Название Драгоценностям и характеристику Рубинов как американского танца придумал Клайв Барнс. Баланчин возражал. Жаль, что в итоге это деление вошло в коллективное бессознательное. Это скорее было присвоение американцем Клайвом Барнсем европейской (скорее всего парижской) культуры, которая в партитуре Стравинского и хореографии Баланчина.
"Critic Clive Barnes suggested calling the collective ballets “The Jewels” (apparently this was Balanchine’s working title) in his New York Times review on April 17, which bore the headline, “Appraising Balanchine’s ‘Jewels.’” Barnes asserted, “[It] still has no title on the program, but it has to be called something,” and he used “The Jewels” as a surrogate throughout the review. In an interview two weeks after the premiere and also published in The New York Times, Balanchine wasn’t bothered by the lack of a title: “How do you name ballets anyway? I wanted to call it ‘Le Diamant,’ in French. ‘Diamond’ in English is no good. The ballet has nothing to do with jewels, the dancers are just dressed like jewels.” This sort of illusory statement was typical of Balanchine. When asked what Rubies was about, he reportedly answered, “It’s about twenty minutes.”
