The modern calendar mapping was standardized in 1912 by the National Association of Jewelers (now Jewelers of America) and remains the reference list used across most of the English-speaking world. Worn close to the body, a birthstone ring functions as a personal sign, the wearer's name on the calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this stone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby is the red variety of corundum, the same mineral as sapphire, colored red by trace chromium that absorbs green and blue light and transmits red. The finest rubies historically come from the Mogok valley in Burma, where deposits have been mined for at least a thousand years, with the most prized stones showing a fluorescent \"pigeon's blood\" red under sunlight. Most ruby on the market today is heat-treated, an industry-standard treatment performed for centuries to deepen and stabilize color. The stone is 9 on the Mohs scale, the second hardest gem mineral after diamond, and extremely durable for daily wear. Curated by a certified gemologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and wear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby is among the hardest gem materials and durable for daily wear.
