Red, White, and Blue: Rubies, Diamonds, and Sapphires 

Red, white, and blue is an iconic color combination here in the United States, especially during the summer. Whether you’re celebrating the 4th of July or cheering on athletes during the summer Olympics, the colors of the American flag are everywhere you look.

To celebrate the spirit of this patriotic colorway, we’re shining a spotlight on three of our favorite gemstones: red rubies, white diamonds, and blue sapphires. Whether you wear one, two, or all three, these stunning stones will help you shine as bright as a firework in the night sky. 

Red Rubies 

Get into the spirit of summer with red, white, and blue gemstones that will help you shine as bright as a firework in the night sky. 

Vibrant red rubies mesmerize at the heart of these gorgeous diamond halo ruby studs. 

Beloved for their lush red color, rubies have been coveted since ancient times. Rubies have long been associated with power, desire, and love. Ancient people believed that rubies held the power of life and considered them a symbol of wisdom and beauty. 

In addition to being gorgeous and highly desired, rubies are a smart choice for jewelry. Rubies are the red variety of corundum, a tough mineral with a rating of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. Corundum also has no cleavage, which is the tendency to break when struck. This makes rubies excellent for daily wear in all kinds of jewelry, including rings. 

White Diamonds 

With glittering diamond halos and gleaming white gold settings, these diamond studs have no shortage of sparkle. 

Diamonds come in every color of the rainbow, but the most popular variety has no color at all. White diamonds, also known as colorless diamonds, are transparent gems that beautifully capture and reflect light. A well cut white diamond looks bright white, with a captivating sparkle unlike any other. 

Diamonds are stunning, but they’re loved for more than just their beauty. With a hardness of 10 out of 10, diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring material on earth. This exceptional durability makes diamonds the perfect choice for all kinds of jewelry. 

Diamonds are also loved for their deep meaning. These gems are associated with eternal love, purity, and devotion. They became the go-to center stone choice for engagement rings in the 20th century, taking over the top spot from our next featured gem: blue sapphires. 

Blue Sapphires 

Adorned with enchanting blue sapphires and brilliant diamond halo settings, these blue sapphire studs are the picture of classic beauty. 

Blue sapphires have a deep, rich blue color that has been prized for thousands of years. Long associated with royalty, these blue gems have been worn by kings, queens, and important members of the clergy throughout the ages. 

Blue sapphires are associated with nobility, truth, and protection, as well as romance and fidelity. For centuries, blue sapphire engagement rings were the top choice for young couples. While diamonds have taken over as the top choice, blue sapphires are still popular for engagement rings today. 

Like rubies, sapphires are a highly practical choice for jewelry. Both rubies and sapphires are made of corundum. Red corundum is called ruby, while sapphire is the word used for every other shade of gem quality corundum. This includes blue sapphires, pink sapphires, yellow sapphires, and colorless sapphires, all of which are hard, tough, and perfect for daily wear.
