Ruby Engagement Rings

Many would initially argue that the diamond should be the gem for engagement rings, and considering all aesthetic arguments between diamonds and rubies to be moot, the diamonds enduring durability (ranking a 10 on Mohs scale of hardness) is the perfect symbol for everlasting love.This becomes a moot point as well when one learns that the ruby is the second hardest substance on earth (ranking 9 on Mohs scale of hardness) and that ruby engagement rings, therefore, are as capable as diamonds in showing the timelessness of passion and commitment.According to ancient Sanskrit texts, the ruby was called “ratnaraj” or“the king of precious stones”.If this is not pedigree enough for ruby engagement rings, than little else will be.

The finest of rubies tend to come out of Myanmar, or as it was formerly known, Burma, and are also found throughout Southeast Asia, Asia and Africa.They are formed from corundum minerals that have had some of their aluminum atoms substituted by chromium, thus giving it its red color.Other colors can arise, such as blue and yellow, but all but the red are known as sapphires.It may be useful to know that the ruby is the birthstone of July and also the stone for the Zodiac sign of Cancer, which could prove to make ruby engagement rings the ideal choice for a ceremony, birthday or proposal around July.
