Amanda’s Style File: Ravishing Rubies
The rich red July birthstone is the epitome of romance.
These ruby and diamond earrings by Dena Kemp ($135,000) are among the 19 pieces in this Amanda’s Style File celebrating July’s birthstone, the ruby.
Name a gemstone that is more romantic than a ruby. I’ll wait.
Often associated with the heart, there is no question why rubies are often tied to romance.
However, love comes from inside as much as it comes from outside, making rubies an ideal gemstone for self-gifting and gift giving alike.
Rubies are valued for their rich red color that has made them one of the most sought-after gemstones for centuries.
This Style File shows the range of rubies – from simply adorable, wearable pieces to ravishing rubies that are jaw droppingly beautiful.
As the official birthstone of July, rubies always keep it hot.
