The Sanskrit word for Ruby is ratnaraj, meaning “King of Gemstones.” They are one of the most precious and popular gemstones, possessing wonderfully rich color, excellent hardness and exceptional brilliance. The finer examples are also very rare. The color of fire and blood, rubies have always symbolized passion, love and devotion; the wearer is supposedly blessed with health, wealth and wisdom, as well as success in romance. Rubies come in a subtle range of red colors, from violet-red to pink, caused by traces of chromium. The Saunders Collection features 12 stones of beautiful cut and brilliance, plus 4 ruby crystals.
