Rubies for red wedding rings and engagement rings

Red rubies are the preferred choice of many ladies for their engagement rings and wedding rings today.

Red rubies are stunning, so it’s not surprising that they’re popular, though there’s a highly practical reason for choosing a red ruby for your rings.

Red rubies are particularly well suited to engagement and wedding rings.

Red rubies are durable enough to stand up to the everyday wear that wedding and engagement rings receive.

Rubies are a very hard gemstone. Rubies (like sapphires), have a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs scale. (The Mohs scale is the scale used to measure the hardness of gemstones).

Of all the gemstones and all the natural substances in the world, rubies and sapphires are the second hardest substance, second only to diamonds!

This special hardness property of rubies makes them especially suited to jewelry, especially for everyday wear, making them a fantastic choice for wedding rings and engagement rings!

From a design and appeal point of view, the red color of rubies makes a wonderful alternative to the traditional white diamond ring.

A combination of rubies and diamonds is a desirable option. The red of rubies looks fantastic with the white color of diamonds. The contrasting red and white gemstones are especially enhanced by white gold settings.

Of all of the alternate gemstones for engagement and wedding rings, rubies and sapphires are the number one choice!
