In a world where style often changes with the seasons, one thing remains constant—gemstones carry timeless beauty. Among them, ruby earrings have long stood out. Their vivid red color isn't just beautiful; it's meaningful, powerful, and personal. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply treating yourself, these pieces offer more than aesthetics—they tell a story.
At Gemstone Western Australia, we take that story seriously. Based in the heart of Western Australia, we’re proud to bring you fine gemstone jewellery that honors the land, respects the craft, and stays true to your intention.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know—from the history and symbolism of the gemstone to what to consider when choosing the right pair.
Rubies are often referred to as the “King of Gemstones,” and it’s not hard to see why. With their rich red hues and deep glow, rubies naturally draw attention. For centuries, they’ve symbolised love, passion, courage, and protection. In ancient Burma, warriors wore rubies into battle believing they made them invincible. Today, rubies are just as strong—but now they shine from fine jewellery boxes across the world.
When set into earrings, rubies become even more versatile. Whether in dainty studs or dramatic drop earrings, they complement both everyday wear and evening attire. They stand beautifully on their own or paired with diamonds or other precious stones.
At Gemstone Western Australia, our goal is simple: to provide carefully sourced, finely crafted jewellery you can wear with pride. We’re a family-run business that has served the WA community for years, and we bring that same trust and attention to every piece we design and curate.
We don’t mass-produce. Every ruby earring we offer is thoughtfully selected and inspected by experienced gemologists who understand the delicate balance between color, clarity, and craftsmanship.

We believe in helping customers make informed decisions—not rushed ones. When you shop with us, you’ll always know what you’re buying, why it’s special, and how to care for it properly.
Choosing the right pair can feel overwhelming, especially with so many styles available. Here are the most common types, each suited to different tastes and occasions:
A timeless classic. Ruby studs sit flush against the earlobe and work well for both formal and casual settings. They’re perfect for those who want elegance without being too flashy.
Designed to dangle just below the earlobe, these offer more movement and visual interest. Often paired with diamonds or white gold, drop earrings are ideal for special occasions.
A central ruby surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds or white sapphires creates a bright, luxurious look. These are often gifted for anniversaries or important life events.
Inspired by Edwardian, Victorian, or Art Deco designs, these pieces bring historic flair and are typically handcrafted. If you're drawn to heirloom aesthetics, this style offers depth and personality.
Not all rubies are created equal. Here’s what experts look for when assessing the quality of these gemstone pieces:
Rubies pair well with metals that either contrast or complement their warm tones. Here’s a simple guide:
Because of their rich color, ruby earrings also pair nicely with diamonds, sapphires, and pearls, depending on the overall look you’re going for.
Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or graduation, these pieces carry meaning that goes beyond the material. They represent love, protection, and power—all sentiments that make them a heartfelt gift.
Ruby is also the birthstone for July, which makes it an even more personal choice for loved ones born in that month. It’s traditionally given for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries, symbolising enduring passion and partnership.
