Ancient Hindus believed that those who offered rubies to the god Krishna would be emperors in a future life. People in India and Burma have also believed that rubies offered safety and peace, and medieval Europeans thought that these gems guaranteed health, wealth, wisdom, and success in love.
Symbolism in jewellery is hardly uncommon, yet we often forget the complex language behind it. We use symbols very commonly today in modern jewellery, yet not nearly as intimately as in prior time periods. In present day you will see embellished hearts conveying love, personalized zodiac signs, religious symbols, gender, and cremation jewellery to name a few. But we don't always know where these romantic, magical, spiritual, endearing, audacious, blessed, grieving & gleeful symbols were brought about and represented at their best.
Rhinestones & gemstones were placed in Victorian jewellery with much care & thought. jewellery pieces sometimes contained color coded messages with shops each color standing for a letter, which spelled out a kind word for loved ones.
