Ruby Wedding Rings

Ruby rings are red! Yes, everyone knows that, but this makes choosing a ruby engagement ring or wedding ring a little trickier because they are often much bolder than a diamond or gold ring wedding set. For many brides and grooms, the solution to satisfying their yen for red without overdoing it with blood red carats that drip from their newly married fingers, is to go with a more subtle ruby eternity ring.

Less Flashy Ruby Rings

When choosing an eternity ring, the band can be thick or thin or wide or narrow and can be made of gold or platinum or titanium or any other metal of your choice. The secret is choosing the rubies that will best accent your hands without being too flashy.

Thin emerald-cut rubies can be inserted into grooves all around the ruby eternity ring or a series of rubies may be pressure or tension set into a titanium ring, or the traditional eternity ring can be embellished with gemstones around the circumference of the band. There is a unique antique ruby ring style that uses only a few stones evenly spaced and others that incorporate emeralds and diamonds.

There are some simple twists of the Edwardian ruby rings that have a ruby and a pearl or a ruby and a sapphire. Actually it is very common for rubies and sapphires to be mixed because they are essentially the same stone only in different colors.

Blood Red or Pink

Since ruby rings come in a variety of hues, from brownish reds to almost transparent pink, you could create a custom ruby eternity ring that will later go with your wardrobe style. Although most rubies are heat treated you may be able to find a ruby with the pigeons-blood red that has not been treated and use them in an eternity ring design of your choice. These blood red rubies are usually very expensive, but for a ruby wedding ring it may be well worth the price.
