Bracelets with Diamonds and Rubys
The combination of gemstones in a diamond and ruby bracelet, with their dramatic colour and regal heritage, make this item of diamond jewellery the choice of the most discerning wearer.
Throughout the centuries diamonds have symbolised wealth and power as well as love and beauty. Combine this with the virtues of the ruby, those of freedom, charity, dignity and divine power, and you will see what magnetic charm diamond and ruby bracelets can exude.
Both diamonds and rubies are highly desirable stones for their strength and
rarity. While the majority of diamonds are mined in South Africa, most of
the rubies come from Burma where the Burmese believe they ripen like fruit.
The redder the colour the riper they are. A flawed ruby which is dark and
smoky is over mature. Other sources of rubies are Sri Lanka which produce
medium light stones; Thailand are dark red to brown while rubies from Africa
are smaller purplish red stones.
Ideally proportioned stones will ensure that all light entering through them will bounce and be reflected back through the top giving maximum brilliance and fire. If the stones are too shallow or too deep some light will escape through the bottom part giving a shadowy appearance.
A diamond ruby bracelet makes a stunning present either for a special someone or indeed for yourself. The colour mix is incredibly flattering making diamond and ruby bracelets versatile items of jewellery to wear. They are great for complementing the warmer tones of summer outfits or the rich tones favoured during the winter.
