The History of Rubies

Rubies are among the oldest and most revered gemstones in the world. The name “ruby” comes from the Latin ruber, meaning red, and they’ve been treasured for thousands of years. In ancient India, rubies were known as the "ratnaraj," or “king of precious stones.” Warriors believed rubies granted them invincibility, while royalty saw them as a symbol of power, vitality, and divine protection.
