It’s hard to believe, but 2020 is officially halfway over! July ushered in the halfway point of the year as well as a new birthstone to drool over. We are all about rubies in July!
To fall in love with rubies, all you have to do is look at the facts. Did you know that rubies and sapphires are actually related? No disrespect to the blue gem, but rubies can have the highest per-carat cost of all gemstones — they’re that valuable! Ancient cultures believed that rubies held the power of life and could make people invincible. For that reason, rubies were prized, especially by warriors. Later civilizations thought that rubies could guarantee health, wealth, and success in love. Ooh la la!
Dickinson Jewelers can’t quite guarantee any of those claims, but we CAN guarantee that you’ll find the perfect ruby no matter your style. Check out our shopping guide to find your new favorite piece of jewelry.
For the sophisticated shopper
For the glamourpuss
The Great Gatsby is your aesthetic. Your main takeaway from any TV show set in the past is “how can I get that wardrobe?”. Your look has been described as vintage more than once.
If any of those statements describe you, you are absolutely going to fall in love with estate jewelry. In honor of the mighty ruby, start your estate jewelry journey with this show-stopping ring. The rubies and diamonds look absolutely perfect together, and the Art Deco reproduction is superb.
If you like the vintage look but aren’t really feeling the Art Deco scene, you are sure to fall in love with this estate platinum ring. That giant ruby will help you channel your power for good!
For a classic look
One thing we love about rubies is how easily they add elegance to any look. Whether you’re looking to dress up your quarantine fashion without much effort or are planning for a fancy party when conditions allow, this ruby necklace and earring set from Shy Creation is perfect. They coordinate without being overly matchy-matchy, and the gold sets those rubies ablaze! We could see wearing both with a little black dress or picking one piece and dressing up a work outfit. The possibilities are endless!
For a casual look
Well, okay. You got us. Rubies are so phenomenal that they aren’t ever truly casual...but we think you could pair this Swarovski necklace with jeans and a t-shirt and still look incredible! The necklace is based off of an Irish claddagh ring, which is a meaningful symbol from the 1600s. In this necklace, the hands show friendship, the heart shows love, and the crown shows loyalty. We love a good piece of jewelry with meaning!

For the sophisticated shopper
If you saw Crazy Rich Asians and were lowkey obsessed with the fashion (#guilty), these are the earrings you’ve been missing. The elegantly-carved lotus is actually a freshwater pearl with a ruby in the center. The posts are 14 karat yellow gold, and they really complete the look. We can imagine pairing these with an evening gown for maximum effect.
