Ruby Engagement Ring, Why Choose A Ruby Engagement Ring
Sunday, November 4th, 2007
A ruby engagement ring is one of the most popular engagement rings. There are a few important reasons that make the ruby gemstone very suitable for an engagement ring. The excellent red or pinkish-red tone of the gemstone has made it an adorable choice for ladies engagement rings. The excellent hardness of 9 (on the Mohs scale) makes ruby gemstones popular among men’s engagement rings too. Durability needs added attention for all men’s jewelry and a ruby engagement ring is a classic choice.
If you you are looking for a birthstone in your engagement ring, the ruby engagement ring would represent the birthstone for July and the zodiac sign Cancer. You can check your birthstone information at this link: http://www.kaisilver.com/birth-chart-stone.htm
Another very important factor is that, ruby engagement rings look awesome in white or yellow gold. The color red symbolizes love, passion and life. These qualities are required for every engagement or marriage to last long and work well. You could use diamonds to accent the ruby gemstone in your engagement ring, but the gemstone looks great left on it’s own too.
When you buy a ruby engagement ring, you should know that most rubies would have natural inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. This is very true of rubies that are of size 1 carat and higher. Very few eye clean rubies are today brought out of the mines. Beware of jewellers who use rubies that are treated with color glass fills. Such treatments might make your ruby look stunning in the beginning. But the life of the gemstone is drastically reduced when subjected to such color and clarity enhancing treatments.
Heat treatment is a normal and accepted treatment for rubies and sapphires. Choose a reputed jeweller to buy your ruby engagement ring. The ring like your personal relationship, should give you years and decades of long lasting pleasure.
