pair of ruby diamond earrings. It may serve as a birthstone or is given as a symbol for a particular occasion but the fundamental principle is that this red stone represents affection, love and passion for the recipient.

Aside from being hard and durable, this gemstone is also easy to clean. Ways of cleaning include steaming, agitating in an ultrasonic cleaner or simply soaking in warm water with soap. Only a light brushing with a soft or medium bristled brush is needed to remove dust out of its crevices. Since diamonds are also extremely durable, these cleaning regimens can also be applied to ruby diamonds earrings.

The ruby holds the title “king” among the gemstones, being the most popular and the most coveted. Between a diamond and a ruby pendant of similar quality, the latter is more expensive. The reason is that a perfect ruby with just the right color, size and clarity is very rare. Fortunately, it can be beautiful without being perfect. Buying the one which has the right shade and cut for you will definitely make you proud as much as powerful gem can possibly do so.
