Ruby rings are gems that are second only to diamonds–in terms of value, hardness and rarity. The ruby is often esteemed “the King and Queen of gemstones” and is world-renowned for its blood-red color and beauty. “Ruber” is Latin for “ruby” and literally means red.
Ruby rings are, naturally, one of the most valuable and rare gems in the world; they also rank as precious stones—something that only diamonds, emeralds and sapphires can also claim to. Ruby rates an amazing 9.0 on the Mohs scale and has a brilliant, vitreous luster about it.
Ruby rings customarily come in three different hues, or colors. Some of the most popular are violet, pink, reddish-orange, yellowish-orange, pink, emerald and even blue. Purple is a very common variety—it’s the color that is a mixture of red and blue hues. Pigeon, blood-red is one of the most desirable forms of ruby rings, and ruby altogether for that matter, in the world.
The common point of origin for rubies has been in the Middle-East. Such countries as Cambodia, Thailand, Afghanistan and some islander African countries have been host to most of the ruby findings. Also, there have been fewer discoveries of ruby deposits in the U.S. and Greenland.
An ankle bracelet, AKA “anklet”, is the article of jewelry that beautifies the ankle. Long-revered by ancient Greeks and Romans, the ankle bracelet is a sign of many peoples’ love-affair with the foot. They come flavored-in any gem, metal, and material that any wrist bracelet, necklace, earring, etc would offer.
An ankle bracelet and its metal depend on the individual, his/her tastes, and his/her skin color. Very popular materials for anklets are 14k rose gold, 10k white gold and sterling silver. Gems, especially diamonds and aquamarines, are commonplace, as well as various little pendants and charms that can be attached to the anklet.
What’s more, ankle bracelets—usually—are designed to be interchangeable as wrist bracelets. If you’re wearing jeans, slip it on your wrist to show it off instead of hiding it. Just be careful to observe a size that will fit both your ankle and your wrist—or one that will adjust to the minute differences.
