What is the birthstone for July?
The July birthstones are ruby and carnelian. Ruby is one of the rarest and hardest gemstones on Earth, second only to diamond. Its colour ranges from deep crimson to a rich red with a whisper of purple. No two stones are exactly alike. It’s a rare stone which makes its presence known, which is exactly why ruby jewellery has always felt like something worth keeping. Beyond beauty, it carries extraordinary meaning. It’s associated with the heart, with passion and the ability to give and receive love fully. It is said to remind the wearer of what truly matters.
Carnelian is a warm semi-precious stone, long treasured by the ancient Egyptians who called it the "setting sun" - a name that does full justice to its beautiful range of shades from fire-orange reds to deep brown-reds. Having a waxy polished appearance, it carries a much quieter, earthier intensity. Associated with luck, power and protection, it was worn by Egyptian royalty as a stone of strength and grounding energy.
Where ruby speaks to the heart, carnelian speaks to the will; grounding the wearer and steadying the spirit. Together, these stones make one of our most richly coloured and heartfelt birthstone collections. Making it perfect to gift someone who truly matters, for a birthday, or an anniversary, or just because…
