Ruby & Pearl NEW Gorgeous faceted genuine 'massive' Ruby earrings accented with real freshwater pearls in 925 sterling silver. Ruby is a stone of the earthly realms. It is said to be a protector of hearth, home and personal possessions. It is also the stone of integrity, passion and contentment and has been given and received throughout the ages as a symbol of devotion and passion. In the secret language of stones, if given in a jewellery setting together with Diamond and Pearl, it is said to mean, ‘I Love You Passionately and Eternally' and with Ruby and Pearl (as with these earrings) it means I Love You Passionately'. Other than having a rough Ruby specimen, a piece of jewellery is one of the best and most cost effective ways to work with this stones' energy for healing purposes. Ruby is a deep pink to red crystal from the illustrious mineral family Corundum. It has an equally famous sister; Sapphire, and although we generally think of Sapphires as being blue, they are in fact any colour except red. This mineral group produce the second hardest crystals known to man, with Diamond being number one. Rubies are found in the crystalline or gem form, or as we have with these earrings, in what is refered to as 'massive' form, much like Rose Quartz, which also comes in gem form but is far rarer and more expensive.
