What exactly is a ruby?
Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, which is in the same family as sapphire .
It’s of the hardest minerals on Earth, which makes it great to be set in diamond rings.
Its hardness is 2nd only to Diamond with a mohs number of 9. Pure corundum is colorless; aluminum oxide and Chrome give ruby its color.
Unfortunately, Chrome which gives Ruby its color also caused it to have many cracks in it as it was being formed in the earths crust. Due to this, most Rubies mined world wide have cracks & inclusions in them.
Rubies over 3 carats that have no inclusions are quite rare and so fetch very high prices at auctions. Due to this fact, it has been considered as one of the most precious gemstones in the world.

The marriage between diamond and ruby is perfect.
The fire in well cut diamonds complements the deep blood red color of the ruby and gives rings that are truly amazing.
Ruby & diamond rings not only look good, they will also scratch less and can be worn daily due to the hardness of the two stones.
They can be set in both gold or platinum to show off the color contrast to full effect.

So how truly passionate are you? Get the woman in your life a ruby & diamond ring and give her a gift that will bring passion to her mind every time she looks at it.
