More than a century ago in Britain, August was Coronation Month. King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra were crowned in a delayed ceremony at Westminster Abbey, an event that was in many ways a pinnacle of the glamorous Edwardian era.

Let’s wrap up July with one more look at the month’s blazing crimson birthstone, the romantic ruby. Specifically, I’ve got a look today at the rubies worn by Queen Camilla, who celebrated her birthday earlier this month, including royal pieces, personal jewels, and rubies we have yet to see her wear in public.
