Swarovski is exploring the power of color and how they can affect our thoughts and emotions with their Psychology of Colors program. This month’s focus is on Ruby, an emotionally charged color representing strong feelings and a passionate nature. This rich reddish-pink crystal stimulates the senses and will bring fire and energy to your jewelry designs. It is a symbol of excitement, love, and power. Read on for inspiration on how to use this shade in your jewelry designs and then learn how you can enter to win our Ruby Giveaway.
Ruby beads definitely bring excitement in this Baroque Beauty necklace. This necklace features beaded links and Vintaj components for a sumptuous style that’s the perfect blend of modern and antique. The unique, vintage-inspired shape of the Baroque beads work perfectly with Ruby’s deep beauty.
If you’re looking for the perfect colors to use alongside Ruby, look to our Casablanca bracelet for inspiration. This design pairs the rich hue with Iridescent Dark and Light Blue pearls, along with bicones in Fuchsia AB 2x and Yellow Opal AB 2x. This is a captivating combination for winter and right into spring.
We love this Swarovski color so much, we’re giving it away, along with some beautiful matching items chosen by Cynthia. One lucky winner will receive bicones and Baroque beads in the Ruby color, along with Czech glass pinch beads, a golden tassel, and a floral Grace Lampwork focal bead.

Thank you Artbeads for another wonderful giveaway! I love the beautiful color of the Swarovski ruby beads!
I would use them in earring, bracelet and necklace designs and in bead weaving designs. The 2mm or 3mm bicones would be so pretty in a bead woven bracelet!
Any Swarovski color is fabulous but red is especially exciting! Thanks for all of your tutorials and for the generous give-a-ways!
I would love to make a necklace, bracelet and earrings with the red beads.
Beautiful color. I have a daughter-in-law which birthstone is Ruby.
I would use the beads in a cellini spiral bracelet.
Ruby is my birthstone! I would make a complete set with them — necklace, bracelet, and earrings — to wear on my birthday!
I would use these in bracelets and probably a necklace. I love the color. They will make wonderful gifts!
Absolutely love this color. My Mom’s birth stone. I think of her whenever I see the beautiful deep color.
I would use it to explore outside of my usual comfort zone
I love the color red. I have always wished I had born a few days later so I could have Ruby as my birthstone.
I would use them to make necklace, earrings and bracelets.
I too love any color of Swarovski but I’m fascinated by the delight colors
It’s the time of year to use this color in glam designs for holiday celebrations to brighten up cold winter nights – or kinda chilly winter nights in Texas. Ruby adds just the right flash and subtle sparkle to suggest warmth and passion. Silver and red dominate my Christmas decorations, so, ruby fits right in.
I love the richness of the ruby color.
I just used Crystal AB Baroque for the first time a few weeks ago and I love them! I think they are perfect for earrings!!!
I love this Ruby Giveaway, it’s my birthstone. I have one in a ring that I received as a gift fifty-something years ago. I will be making Baroque Beauty.
Love the Ruby color. It’s soft and so pretty. I would make a Christmas/NewYears necklace and earring set. Probably a bracelet too.
I have done very little with red as I rarely wear red, so I think I would either make myself a necklace & earrings for Christmas or better yet make a set for my youngest daughter as it is her birthstone. I love the Baroque Ruby!
I am immediately drawn to the new Baroque style beads so I would definitely make earrings with those & go from there. Furthermore, I really like the combo of yellow & ruby you showed in the blog so I would start there. Thanks for the inspiration.
Ah, such a beautiful red! The Baroque shape is just stunning. I can’t wait to pair it with small gold spacers and some moonstone!
I love the pop of ruby red with antique brass, and of course, nothing sparkles like Swarovski! It would be so much fun to design a vintage style jewelry piece.
This is one of my favourite colours, would love to win
Ruby is my birthstone, also. My favorite way to use this color is with bronze and other brownish colors. Ruby brings them to life. I would use these beads in crocheted jewelry and as accents on handbags.
I love this color and the Baroque crystals would be perfect for drops from the black and red choker I’m doing (seed bead netting)!
Ruby’s are my favorite stone. I would love to make some earrings and necklace to match.
Thank you ArtBeads for all the fun and great products you provide!
My favorite color. I’d make a stunning Bracelet! Beautiful Beads!
I love Swarovski beads period! Having them in a Ruby color
would be wonderful! Ruby is my Daughter’s birthday! I would make several things and let her choose. Artbeads is a wonderful place to shop for beads!
I Love this color and love Swarovski beads!! Would use them in various bracelets that I have planned to make-
I love rubies and since they are my birthstone I would most likely make something for myself. This is a fabulous giveaway!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win these beautiful components! I love artbeads…you guys are the best!! I would definitely create a necklace and bracelet with all of these…red is such a delicious color!
Two very beautiful and rich colors compliment each other like none other.
Thanks for the chance to win…….I like the first one with the Vintaj pieces incorporated into it. Looks rather antique, but the red is beautiful.
In a Christmas inspired bracelet
