About this Ruby bracelet
In ancient Asian traditions, ruby was revered as the king of precious stones, historically laid beneath the foundations of buildings to grant absolute protection. European royalty and military leaders traditionally set the stone in their armour, believing it bestowed invincibility and triumph in battle. Today, this profound legacy positions ruby as the ultimate talisman of bravery. It is traditionally believed to stimulate the root chakra, banishing self-doubt and replacing hesitation with a fierce, grounded courage to face adversity head-on.
We regularly craft these striking red pieces for entrepreneurs pitching to investors in Port Louis and athletes preparing for intense competitions at Côte d'Or. Carefully strung on durable stretch elastic at our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet is designed to withstand the rigours of an active lifestyle. The vibrant pigeon blood red tones catch the eye, acting as an immediate, tactile reminder of your own inner strength and unyielding fortitude.
History
Highly revered in ancient Asian cultures, ruby was historically laid beneath the foundations of Burmese buildings to grant good fortune and protection. Ancient Hindu traditions considered it the king of precious stones, frequently offering it to deities to ensure rebirth as an emperor. European royalty traditionally set the stone in coronation rings to symbolise passion and divine right. The name ruby derives from the Latin word 'ruber', simply translating to red.
