Red has been associated with beauty, love and passion since ancient times. It is also a symbol of fire, sun, strength and power. Wearing a piece of jewelry with a sparkling red gemstone is a great way to instantly be in the spotlight.
Selecting a red gem to insert into the jewelry. Among the most beautiful crystals of the highest standard are tourmalines, rubies and spinels. And each of them has its own merits.
Tourmaline (ruby red rubellite)
Natural tourmaline crystals often contain inclusions. Therefore, their main value lies not in the internal purity of the stone, but in its color. The most valuable are rubellites of saturated bright red and uniform color. But jewelry with a purple gem looks no less beautiful.
Tourmaline can show all its magnificence only in the rays of the sun. With artificial light and at dusk, it seems to close, trying not to waste internal energy in vain. A gift in the form of jewelry with tourmaline is a guarantee of long-lasting friendship and love.
Ruby - the king of gems and the "stone of the Sun"
The red ruby is considered the patron saint of lovers. This is a concentrated passion and ardor. Jewelry with it is given to express their burning feelings and as a wedding gift. The most expensive and coveted are Burmese gems, but less expensive counterparts from Mozambique or Australia are most often found in jewelry stores.
Rubies are also identified with courage, determination, power and strength. Jewelry with them was and is now in almost all the treasuries of kings, emperors and all who consider themselves to be in power. And if diamonds are also present in the composition of stones, then such a jewel is an undoubted symbol of authority and luxury.
Spinel - a rarity for connoisseurs
This gem is little known. Often it is even confused with a ruby. Spinel means "spark" in Greek. No wonder its sparkling beauty attracts people so much. The crowns of many European emperors are decorated with this gem. The most valuable are large stones of bright red color.
Most often, spinel is inserted into earrings, rings and pendants. But a necklace or bracelet with it is a rarity. In jewelry, it does not affect a person as much as a ruby. And unlike the latter, it is more a symbol of happiness and tender love than power and passion.
