Ruby is associated with the heart and root chakras, the energy centers tied to love, courage, and vitality. It is believed to energize, protect, and inspire confidence.

July Birthstones and Zodiac

July spans two zodiac signs: Cancer (June 21 to July 22) and Leo (July 23 to August 22). Ruby is the primary Leo birthstone and is recognized for both signs. Explore our zodiac jewelry collection.

For something truly personal, build a custom piece through the GemBar or browse our full birthstone necklace and birthstone earring collections.

Ruby Meaning and Properties

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide), the same mineral that produces sapphire in every other color. Its red color comes from the trace element chromium. Ruby scores a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it the second hardest natural gemstone after diamond. Most rubies on the market are heat-treated to improve color and clarity. Heat treatment is the industry standard for ruby and is considered a permanent, stable enhancement. We are transparent about all gemstone treatments. For a deeper look at ruby's history, origin, and symbolism, visit our ruby stone guide.

Root Chakra, Heart Chakra, and Emotional Healing

Ruby is connected to both the Root Chakra (1st Chakra), which governs stability, security, and grounding, and the Heart Chakra (4th Chakra), which governs love, compassion, and emotional balance. In crystal healing traditions, ruby is used to boost confidence, enhance passion and motivation, and provide protection against negative energy.

Ruby and Zodiac Signs

Ruby is associated with Cancer (June 21 to July 22) and Leo (July 23 to August 22), the two zodiac signs that span July. For Cancer, ruby is thought to boost self-confidence and provide emotional grounding. For Leo, it enhances natural leadership, warmth, and generosity. Explore our zodiac jewelry collection.
