A Ruby Is What She Might Be Expecting From You?

Are you planning to get a wedding ring for your better half? A ruby may be answer to your long quest in this respect. Ruby, that is rightly called ‘the king of gemstones’ radiates passion and romance in the most brilliant fashion. You might have noticed the ‘I Wanna Love You Forever’ singer Jessica Simpson flaunting a smashing ruby ring on her finger. The stunning wedding band was presented to her by former footballer and her to-be husband Eric Maxwell Johnson. The warm expression of love from her beau instantly caught the attention of media. The ring had a large ruby at the center ornamented with two-pear shaped diamonds.


Some people call this gem as an emblem for unending love. And so it comes as no surprise that even the affluent facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg chose a ruby, when he wanted to propose his girlfriend Priscilla Chan (they had a relationship of nine years!!). The CEO of one of the most popular social networking sites chose the most correct gem to express his eminent feeling to his love. The ring was highly appreciated by her beloved ones when she was seen wearing it in Palo Alto, Calif on a lunch date.


Do you know that what is the factor that makes ruby immensely engaging? It is the color. The pure gleaming red color, which is also renowned as ‘pigeon’s blood’, naturally represents the true color of love and affection. Other lovely shades ranging from pink to red and maroon are the relative ones that can be used to express other shades of affinity (friendship, adoration, respect, etc.). The bright hue of this gemstone makes it so special that many times even the inclusions make no difference to the kind. May be this is the reason that it gets all the attention from the people wildly in love as it gracefully reflects the color of amour.

WED is celebrated every year on June 5, for the purpose of making people realize that how precious our Mother Earth is and so, we all should take measures to reduce the damage that has been caused to it or at least stop doing any further. And more importantly, that every bit counts and we all should perform our part rather than thinking that this all is the responsibility of some international governmental organization.

Do you want to know that how did it started? United Nations is basically the country that gave birth to this wonderful concept. It started this movement in order to raise the level of awareness and to initiate action for the protection of our environment. Such a great thinking!!

It is a glorious opportunity for everybody to not only realizes their responsibility towards Earth, but also to become agents of change.

So, now the most important question comes, what should I do in order to contribute? One most important thing to do is to raise the level of awareness among your neighbors, friends, colleagues at office, relatives or even among strangers (if you find them doing anything that is injurious to environment’s health). So, buckle up your shoes and whether organize a cleanup campaign, or start doing walk-to-work days (in order to save energy). Or, else you can participate in tree-planting drives, social media campaigns and such different concerts that are based on this theme.

So always be prepared and be attentive to make your show a big success.

For the customer, these kinds of jewelry shows are very useful. As a matter of fact if any body searches for a wholesaler on the internet, it is very difficult to find a true wholesaler with a complete beneficial package. At that time, this jewelry trade shows became handier.

Jewelry trade shows always provide you the opportunity to get the benefits of business by witnessing the product and getting the maximum advantages from any show.
