Ruby and Diamond Bangle Bracelet in 18K

Named from the Latin word for red, ruby is the essence of red and the gem of desire, passion, courage, and emotion. In Ancient Sanskrit, ruby is ratnaraj, the king of gems. Ruby burns like a glowing coal: no wonder ancient people believed they contained an undying flame. For most of recorded history, ruby has been the most valuable gem. In the Bible, only wisdom and virtuous women are "more precious than rubies.” Burning bright in history and legend but even more bewitching in person, ruby is the birthstone for the month of July and the gem of the 15th and 40th anniversaries.

Luxurious 18K Rose gold blushes with a soft peachy color. 18K rose gold combines 75% pure gold with copper to give it its delicate pink cast. Rose gold is a beautiful complement to gemstones and flattering to the skin too. First developed by Faberge for its famous Imperial Eggs, rose gold is as beautiful in modern designs as in antique Victorian and Retro jewelry styles.
