Ravishing In Red: 5 Red Gemstones That Will Steal Your Heart

When it comes to gemstones, there’s just something irresistible about red! Bold, passionate, and full of energy, this striking hue has long been associated with love, power, and confidence. From deep burgundy tones to fiery crimson hues, red gemstones make every piece of jewelry a total showstopper.

Ready to add a little extra sparkle to your life? We’re here to share five ravishing red gemstones and the beautiful meanings and properties behind each one! Let’s dive in!

Ruby

We’re kicking things off with the iconic ruby! Known for its dazzling red brilliance and incredible strength (a 9 on the Mohs scale!), this July birthstone is all about passion and vitality. Rubies are said to ward off negativity and inspire confidence, helping you stay positive and unstoppable through life’s challenges. Wearing a piece of ruby jewelry like our Juniper ring or Claire 4.0 bracelet can help keep the good vibes flowing!

Garnet

January babies, this one’s for you! Garnet shines in shades ranging from rich red to deep burgundy, symbolizing love, loyalty, and energy. With a Mohs ranking of 6.5–7.5, it’s perfect for everyday wear (with mindful wear as always, of course) and carries the kind of warmth that makes it feel like a cozy hug in gemstone form. Our Gemini earrings or Scarlett ring are the perfect pieces that can be worn to help keep the positive energy high and the love flowing!

Sapphire

When you think sapphire, blue may come to mind - but red sapphires are equally enchanting! Ranking a solid 9 on the Mohs scale, this gem blends luxury with durability. Red sapphires are believed to bring peace and calm in stressful times - basically, the gemstone equivalent of a deep breath and a glass of wine. Our sapphire jewelry pieces like 0.96ct Maddy and 1.35ct Marlow both great and stylish options to rock the red sapphire look!

Spinel

Often mistaken for ruby, spinel is a hidden gem (literally!). Scoring an 8 on the Mohs scale, red spinel dazzles with brilliance and depth. Known to banish negative vibes and encourage self-love, spinel helps you shine your brightest while embracing every beautiful part of yourself! Wearing a piece of spinel jewelry like our Lollie band is a great way to express self-love, and to show off the gemstone of course.

Tourmaline

Last but definitely not least - tourmaline! This October birthstone comes in many colors, but its red and pink varieties radiate pure love. Ranking 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale, red tourmaline symbolizes compassion, passion, and unconditional love - making it the perfect gemstone for romantic souls. Rocking our tourmaline birthstone stud earrings or Cosmo ring are the perfect pieces to show your love for tourmaline!
