This genuine cabochon ruby from Sri Lanka has been mounted in an 18 karat gold ring. In the Ancient East, the ruby was considered to be the luckiest of gems, able to confer protection from misfortune. A member of the corundum family, the ruby is primarily found in India, Burma, and Ceylon. Sanskrit writing refers to it as the "king of gems". Because of its rich red color, the ruby is thought to prevent diseases of the blood and stomach. In eastern philosophy, the ruby is believed to endow its owner with peace and prosperity. Its warm glow casts a spell over the heart of all who behold it. ' - (FJ.5820)Origin: Sri Lanka Collection: Jewelry Style: Gem Stone Rings Medium: Ruby and Gold
