Ruby Engagement Rings
Rubies are very rare gemstones that come in a red color that varies from light pink to a dark blood red. Rubies are actually the composed of the mineral called corundum and get their red color from an element in the stone called chromium. Because of the rarity of natural rubies there are many rubies on the market that have been manufactured synthetically, which can be done fairly cheaply. The price of a ruby is generally determined by the color of the ruby. The brightest and best red ruby is called the Pigeon Blood Red and can fetch a great price over the other rubies of similar quality. After the quality of color, the clarity of the ruby is what's considered next. Like diamonds, a clear ruby will fetch a good price but a ruby without any needle-like rutile inclusions will show that the ruby has been treated one way or another, lessening the value.
Because of the rarity of natural rubies, a ruby engagement ring with a natural stone in it is going to be highly coveted and valuable. You can find rub engagement rings with synthetically produced rubies at most jewelry stores at an affordable price. Because of their vibrant red color, rubies are often put together with other precious stones and set into engagement rings.
