Frequently Asked Questions
Name, History & Etymology
History
Rubies have been prized gemstones for thousands of years, with their deep red color symbolizing power, passion, and protection. Ancient cultures often associated rubies with the sun and believed they possessed mystical powers. They were worn by royalty and nobility as talismans and symbols of wealth. The most famous historical source for rubies was the Mogok Valley in Myanmar (Burma), which has been producing high-quality rubies for over 800 years. The term 'ruby' itself derives from the Latin word 'ruber' meaning red, reflecting its defining characteristic. Historically, all red gemstones were often referred to as rubies until advancements in mineralogy allowed for more precise identification, distinguishing rubies (corundum) from spinels and garnets.
