Red takes center stage as the hottest color of the holiday season.
All red looks have been trending with the fashion set for some time, but after Rihanna attended
the Fenty Hair launch party in a monochromatic look accessorized
with multiple ruby baubles, red-on-red became cooler than ever.
The 'Stay' hitmaker donned a custom red leather Khaite jacket
and skirt with ruby and diamond jewelry by Sabyasachi, David Webb and Reza.
Monochromatic outfits, particularly in red, exude confidence and sophistication.
With the vibrant color being synonymous with the holiday season, it's a natural choice for parties and festive gatherings.
By also accessorizing with ruby jewelry (à la Rihanna) you can add a touch of luxury to even the simplest of separates.
Unlike your grandmother's precious jewels, today's ruby designs are being
reimagined by edgy jewelers that aren't taking the gem so seriously.

Rubies are often referred to as the 'king of
gemstones' and their vibrant color - caused by the presence of chromium
- is often associated with passion, love, and power.
The name 'ruby' comes from the Latin word 'ruber' which means red.
Rubies are incredibly sought after for their beauty and
durability, they are ranked 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (qualitative scale that
measures the relative hardness of minerals and other materials by their resistance
to scratching), second to diamonds.
Beyond their sparkle and strength, they have held cultural
significance for centuries.
Throughout history, rubies have been associated with nobility and wealth,
often adorning the crowns of kings and queens.
They are also believed to bring good fortune and protection to their wearer.
According to Melee the Show founders Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, ruby jewelry is on the rise.
The fine jewelry trade show connects buyers and designers,
with the next shows taking place in New York
(February 1-3) and Tucson (February 5-7).
'From bold gemstones to intricate craftsmanship, our designers
bring rubies to life in ways that inspire and captivate,' said the duo.
Anthony Lent, Fannie Thomas, Heather Guidero, Jake Matluck, Amali, Karin Jacobson, Marian Maurer
and Ciara Bowles are some of the exhibiting designers who work with rubies.
