Why Ruby is So Special
Ruby is an important player in the jewellery industry and is part of the “Big 3” of precious gems. This group includes sapphires (a relative of ruby since they are both of the mineral family corundum) and emeralds (mineral family beryl).
Ruby rates 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it a versatile stone that is durable and practical, perfect for frequent wear–diamond is rated a 10.
Why Choose a Ruby Engagement Ring?
Ruby is available in different sizes, cuts, and clarities, often included with growth characteristics on the internal and external parts of the stone.
Rubies are the designated birthstone for July. Rubies are said to symbolize love, romance, and happiness, making them the perfect gift to give to any loved one or incorporated into a bridal ring set.
Rubies are often complemented with diamonds or secured in a solitaire setting. Rubies are also utilized as side stones.
Taking care of your ruby ring
Ruby rings are easy to take care of at home. Cleaning your ruby jewellery with diluted soapy water, brushing off the debris with a cloth or soft toothbrush, running through clean water, patting dry, and air dry removes bacteria and debris.
