Gorgeous Ruby Wedding Rings
Add romance to your relationship – propose to your beloved with a ruby ring, as these hues are traditionally considered the color of passion and desire.
Ruby is a precious gemstone with a raspberry hue that comes in various shades – from light pink to blood red. Incidentally, in the USA, pink rubies are considered pink sapphires. Many celebrities have chosen ruby rings, including Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, and Eva Longoria.
Ruby History
Ruby gets its name from the Latin word for red. It is considered one of the cardinal gemstones, meaning it ranks higher in status than all other precious stones. It stands alongside amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. Throughout history, there have been many different cultural beliefs associated with the magical power of this magnificent stone. Due to its bright hue, ruby is associated with the sun, and many believe this stone grants life force. An interesting fact for newlyweds: rubies also possess heightened sexual and love energy.
Are Rubies Good for Wedding Ring Decoration?
Yes! Rubies score 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. This means rubies are almost as hard as diamonds. They are stronger and more durable than other popular stones like emerald and aquamarine. So if you’re looking for an engagement ring with a non-traditional center stone that can be worn daily without worrying about cracks or chips, a ruby ring is an excellent choice. This accessory can be compared in durability to a diamond wedding ring. One tip: ruby rings should be taken to a jeweler for thorough cleaning at least once a year, and the prongs may also loosen over time.
Price
Ruby is also one of the most expensive stones, sometimes costing more than a diamond of similar size, and is very rare. However, when it comes to ruby engagement rings, ruby is a more budget-friendly option than diamond: the average ruby costs from $2,500 to $10,000 per carat.
