THE STORY OF THE RUBY
An ancient Egyptian legend tells that a ruby touching a woman's skin
brings great happiness and good fortune. So it has become a trademark
of Roberto Coin that each piece of jewelry has, set at a position
closest to the skin of the wearer, a marquise ruby.
Throughout history the Burmese have inserted rubies under their skin
so they would not be wounded in battle. It was believed that rubies had
the power to ensure a peaceful life. On a spiritual level, rubies were
believed to banish evil thoughts and reconcile disputes. Considered the
"Lord of gems" in many countries rubies were reserved only for kings.
