July’s birthstone, rubies are possibly the most coveted gems in history. They are mentioned numerous times in ancient Sanskrit scriptures as the “king of gemstones” and are associated with beauty and wisdom. July’s birthstone is the gem for the star sign of Cancer. Its seductive red glow and rarity are linked to passion, love, wealth and power. Rubies are one of the most significant gems in history, featuring in early Sanskrit, Chinese and Greek writings. In the modern day we think of love, enchantment and protection, and of course, Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz. Each facet is hand drawn by me, Emma Miller at Little Gem Studio.

January’s birth stone, this sparkling red gem is a legendary precious stone which comes in a variety of colours including red, green and yellow. The red variety is so opulent and striking, and is the most often used in jewellery. It is the gem of royalty, and has been discovered in the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. In ancient Persia, only the royal family was allowed to own and wear this highly valued gemstone. Its sparkle is so intense and captivating that it is referred to as “fire” by gemmologists
