About ruby engagement rings
Rubies are one of the most historically significant coloured gemstones and retain a regal quality for their popularity amongst European royalty. A ruby engagement ring is striking and seductive, thought to bring health, love, peace and wisdom to their wearer. With a variety of shades and cuts available, each ruby engagement ring is rare and unique, making them just as wedding-worthy as a diamond, emerald, or sapphire.
Why choose a ruby engagement ring?
Perhaps considered a unique alternative to a diamond engagement ring, rubies are the perfect gemstone for a bold and beautiful bride. The gem originates from several places such as Burma, India, Afghanistan, Australia, and many legends tell how the ruby was not a gemstone, but instead a hardened fire that could set hearts aflame.
The ruby is also one of the few gemstones that can achieve levels of vivid saturation and ranks a 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of durability. Their hardness prevents rubies from breaking or cracking, whilst also resisting damage from heat, chemicals and light. For this reason, you can rest assured your ruby engagement ring will last a very long time.
Rubies are highly celebrated and coveted for their perfect symbolism. The colour red is synonymous with strong, undying passion and love, and they pair perfectly with all settings and colours, from white metals such as platinum and white gold, to yellow or rose gold. The possibilities are endless and whatever your preference, you are guaranteed a ring that radiates style and individuality.
