Red Rubies versus Pink Sapphires:
The name ruby derives from the Latin word ruber, which means red, which broadly covers the spectrum between anything which is deep, dark, blood red, all the way down to anything with a lighter shade of pink. With that in mind, you might think that this pink sapphire and diamond platinum bezel set eternity ring by Brian Gavin is made of rubies, but it contains pink sapphires. Which arguably are pretty much the same thing, since both rubies and sapphires are corundum, a crystalline form of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), with impurities or trace elements such as iron, titanium, or chromium. Rubies are classified as red corundum, and everything else is sapphire.
“A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” wrote Gertrude Stein in the poem Sacred Emily, circa 1913, and that perhaps best describes the difference in the color of red rubies and pink sapphires, which all fall into the corundum family.
Regardless of what you call it, red ruby jewelry represents the power of love and passion, and all the wonderful things that go with it. Which makes the red ruby and diamond jewelry from Brian Gavin the perfect gift for any time of year.
