July Birthstone Beads

July birthstone beads: ruby, the modern stone of the seventh month, with turquoise and black onyx, the July stones of older European lists. Ruby is red corundum, cut here in microfaceted rounds and rondelles, in ruby zoisite and ruby in hornblende, and in rough natural nuggets, so it comes at every price from gem red microfacets to earthy matrix beads. Turquoise brings sky blue and black onyx a solid black, which gives July jewelry 3 colors that work together: red, blue and black. In metaphysical belief ruby is associated with passion and courage, turquoise with protection on a journey, and onyx with strength and self control. The full ranges are on the ruby, turquoise and onyx pages.
