While temperatures rise across the country, so too does our desire for rubies. 

As the official birthstone of July, rubies have long been associated with wealth, love and passion. They have a storied history that has captivated and enchanted generation after generation. 
 
Rubies are rich in lore and remain a timeless gemstone that is desirable to consumers for a variety of reasons. This desirability has encouraged jewelers and designers to create stylish ruby jewelry that is as unique as the individuals who wear it.  
 
As we celebrate July birthdays this month, we celebrate the ruby. 

Here are my Style File selections that are sure to heat up your feed.
