Ruby Earrings Made with Care in Western Australia

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.

Why Ruby Earrings Never Go Out of Style

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.

Our Commitment at Gemstone Western Australia

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.

Our customer-first approach is backed by:

  • Clear product descriptions and real imagery
  • Transparent sourcing information
  • Local after-sales support and service

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.

Styles to Consider When Choosing Your Next Pair

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:

1. Ruby Stud Earrings

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.

2. Ruby Drop Earrings

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.

3. Ruby Halo Earrings

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.

4. Vintage-Inspired Designs

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.

What Makes a Ruby Valuable?

Not all rubies are created equal. Here’s what experts look for when assessing the quality of these gemstone pieces:

  • Color:  Color is the most important factor. The most prized rubies have a vivid, medium to deep red tone with minimal brown or purple overtones. Too dark and the ruby loses its brightness; too light and it begins to resemble pink sapphire.
  • Clarity:  While most rubies contain natural inclusions (small internal features), the fewer and less visible they are, the more valuable the ruby. We ensure all visible inclusions are disclosed before purchase.
  • Cut:  A good cut highlights the ruby’s color and brilliance. Whether round, cushion, oval, or pear-shaped, the cut should be symmetrical with even facets that catch the light beautifully.
  • Origin:  Burmese rubies are among the most sought-after, but other high-quality rubies come from Sri Lanka, Mozambique, and Madagascar. We always disclose origin where available and provide full gemological details upon request.

Styling These Gemstone Pieces with the Rest of Your Jewellery

Rubies pair well with metals that either contrast or complement their warm tones. Here’s a simple guide:

  • Yellow Gold: Enhances the red hues, perfect for a bold, traditional look.
  • White Gold or Platinum: Adds contrast, giving the rubies a brighter, more modern appearance.
  • Rose Gold: Creates a warm, romantic aesthetic, often chosen for anniversary gifts.

Because of their rich color, ruby earrings also pair nicely with diamonds, sapphires, and pearls, depending on the overall look you’re going for.

A Meaningful Gift Choice

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.

When you choose a piece from Gemstone Western Australia, your gift comes with care instructions, a certificate of authenticity, and the option for custom engraving (upon request).

Caring for Your Gemstone Jewelry

 With the right care, these pieces can last for generations. Here are a few basic care tips to protect your investment:

  • Storage: Keep them in a soft-lined jewellery box or separate pouch to avoid scratching.
  • Cleaning: Use warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners unless specified safe by a jeweller.
  • Maintenance: Check prongs and settings once a year to ensure the stone remains secure.

We offer professional cleaning and inspection services at our store, so feel free to reach out or visit us anytime.
