Chinese jade, western gems, European crystals, etc. are all unique features, and gems play an important role in many Western legends, especially rubies, which are not in the same position as ordinary jewels.
红宝石，是指颜色呈红色的刚玉，质地坚硬，硬度仅在金刚石之下，被称作“宝石之王”，且天然红宝石非常稀少，因此极其珍贵，以下便是许先生带来的天然红宝石戒指，重21g。
Ruby is a red-colored corundum with a hard texture and hardness just under the diamond. It is called the “King of Gems”, and the natural ruby is very rare, so it is extremely precious. Here is the natural ruby ring brought by Mr. Xu. It weighs 21g.

在此枚红宝石戒指中，宝石呈现深红色的鲜艳、强烈色彩，带有明显的“鸽血红”特征，弥漫着一股强烈的生气和浓艳的色彩。以前的人们认为红宝石是不死鸟的化身，对其产生了热烈的幻想。
In this ruby ring, the gemstones are dark red, intensely colored, with a distinct "pigeon red" character, filled with a strong anger and rich colors. People used to think that ruby is the embodiment of the dead bird, and it has a passionate illusion.
天然红宝石极具收藏价值，这点不仅从现在的市场行情看得到，从产量也能看得到。红宝石的产量和存储量较少，物以稀为贵，这也是为什么红宝石这么贵的原因。随着受众人群的增多，产量是逐年减少的，那么收藏价值就会越发偏高。
Natural rubies are highly collectible, not only from the current market conditions, but also from production. Ruby has less production and storage, and it is more expensive, which is why rubies are so expensive. As the audience increases, the output is reduced year by year, and the collection value will become higher and higher.
再看其戒指纹饰，同样寓意深刻。环顾红宝石的是一串英文“UNITED STATES ARMY”,意思为“美国陆军”。戒指两侧分别为“老鹰”纹饰，鹰是美国的国鸟，无论是美国的国徽，还是美国军队的军服上都描绘着一只鹰，象征着和平与强大武力。
Looking at the ring pattern, it also means profound. Looking around the ruby is a string of English "UNITED STATES ARMY", meaning "美国陆军" The two sides of the ring are decorated with "eagle". The eagle is the national bird of the United States. Both the national emblem of the United States and the military uniform of the US military portray an eagle, symbolizing peace and powerful force.
珠宝贵重、色彩艳丽、造型精巧且光泽璀璨，曾经多为皇权富贵的象征。而如今，无论在时尚的西方还是古老的东方，古董珠宝都象征人们的优雅品味，具有极其丰富的收藏价值。
Jewelry is precious, colorful, delicate and shiny, and used to be a symbol of imperial power. Nowadays, in the fashionable West or the ancient East, antique jewellery symbolizes people's elegant taste and has an extremely rich collection value.
