RUBY
Keywords: Excitement / Love / Passion / Power
December is the most EXCITING time of year which is exactly what the Ruby represents.
It is the time of year where love fills the air and the passion for tradition and family resonates within everyone.
Ruby is an emotionally charged color representing strong feelings and a passionate nature. It has the ability to stimulate your senses, energize your confidence, and invoke tenacious ambition balanced with dignified action.
If you enjoy the color Ruby, you have a delightful zeal and enthusiasm for life, suggesting that you are not afraid to pursue your goals and dreams.
Ruby lovers tend to be hard workers, taking pleasure in physical labor and working with their hands. Wear this hue if you want to take action by invigorating courage, strength, assertiveness and power.
If you're naturally ambitious, a trail blazer and find exploration irresistible, then you are also most likely drawn to Ruby red colors. If you're wanting to incorporate more of any or all of these qualities, wearing Ruby and red tones will help to inspire you in this direction.
