Ruby History & Lore
In India, those who donated rubies to honor Krishna were assured being
reborn as an emperor in a future life. Hindus consider light colored
rubies to be appropriate for women, and darker ones for men. Elaborate ruby earrings
have been a popular jewelry choice in India for centuries. In China, a
Mandarin’s rank was indicated by the color of the stone in his ruby ring.
A red jewel stone meant he was a key figure among the great. In the
1880’s, French jewelers called the ruby the gem of gems or the dearly
loved stone.
