Ruby, is the july birthstone and a red gem that's been a favorite since ancient times. Many of the rubies in today's jewelry are either synthetic or treated to improve their appearance, so be sure to read the descriptions when you buy ruby jewelry and ask questions if descriptions don't answer your questions.
A few pieces in this collection contain red stones that are not rubies, but I felt they should be included because they are both stylish and affordable.
