What Is a Ruby Anniversary?

A ruby anniversary is celebrated after forty years, and is a true milestone of the lasting bond shared between two people. Its significance goes beyond that, however, as it is also a symbol of the companionship and strength that embody a relationship having lasted so long.

Rubies are some of the most precious stones available, and are believed to bring luck and protection to those who wear them. In addition to their beauty and power, rubies were also believed to signify passion, devotion, and warmth. This makes them an apt symbol of a couple’s forty year commitment.

History of the Ruby Stone

So, what does the birthstone ruby mean?

Many beliefs about rubies are believed to have originated from ancient Hindu folklore. According to legend, an old Hindu couple prayed for an enchanted ruby that could stay with them through time, so they would never forget their shared love and experiences through the years. Thus rubies were considered to be associated with passion, endurance, and commitment, and were thought to offer protection and stability to those who held them close, much like love in a lasting marriage.

The fact that rubies are one of the hardest stones is also symbolic of a forty year bond between two people—a true demonstration of enduring love and strength.

What Is the Perfect Ruby Anniversary Celebration?
