Engraving and gilding by Abed

The Old Testament of the Bible mentions ruby many times (along with a catalogue of other precious stones) in the Book of Exodus, and many times in the Book of Proverbs, as well as various other times.

An early recorded transport and trading of rubies arises in the literature on the North Silk Road of China, wherein about 200 BC rubies were carried along this ancient trackway moving westward from China.

Rubies have always been held in high esteem in Asian countries. They were used to ornament armor, scabbards, and harnesses of noblemen in India and China. Rubies were laid beneath the foundation of buildings to secure good fortune to the structure.

A traditional Hindu astrological belief holds rubies as the “gemstone of the Sun and also the heavenly deity Surya, the leader of the nine heavenly bodies (Navagraha).” The belief is that worshiping and wearing rubies causes the Sun to be favorable to the wearer.
