Paint me Red

Ruby, the birthstone for July with its dazzling red hue is considered as one of the most beautiful gemstones. An epitome of love, romance and passion, this stunning gem has much history and lore attached to it.

Old Indian scriptures refer to ruby as Oval, Round Ruby and Diamond Earrings ratanraj’ or ‘king of gemstones’. Some Hindu mythologies describe the palaces of Gods and Goddesses to be lit by emeralds and rubies. It is even said that in ancient times in India, whenever a particularly fine quality of ruby was found, the king would send a group of noblemen to welcome the gem.

Anniversary stone of 15th and 40th year of marriage & the Zodiac stone for the Capricorns, ruby was often worn by kings and the other royalties as it was believed that it protects wearer from any kind of harm.

The gem scores 9 on Mohs’ Scale of hardness, making this incredible gem apt for daily wear.

The sensuous red color of rubies is perfect way to enliven any outfit of yours. Whether you want to wear something to complement your work wear or your something to glamorize your evening dress, rubies have a beautiful quality of never going unnoticed.

So are you all set to paint the World Red!

Rihanna and ruby jewelry

Rihanna at AMA 2010

Rihanna American Music Awards 2010 Medley – RnB singer Rihanna and her new curly hairdo at the opening of American Music Awards 2010.

The Barbadian star first sang “Love the Way You Lie Part II” which was later followed by “Only Girl In The World” and eventually took on “What’s My Name” with the help of some back up dancers at 2010 AMA in Los Angeles.

Gawking at Rihanna matching with the fabulous carpet at the The Nokia Theatre in an ample, backless gown; netizens are all wonderstruck. Answers on sites asking opinions on her curly hairdo are mixed, some saying the red hair+ red dress + red carpet is too much; some saying that the dress and the hair are far too old for someone this young. This is a look for Diana Ross or Cher!

Hairdo or not, I am really taken by these awesome hoops- just superb. Find such and smaller diamond and gemstone and diamond hoops and semi hoops, here at Angara.com. BTW, did she miss these ruby hoops to go with the red hair with red dress on red carpet altogether?

Fall 2010: Little Red Dress

Early 2010, the LND (little nude dress) gave the LBD a serious run for its money as celebs started going nude. But with Fall 2010 here, there’s a new dress in town: The LRD (little red dress) which has caught the fancy.

Last few weeks have seen countless fiery fashionistas donning red, be it daytime or evening ambiance. At WWD’s 100th anniversary fete, models Karen Elson and Coco Rocha opted for reds: Karen wore a silky one-shoulder dress while Coco showed a red flannel over leather leggings. Eva Mendes, Halle Berry and Hillary Swank are other celebrities who chose red for this season.
