July’s birthstone, rubies are possibly the most coveted gems in history. They are mentioned numerous times in ancient Sanskrit scriptures as the “king of gemstones” and are associated with beauty and wisdom. July’s birthstone is the gem for the star sign of Cancer. Its seductive red glow and rarity are linked to passion, love, wealth and power. Rubies are one of the most significant gems in history, featuring in early Sanskrit, Chinese and Greek writings. In the modern day we think of love, enchantment and protection, and of course, Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz.
See my Gemstone Collection for more dazzling jewels. This collection is hand drawn with Apple Pencil in vector format which means it's infinitely scaleable. I can print it in any size from postcard to billboard, and on fine art paper, canvas or glossy acrylic. The art can be the original gem, or a seamless pattern on prints, fabrics and wallpapers. Just ask and I'll find the best for your requirements!
