Design:
The reverse design by Three Degrees Creative Group is both visually compelling and richly symbolic, with a thoughtful melding of traditional and contemporary designelements. In the background, a beautifully engraved lotus pattern fills the reverse in a modern take on the blooms that traditionally symbolize purity ofthe heart and mind. A majestic, mid-relief dragon is brought to life through intricate engraving that recreates it in extraordinary detail; its presence also carries a strong meaning, as the dragon is a time-honoured symbol of power, strength and good luckin Asian mythology. Above it, a traditional circular motif bears a Swarovski® crystal embellishment that represents a ruby, the birthstone for July, which is said to bring nobility and beauty to those born in the month.
- The ruby is a variety of gems called "corundum," which are harder than any other natural gemstone (except the diamond).
- A ruby's colour is its most important value, with medium-dark red being highly prized; if a rubyis too light, or has excessive purple or orange tints, it is known instead as a fancy-colour sapphire.
- The ruby was the most valuable gem in ancient Southeast Asia, where it is still found today.
The vibrant, almost blood-red shade of a rubymakes it a fitting gemstone to represent love and passion, and is one of the world's most unique gems. To those born in the hot summer month of July, rubies are a symbol of zeal that is said to offerfortune, beauty, nobility and love. Ancient cultures also believed it had protective powers that couldward off evil.
