Loving, doubting, only finds her rest
With a ruby glowing on her breast.
(Tiffany & Co., 1892)

The glowing ruby shall adorn
Those who in July are born;
Then they’ll be exempt and free
From love’s doubts and anxiety.
(Tiffany & Co., 1892)

The heav’n blue turquoise should adorn
All those who in July are born;
For thus they’ll be exempt and free
From love’s doubts and anxiety.
(Tiffany & Co., 1909)

No other gem than turquoise on her breast
Can to the loving, doubting heart bring rest.
(Tiffany & Co., 1909)
