The story of Little Ruby and Mevisto’s gemstone Ruby
Every Mevisto gemstone tells its own unique story.
Not only does it hold hair or ashes of dearly departed persons or pets, but it also carries and conveys emotions along with exceedingly personal moments.
Unfortunately, some of the stories told by our gemstones are sad and rooted in the tragedies of life.
One of these stories belongs to Little Ruby...
Star child Ruby
For Carina and her small family life was like a dream come true! After realizing her first dream of founding her family with a husband and child, her life turned into sheer exultation when she learned that she was pregnant with her second child.
Her daughter Ruby! Carina was a happy pregnant woman, and everything seemed to be perfect. Until the moment she started feeling bad and everything changed. All of a sudden, one doctor’s appointment followed the other, Carina increasingly sensed that something was wrong. Shortly before Carina gave birth, the couple learned that Ruby would not be a healthy baby. Yet, Carina took on the fight for her happiness and her little girl and was prepared to do everything in her power to give Ruby a good life in her family.
But, she lost...
Ultimately, she was only granted a devastatingly short period with her daughter before fate turned her into a Star Child, slipping away into eternal sleep in her mommy’s arms. She has found relief in her Instagram channel carrykinakatty, which helps her process the profound sorrow and all the emotions that have troubled her and still do. The young Star Child mommy uses her profile both to deal with her grief for Ruby and to help other families overcome their own sorrow. Another object that is helping her come to terms with her grief is Mevisto’s gemstone Ruby.
“While I cannot bring my daughter back, I can try every day to make the most of the life I am living.
It feels wrong to stop living your life, even through I had wished nothing more than to give Ruby a wonderful life and show her the beauty of this world.
Mundane things such as letting Ruby feel the sun’s warning rays on her skin.
I know for sure that one day I will see her again, but until that time there are many more stories to experience before I can tell them all to her.”
Ruby turns into Ruby
Her world came crashing down on Carina, making it seem that the sun could never shine for her again. But, Carina deserved a way to carry Ruby with her all the time. Not only in her thoughts and IN her heart, but literally CLOSE TO her heart. The reason by Carina is now able to carry Ruby on person is that parts of her daughter’s ashes as well as hairs from her family were transformed into a ruby named “Ruby”. To Carina, her gemstone Ruby signifies more than just a constant companion. It lets her carry her Star Child with her every day. Nothing is as pure as the ashes of her child. While another mother holds her child by the hand, Carina carries her child on her chest. The gemstone Ruby plays a key role in Carina’s grieving process, helping her to recover from the loss of her Star Child and to look forward to what is still ahead. In a way, the gemstone brings a circle to a close for Carina, as Ruby is now back home again. Ruby passed away on her mother’s chest, and that is exactly where Mevisto’s gemstone Ruby is resting now. Ruby is thus with Carina every second of every day.
The grief management afforded to her by her Instagram channel and her Mevisto gemstone helps Carina recover from the loss of her child and look forward to the future.
The family heirloom
The Mevisto gemstone and the Pearl with Soul give new life not only to Ruby but to her entire family as well. The red ruby with its Wild Beauty cut lets Ruby glow with a uniquely beautiful shine on account of its individual shape. Daddy too carries his entire family with him all the time thanks to the "Pearl with Soul", he carries around his wrist on a leather bracelet. This is because the pearl and the gemstone hold not only ashes of little Ruby, but also strands of hair obtained from her mommy, her daddy and her older brother Finley. The latter is also the person who is supposed to inherit the gemstone many, many years from now. Since Finley experienced first hand the pain caused by the demise of his little sister, whom he had awaited so anxiously, a part of him is now inside the gemstone Ruby as well. He will always remember his family - even at a very old age, and he too will have them on his person all the time while he experiences the many episodes that make up his own life - and before they are all reunited again...
A small amount of ashes and a few hairs of the entire family were used to manufacture Ruby’s gemstone. Our manufactory in Austria applies this process to synthesize up to one thousand gemstones from ashes or hair each year. This production process makes it possible to manufacture personalized rubies and sapphires in less than 30 work days. For more detailed information on our processes, click here.
