A Royal Affair: Rubies and Their Seriously Fancy History

Rubies have been on the royal radar for centuries. Ancient kings and queens couldn’t get enough of these fiery gems, and they’ve always had a special place in history.

  • Ancient India: Rubies were known as the “King of Gems” and symbolised power, protection, and passion. Warriors even embedded rubies in their armour, believing it would grant them victory. Talk about confidence!
  • Burmese Royalty: In Burma (modern-day Myanmar), the finest rubies were claimed by kings for their crowns. Burmese rubies were so prized that only royalty could wear the best of the best.
  • European Royals: Rubies made their way into the crowns, sceptres, and jewellery collections of European monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great were both fans, with rubies symbolising wealth, love, and wisdom.
  • Love and Passion: By the Renaissance, rubies were the go-to gem for engagement rings and tokens of love. After all, nothing says “I adore you” like a gorgeous red ruby.

From ancient battles to royal romance, rubies have always been the favourite gemstone for those who want to stand out. It’s no wonder they’re still as coveted today as they were hundreds of years ago!

The only difference is, nowadays, you don’t need to be royalty to rock a ruby. With FJewellery’s Ruby Drop Earrings in your jewellery box, you’ll be feeling regal in no time.
