What Is a Ruby?
Rubies come from a mineral called corundum. This is actually the same mineral responsible for creating sapphires, but the red variety is created by chromium. All rubies have a tint of red to them, but they can be tinted with orange, purple, or pink. Rubies are a 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them one of the hardest substances in the world, only behind diamonds. This makes them durable, meaning they are great for everyday wear, such as in a ruby diamond engagement ring.
Ruby Engagement Rings Meaning & Symbolism
Rubies have always symbolized love, romance, devotion, wealth, and success. More specifically, ruby engagement rings are believed to ignite passion and nurture love within a marriage, making them an exceptional choice for the symbol of your everlasting love.
How to Choose the Right Ruby Engagement Ring
When choosing the best ruby engagement ring, you have to start with personal preferences. Once you’ve narrowed down a few styles and designs you like, you should take into account these tips.
- Focus on Color - The color of your particular ruby is one of the most important parts of your ring. Make sure it pairs well with your chosen metal and that you look at it in different lights to determine how you feel about it.
- See It in Person - Make sure you see the ring in its entirety in person before you purchase it. Quality will vary with different jewelers, and photos can be misleading, so make sure you make an appointment to view the ring yourself.
- Balance the 4Cs - While the 4Cs are traditionally applied to diamonds, they matter when selecting a ruby, too. Most jewelers agree that there are next to no “perfect” rubies, so pick the aspects that matter most and select a stone and setting that appeals to you.
How to Care for Ruby Engagement Rings
Even though they are one of the hardest and most durable stones, rubies still need to be cared for and cleaned regularly to maintain their luster. To start, soak your ruby diamond rings in warm, soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then scrub it gently with a soft bristle brush. Rinse the ring, being careful to hold onto it tightly, and then dry it with a lint-free cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals on the ring, including lotions, perfumes, or other cosmetics, and always remove it while exercising, gardening, playing sports, or cleaning. It’s also important to get regular inspections on your ruby wedding ring to ensure all the stones are secure and nothing is damaged.
