Why We Love Rubies

Rubies are a stunning and meaningful choice for a ring, symbolizing passion, love, and good fortune. They are also durable and second only to diamonds in hardness, making them practical for daily wear.

The King Of Gemstones

Rubies have been called the "king of gemstones" for centuries. Their vivid red color, exceptional durability, and rarity make them one of the most valuable colored gemstones in the world. Fine rubies can command higher prices per carat than diamonds of similar size.

Why Choose Rubies?

Exceptional Durability

Rubies rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale—second only to diamonds at 10. This makes them perfect for engagement rings and everyday jewelry that will last generations.

Vivid Red Color

The finest rubies display a pure, vivid red to slightly purplish-red color known as "pigeon's blood." This intense color is unmatched by any other gemstone.

Symbolic Meaning

Rubies symbolize passion, love, courage, and good fortune. They're the birthstone for July and the traditional gift for 40th wedding anniversaries.

Rarity & Value

Fine rubies are rarer than diamonds. Large rubies over 5 carats with excellent color and clarity are exceptionally rare and valuable.
