Ruby is one of the most frequently mentioned red crystals names in the world. It is a reddish gemstone whose name comes from the Latin word rubĕus, which translates red. Along with diamonds, emeralds and sapphires, it is considered one of the four most important gemstones.

The history of the Ruby dates back to the Greek and Egyptian Courts, where wearing a jewel net was a symbol of elegance and power. By about 200 BC, rubies were moved from China to the West, thanks to the Silk Road. In Western and Eastern cultures, rubies were used to adorn high priests and warriors.
Since ancient times, the ruby has been attributed with protective properties over its wearers. During the Middle Ages, it was customary for the swords of knights fighting in war to be adorned with these red stones.
By the nineteenth century, these gems were already recognized as symbols of love and passion, largely because of their particular color similar to the heart or blood.
