Rubies were highly valued by the Rajput kings, and South Indian royalty who believed that these gemstones signified power, passion, and valour. Legend has it that rubies given to warriors and rulers represented their victory and helped them become strong. Rubies could be found as sacred offerings in many southern Indian temples, indicating the importance and wealth of the place in the form of antique stone jewellery or fine ruby and diamond earrings. The ruby collections at Vivant Treasures offer fine and ethically sourced ones to those who recognize and appreciate traditions and craftsmanship.
