Everything’s Coming upRosy

ebruary casts us in that “post-
holiday looking toward Spring”
F vibe. And it’s also a sweet
time to commemorate love in all its
incarnations. Valentine’s Day—ah—a
time to celebrate fond affection.
Roses are always a good idea—as
is champagne and romantic candlelit
dinners. Memory makers, right?
Powerful Reputation
But this year let’s hear it for a gift
by Diana Jarrett GG RMV that keeps on pleasing day after day—
month and year after year. I’m talking about a special item of red
gemstone jewelry. Red is said to be the color of power, of passion
and not least, the color of true love, all because it is the color of
our hearts!
Let’s take a serious look at the sparkly jewel---ruby. It has
garnered legions of fans for centuries, most of whom were super
wealthy potentates who could afford such luxuries. But they are Crimson Red Ruby. Credit Gübelin Jewellery.
widely available to us today—thankfully.
Looking for Rubies
The most coveted of all rubies hail from Burma (now
Myanmar) and are valued for their intense red hue, sometimes
referred to as Pigeon Blood red. When it comes to the really
pricey examples of rubies, experts tell us that those are more
rare than diamonds. Their prices reflect their scarcity and their
collectability.
For the one you love and admire, this Valentine’s Day might
prove to be an ideal time to grab a luscious cherry red ruby in
all its rosy allure. This stone will do all the talking for you to its
recipient.
Crimson Red
World class gemstone and jewelry authority Gübelin Jewellery,
based in Lucerne, Switzerland knows a thing or two about the
best-of-breed gemstones. Their finest quality rubies are named
Crimson Red to distinguish them from others on the market.
They explain, “Gübelin succeeded in finding several of these
rubies possessing extraordinary qualities. The modern language
of forms places these rare rubies in the spotlight.”
Their elite jewels may help inspire you this Valentine’s Day as
you shop for the ones you love.
"The love we give away is the only love we keep."
— Elbert Hubbard
