Customized July Birthstone Jewelry: Overview of Ruby
The July birthstone, ruby, also has a history with Hinduism and India in general. The Sanskrit word for ruby was Ratnaraj, which meant “king of precious stones”. Vedic astrologers recommended people with strong sun placements to wear ruby since it would give them blessings of the sun god Surya. Also, in medieval times, Hindus offered rubies to the Hindu God Krishna, hoping that Krishna’s blessing would enable them to be born as emperors and kings in their next births.
