There is no doubt that one must always dress for the occasion. Before styling your ruby stack, consider the time of day, the type of gathering and the outfit you have chosen. Here are some classic pieces of ruby jewellery that you can turn to, no matter what the occasion or look.
Rubies are versatile enough to transition from daywear to evening glamour with ease. For an everyday look, choose simple ruby stud earrings or a delicate ruby pendant. These pieces are subtle yet striking, adding just the right amount of elegance without overpowering your daytime attire.
Pair a ruby ring with your office wear to introduce a pop of colour to a standard business ensemble, ensuring it's seen but not distracting. One is never overdressed or underdressed with a pair of rosy ruby ear drops. Casual, chic or ceremonial, these 18kt rose gold ruby earrings with dainty diamonds, make for a versatile jewellery piece.
For more formal occasions, ruby jewellery can transform your outfit into something truly spectacular. A deep red ruby necklace or a choker adorned with rubies from C. Krishniah Chetty can serve as the centrepiece of your attire.
Match it with a black evening gown or a deep blue cocktail dress to let the rubies stand out, making a clear, bold statement. Layering ruby bracelets or bangles adds a luxurious touch to any festive or wedding outfit, harmonizing with traditional and contemporary styles alike. Two is better than one! These ruby ear drops with dazzling diamonds, crafted in 18kt white gold, make styling fun and flexible.
Wear it two ways, depending on your mood, outfit and occasion. Rubies are striking enough to stand alone or can be paired with other gemstones for a more eclectic look. A ruby and diamond bracelet combines the classic beauty of diamonds with the passionate hue of rubies, creating a balanced look that’s both elegant and eye-catching.
Don't shy away from mixing metals;ruby jewellerysets in white, yellow, or rose gold. Rubies aren't just for the gentler folk; they also make a powerful statement in men’s accessories. Jewellers offer sophisticated options like ruby cufflinks or tie pins that can add a hint of subtle class to a man’s formal wear.
These small accents suggest a sense of confidence and style savviness that does not go unnoticed! A nod to sophisticated styling, this 18kt white gold ruby lapel pin with a delicate frame of diamonds and gold ‘Ghanda Bherunda’ motifs, makes an assertive statement. Colour Coordination: Wear clothes in neutral colours like black, white, or navy to make your ruby jewellery stand out, or opt for contrasting colours like emerald green to complement the red. Balance the Bling: If wearing large or multiple ruby pieces, keep the rest of your jewellery minimal.
Let the rubies be the focal point. Occasion Appropriate: Choose the size and sparkle based on the event—larger, more ornate pieces for evenings and celebrations; simpler, smaller pieces for daily wear. Dream Stack: Layer pendants with necklaces of varying lengths, stack your ruby rings with dainty metal bands, or combine ruby bracelets with bagels - the secret is to mix different metals, textures and gemstones.
To keep your rubies radiant, clean your ruby jewellery using mild soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding any harsh chemicals. Store them separately from other jewellery pieces in a soft, velvety pouch or a lined jewellery case. Rubies are a symbol of passion and luxury, and styling them should be an expression of your personal fashion sense.
Whether you’re looking to add a subtle hint of colour or make a bold fashion statement. In every ruby you don, you feel the spark of earth’s primordial fire. Carry this birthstone for July with passion and feel its spirit elevate yours.
