Ruby magic - secret power, medicine or talisman?

What should you not wear rubies with?

You can wear items with rubies with an outfit in almost any style. However, there are a few exceptions here:

1. You won't look your best if you wear ruby ​​jewelry with sportswear, streetwear or denim clothing.
2. You should also not combine rubies and outfits from such informal styles as hippie, safari and military.
3. There is no need to wear rubies under multi-colored clothes. Outfits in ethnic and nautical styles do not imply expensive jewelry and will not allow the stones to reveal themselves in all their glory.
4. In addition, you should not wear items with large rubies with office or business clothes.
5. There is also no need to wear rubies and other colored stones at the same time.

There are no more restrictions. Just don’t wear all the products you have at once. Two jewelry with rubies will be enough, otherwise you will sparkle like a Christmas tree and cause ridicule.

Ruby rings

A ruby ​​ring is the most desired accessory in a woman's wardrobe. Among the huge assortment of rings, you can always choose jewelry made from expensive metal in accordance with your desire. Their shapes amaze with their variety and decoration with jewelry inserts.

A gold ring with a ruby ​​is not just a decoration, it is an art that amazes with its uniqueness, rich imagination, and subtlety of execution. This product has the ability to emphasize the refined nature and individuality of the image of its owner.

It is especially worth emphasizing that ruby ​​is a noble, exquisite stone, like gold. Gold rings with rubies should only be worn on well-groomed hands. Manicure and beautiful skin can emphasize the beauty of jewelry and enhance its positive impact.

A gold ring with three rectangular rubies looks extraordinary and incredibly delicate. The pinkish stones are connected at the base by a triple band of gold. This accessory is ideal for young girls, becoming a feminine addition to their look.

Today, one of the popular ring models is the track with rubies. The design of the product involves a ring of uniform width with a scattering of small grains of regular shape and often complemented with diamonds. An accessory of a “royal” (red) shade is considered an ideal decoration.

A massive ring with a square stone and diamonds will adorn a mature lady. It would be appropriate for an evening or formal look.

An unusual ring in the shape of a wheel with a round stone at the center will appeal to extraordinary women. An elegant ring with a dark oval-shaped mineral will be an excellent gift for Valentine's Day.

Silver rings with a crystal in the center are in fashion. Popular accessories include models with square, oval and heart-shaped stones. Such products can be presented as a gift; they are also good for a special occasion - an engagement.

Men are recommended to wear a ruby ​​ring on their right hand, and women - on their left.

Ruby is the best stone for an engagement ring. A good choice would be a ruby ​​and diamond ring. Such a tandem brings happiness and symbolizes constancy. This version of the rings not only has a very beautiful appearance, but also strong energy, which will help in resolving difficult situations in family life and will constantly warm up feelings.

Compatibility

The regal ruby ​​tolerates proximity in jewelry only with equal ones, that is, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and natural pearls. The frame must be made of the same material: silver and gold are incompatible, and so are gold of different shades. The fashion trend of combining different stones and metals is not for ruby.

CHOICE AND WHO IS SUITABLE FOR

Designers have developed jewelry options in different styles for men and women. The choice of jewelry with a ruby ​​is determined by the personal data of the owner and the rules of good manners.

Depending on the type of fingers and their length, you can choose jewelry with a ruby ​​that will make your hand graceful:

• For long fingers, a ring with horizontal lines is suitable. It makes the hand more natural and does not focus on size.
• Short fingers, on the contrary, will benefit from vertical highlighting to visually elongate the hand or emphasize elegance.
• If your fingers are too short and thick, then you don’t need to wear massive rings or a lot of jewelry. The smaller the stone, the better for the appearance of your hands.
• For a wide and large brush, a beautiful and noticeable oval-shaped ruby ​​is suitable.
• Stones with sharp contours will fit into the image of a short girl with short arms.
• Narrow fingers do not need to be highlighted with elongated rings, as this will make the hand even longer and thinner. Inconspicuous round jewelry with small dark-colored rubies are suitable here.

You can choose a suitable ring with rubies alone or complete with diamonds for women of any age:

• Young girls will give preference to pink shades, choosing jewelry with small stones arranged in a row or as part of a carved ornament.
• Stylish women are free to choose almost any gold ring with a ruby. Both romantic and deliberately minimalistic rings, which can be combined with a business style in clothing, are suitable for them.
• Adult ladies often choose cherry and wine shades. It is permissible for them to use large stones framed with rich patterned lettering. This ruby ​​ring can be worn on any finger, but most often bright rings are worn on the middle finger: this way they become the central element of the image, attracting even more attention.

How to identify a fake?

Many prestigious jewelry stores offer jewelry with both real mineral and its high-quality substitute. For expensive imitations that are very similar to a natural gem, beryllium paint is used. However, the number of such counterfeits on the world market is small. Mostly, ornamental stones are made from glass. The price of imitation usually does not exceed $30 per carat.

Most ruby ​​inserts offered by jewelry brands are man-made:

• hydrothermal - ruby ​​chips fused at high temperatures and cooled with water;
• processed - low-quality rubies, the cavities and cracks of which are filled with molten glass (sometimes up to half the weight of the stone);
• artificial - grown.

The first method is time-tested and reliable. The second one was invented in the 2000s, so there is no data on the strength of such rubies yet. The completely synthetic option is the third.

A few simple tests will help you identify a real precious mineral:

1. If you hold a natural gem to light, it will darken. If the color of the stone remains the same or becomes lighter, the crystal is fake.
2. In the light, the ruby ​​will shimmer with a uniform and even shine of different shades of crimson.
3. If you lower a natural crystal into a glass, the ruby ​​will glow reddish.
4. A real stone does not heat up in your hands for a long time, which cannot be said about fakes. They heat up instantly.
5. Cracks on natural minerals have a zigzag shape, but on fakes it is usually a straight line.
6. In ultraviolet light, the shade of a synthetic stone becomes orange, while the tone of a real ruby ​​will remain the same.
7. The weight of a natural ruby ​​cannot exceed more than 1 carat. A synthetic crystal usually weighs 1 carat or more.
8. Natural stones that have not undergone any industrial processing must be accompanied by a certificate indicating the characteristics of the gem, the place of its extraction and the name of the master who cut it.

What to wear with ruby ​​jewelry?

Bright and catchy ruby ​​jewelry always becomes the central element of the image, around which all other details are built. Clothes should not compete with the ring in terms of brightness and catchiness, but, on the contrary, should set off the decoration with calm tones and natural materials.

• Clothes should be expensive and elegant. A dress or suit to match a ring with a ruby ​​should be chosen in a strict, laconic style.
• Jewelry with diamonds and rubies looks perfect on evening dresses for special and ceremonial events.
• Elegant classic clothing will “soften” the splendor of a miniature ruby ​​in an office decoration.
• A lady in ruby ​​jewelry, worn with sportswear, streetwear, and denim, looks ridiculous. Even worse - with safari, military or hippie outfits.
• A product with a bright stone does not go well with a winter ensemble. Do not wear the ring with massive shoes with tractor soles. Ruby is a noble stone, so the image should correspond to it.
• Rubies stand out strongly on the hand, so there should be a minimum of other jewelry, otherwise the appearance will be intrusive and unnatural. Any additions must be made of gold or similar metal only.
• Earrings with ruby ​​go well with clothes of different colors. Stylists are not against wearing them with outfits in black, red, gold, white, beige, pink, light brown, plum, light green. Since the stone is classified as precious, the fabric from which the clothes are made must be of high quality. Combinations of simple earrings with a business suit, evening dress, blouse and skirt are allowed. The stone is especially suitable for “summer” brunettes with dark skin and green/brown eyes.
• A ruby ​​set is more appropriate than ever in an evening outfit worn on an exceptional occasion. Such things are worn literally several times in a lifetime and serve women of several generations. If the stones are not wine, but calm pink and red shades, then young girls can also use them for marriage or engagement.

Care instructions

Put on jewelry after applying makeup; When they come home, they take them off and wipe them from sweat and dust. To prevent the quality of the stones from deteriorating, ruby ​​products must be carefully cared for. Jewelry is stored separately from other accessories. It’s better not to just put them in a box, but to wrap them in a soft cloth and put them in a dark place. “The King of Gems” does not like long exposure to the sun, so it is better to store it away from sunlight. You need to protect it from overheating. When cleaning products, you should adhere to the following algorithm:

1. Heat the water a little and dilute a little laundry soap in it.
2. Place the decoration in the soap solution and leave for 15-20 minutes.
3. Brush the jewelry with a soft-bristled toothbrush until the piece is completely clean.
4. Rinse off the soap solution with plain water. Then wipe the product with a piece of soft cloth.

After this procedure, it is advisable to clean the ruby ​​from negative energy, which it absorbs, protecting the owner, diverting problems from him, and charge him with positive energy.

Ruby is a fire sign, so it needs to be cleaned and charged with fire. All you need to do is pass the ring over the candle flame 3-7 times. The fire will destroy all negativity and charge the jewelry with the necessary power so that it continues to protect and help the owner. Such cleaning is carried out once every 1-2 months.

What can you wear rubies with?

As you understand, you can wear jewelry with rubies with any clothing, of course, except for the exceptions listed above. English and French style outfits will look good in combination with these expensive stones. It would be a good idea to wear jewelry with rubies under an outfit in a glamorous or “femme fatale” style. However, the most elegant option would be classic style clothing. For example, you can wear a plain, dim sheath dress and pumps with small heels. In this case, the stones will highlight your natural beauty and make men turn their eyes to you!

Ruby deposits

Every year they are mined less and less. And most of the crystals found contain defects.

The highest quality gems are mined in Myanmar. It was from there, from Burma (the former name of the state), according to mineralogists, that the first rubies spread.

Countries where gem deposits are located:

• Madagascar;
• Sri Lanka;
• Tanzania;
• Kenya;
• Tajikistan.

Russia does not have ruby ​​deposits, but gems are occasionally found where corundum is mined. These are Karelia, the Polar and Southern Urals, the Kola Peninsula.

Gem Features

It is noteworthy that ruby ​​is not an independent type of mineral, but one of the varieties of corundum - just like sapphire. If this natural mineral is colored red, then it is called ruby, but if the natural shade is blue, then such a stone is called sapphire.

Real ruby ​​is a rarity , since the main deposits are almost exhausted, and new ones are only being developed. Therefore, refined stones are often used in jewelry.

For example, to obtain refined stone, minerals of not the best quality are used: they are specially processed to remove defects and improve color.

Rough Ruby

Synthetic rubies are lab-grown corundum. Such inserts are in demand no less than natural ones: synthetic corundums are practically indistinguishable from natural minerals in appearance, shine and color.

Ruby is one of the most expensive gems. Its unique feature is that in terms of hardness it is second only to diamond .

Are decorations from the USSR era valuable?

In Soviet times, a massive ring with a ruby ​​was considered a sign of the owner’s wealth. Every woman tried to save up from her salary and acquire a fashion accessory. But how does this fit with the statement that natural corundum is comparable in value to a diamond? It is worth considering whether the rubies in the rings from the Soviet period are real, and the answer will be obvious.

Since there were not enough genuine stones, jewelers used synthetic ones. The craftsmen also used another trick to increase the value of the mineral: cracks in low-grade specimens were filled with lead glass. Nowadays, a Soviet ring with a fake ruby ​​does not meet the requirements of beauties who appreciate the beauty of natural material.

Is there a chance to find a valuable item from that era? There are no Soviet gold rings with natural ruby ​​inserts. But even synthetics that fell into the hands of a cutting master turned from a fake into a work of art. Stones of such work will not turn into precious stones, but they can become jewelry!

If there is a ring with a ruby ​​from the times of the USSR lying around in the box, then its current value will be small.
