About this Ruby bracelet

Highly revered in ancient Asian cultures, ruby was traditionally considered the king of precious stones and offered to deities to ensure rebirth as an emperor. European royalty traditionally set the crimson stone in coronation rings to symbolise unyielding devotion and divine right. Today, this historical association with profound passion makes ruby the ultimate traditional stone for stimulating the root and heart chakras, renewing one's zest for life and creative pursuits.

We frequently assemble these striking pieces for artists in Curepipe seeking renewed inspiration and long-term couples celebrating milestones in Grand Baie. Expertly strung on durable stretch elastic at our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet offers a secure, comfortable fit for daily wear. The deep pigeon blood red beads provide a constant, tactile reminder of your own inner fire and unwavering commitment to your personal goals.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my ruby bracelet every day?

Ruby is exceptionally hard and perfect for daily wear. To preserve the internal stretch elastic, we recommend removing the bracelet before swimming, showering, or engaging in intense physical activities that might strain the cord.

How do I cleanse ruby in Mauritian humidity?

Avoid using water to protect the elastic core. Instead, cleanse your ruby by passing it gently through the smoke of traditional incense. You can easily recharge its passionate energy by placing it in the mild, early morning sunlight.

Is a ruby bracelet a traditional anniversary gift?

Yes, ruby is historically the traditional gemstone for celebrating a fortieth wedding anniversary. Its long-standing association with deep devotion and enduring passion makes it a highly meaningful gift for romantic partners reaching significant milestones together.

Which stones best complement the energy of ruby?

To balance its intense, fiery nature, many wearers pair ruby with the softer, nurturing energy of rose quartz. If you are looking to ground that passionate drive into practical action, stacking it with hematite or black tourmaline is highly effective.
