Ruby- July birthstone, 9 hardness on Mohs Scale.
From AGTA.org: Celebrated in the Bible and in ancient Sanskrit writings as the
most precious of all gemstones, rubies have been the prized possession of
emperors and kings throughout the ages. Ruby’s inner fire has been the
inspiration for innumerable legends and myths, and to this day, no red gemstone
can compare to its fiery, rich hues. It was believed wearing a fine red ruby
bestowed good fortune on its owner - although the owner must have already had
good fortune enough to possess such a rare and beautiful gemstone!
Many people associate its brilliant crimson colors with passion and love,
making ruby an ideal choice for an engagement ring. Ruby is the red variety of
the corundum mineral species, while all other colors of corundum are called
sapphire.

A Note on Jewelry Care:
Think of your new piece of jewelry as a wearable work of art. We know you want
to get as much wear out of it as possible, so here are a few tips on keeping
your jewelry sparkling and safe for years to come. You may think that because
it’s made of metal, jewelry can handle rough wear and tear. This isn’t true.
The metals used to make jewelry are soft and can stretch or crack Always be
sure to remove your jewelry before any house or yard cleaning, before outdoor
activities or at work if you use your hands a lot. Never expose your jewelry to
harsh chemicals like bleach, chlorine or solvents. It’s also a a good idea to
have your jewelry checked and cleaned by a professional once or twice per year.
