From Discovery to Decor, all you need to know about Ruby!

Ruby is considered to be the King of Precious Gemstones. In Latin, Ruby is called Ruber which means, the colour Red.  During the 600AD, European Gem hunters and experts Marco polo & Jean Tavernier traced Myanmar’s Gem Source.  They discovered vibrantly saturated stones ranging from Pigeon red to pinkish Red and believed that these Romantic looking Stones were the most powerful of all.  This legendary stone has made history since the time they have been discovered. Most often, they have always been worn as adornments and many believed that these stones are a fortune for Wealth, Wisdom Beauty & never-ending Love.
