Natural ruby, the July birthstone, in a warm pinkish red that carries a lot of colour for the size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe setting is stripped right back. Four slim claws hold each stone at the corners and nothing else gets in the way, so the ruby is almost all you see from the front. A small gold bead sits above each drop where it meets the wire, a neat little finish. Because they hang free, the colour keeps moving whenever you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe stones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuby:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural, oval cut, 8 x 6mm, 2.55ct total\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-claw, on hook wires\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout ruby\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby is the red variety of corundum, the same mineral as sapphire, coloured by a trace of chromium in the crystal. That same chromium is what makes a fine ruby seem to almost glow. It sits at 9 on the hardness scale, second only to diamond, which is part of why it has been worn and treasured for thousands of years and stands up so well to everyday wear. The most prized stones show a pure, saturated red, and good natural ruby in a clean colour like this is genuinely hard to come by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness: \u003c\/strong\u003e9 on the Mohs scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e July\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCome and see them in the cabinet at Craigieburn.
