According to birthstone gemology, July is traditionally represented by a crimson ruby. However, I prefer to associate the month with a golden pearl. Golden pearls represent a variety of different concepts, including prosperity and luck. They also are thought to bring healing, protection and renewal properties to those who possess these rare gemstones.
