Ruby is also known as the birthstone for July.

It is second only to diamond in hardness and has long been loved by royalty and warriors as a stone that symbolizes passion, love, and courage.

The red isn't just vibrant.
A deep, warm red that seems to radiate light from within.
A soft and calming red.
When you wear it, you will feel as if your back is standing straight and your mind is looking forward.

We value the unique characteristics of natural stones.
We deliberately utilize even slight color variations and inclusions as evidence of the time when the stone was created.

Rings with a single stone set on a delicate arm,
The earrings with a subtle sparkle of red on the ears are
It blends naturally with basic outfits such as white shirts and knitwear,
