Ruby Engagement Rings Guide
Ruby engagement rings are bold, romantic, and surprisingly durable. Here is how to buy one with confidence.
Why a Ruby?
Ruby is red corundum — the same mineral family as sapphire, so it rates 9 on the Mohs scale. A ruby center stone signals passion and individuality. Fine "pigeon's blood" red rubies from Burma are among the most expensive colored gems in the world, while Thai and African stones offer great value.
Treatments to Know
Nearly all rubies are heat-treated to improve color and clarity — this is accepted and stable. Glass-filled rubies are cheap and should be avoided for an engagement ring. Always ask for a disclosure. Browse our engagement rings or message us on WhatsApp.
