The Fiery Beauty of Ruby

When July rolls around, one gem instantly comes to mind: the ruby. Bold, passionate, and rich in history, rubies are the birthstone of July and a timeless favorite in fine jewelry. Whether you're celebrating a birthday or just drawn to its vibrant energy, ruby jewelry is a stunning way to make a statement.

At Oscar’s Design Jewelry, we love the ruby for more than just its color. It’s a stone full of fire—one that symbolizes love, strength, and confidence. And honestly, who doesn’t want a little of that in their everyday wear?

What Makes Ruby So Special

Rubies belong to the corundum family, just like sapphires, but their signature red hue comes from traces of chromium. The deeper the red, the more prized the stone—especially those with a rich, velvety glow sometimes called "pigeon blood."

Rubies have been treasured for centuries, worn by royalty and passed down through generations. In ancient times, they were believed to hold the power of life due to their blood-like color. Today, they remain a favorite for engagement rings, anniversary gifts, or anyone who wants something more vibrant than traditional diamonds.

Featured Piece: Ruby Bezel Wire Ring

One of our favorite July picks is the Ruby Bezel Wire Ring. This 14K yellow gold ring features a sleek bezel setting with a natural ruby (~1/15 ctw), offering just the right pop of color without overpowering your look. It’s perfect for everyday elegance and even better for stacking with your other favorite rings.

Why We Love It

• Simple and modern: The bezel setting keeps the ruby secure while highlighting its rich red color.
  

• Comfortable design: Lightweight and smooth, it's ideal for daily wear.
  

• Versatile style: It plays well with both casual and dressy outfits, adding just enough boldness.
  

Ruby Jewelry That Stands Out

What we love most about rubies is their versatility. They shine just as beautifully in a delicate halo ring as they do in a bold cocktail design. Pair them with white gold for a cool contrast or with yellow gold to bring out that warm glow.

In our showroom, you’ll find rubies hand-selected by our GIA-certified Gemologist, set with care right here in Los Angeles. Each piece is designed to celebrate the stone's natural brilliance—no need for filters or heavy settings. Just pure, fiery color.

A Gift That Says More

Looking for a July birthday gift? Ruby is a showstopper. It says, "I see you. I celebrate you." It also makes a beautiful gift for milestones like 15th or 40th anniversaries, or just because you want to give something full of meaning.

For those designing a custom piece, ruby offers endless creative potential. Whether you want to surround it with diamonds, mix it with sapphires, or keep it simple with a solitaire setting, we can help bring that vision to life. Our design experts love working one-on-one to turn ideas into heirloom-worthy treasures.
