Ruby, known as the king of gemstones, is a trendy, luxurious, and precious gem. Like sapphire, ruby is also a variety of corundum, one of the hardest minerals on earth, rating a nine on the Mohs scale. From early times, rulers, kings, and queens have prized this gem. These blood-red stones are coveted more than any other gemstone for jewelry. Burma (Myanmar) has been the key source of the finest rubies.
Rubies range in color from bright cherry red to dark reddish-brown, obtaining their color from the trace element chromium. The most popular hue is intense cherry red with blue and purple undertones, known as Burmese and Pigeons' blood rubies, respectively. These are the most popular and also the most expensive.
Rubies have a beautiful luster and are exquisite with their depth of colors. Ruby rings, as seen in our "Forget Me Knot" design with its diamonds set in gold ropes, hold the gemstone in a luxurious platinum suspension. Earrings and bracelets in our “Croc” collection are a must-have in every woman's jewelry wardrobe to add ruby sparkle. An emerald-cut ruby engagement ring with rose gold makes a stunning custom piece of jewelry for any occasion.
