Ruby Engagement Rings

What's the appeal of a ruby engagement ring?

Rubies have been prized for thousands of years for their intense red hue, which ranges from bright crimson to blood red and deep cherry. The colour red symbolises love and passion, so these gemstones are a striking way to express affection and lasting commitment. Ruby is also the birthstone for July, making a ruby engagement ring an extra-special option for those with a summer birthday.

What ruby diamond engagement ring settings are available?

An engagement ring setting is how the gemstones are presented on the band. We have dozens of options in our collection to ensure you find a ruby and diamond engagement ring you adore.

Low-profile settings, where the stones sit close to the band, might require a shaped wedding ring for a flush fit. Get in touch if you need advice on choosing your setting and our experts will provide personalised guidance.

• Solitaire: Simple and classic, a solitaire ruby engagement ring features one standalone stone, letting the ruby's fiery light speak for itself.
• Halo: Ruby halo engagement rings surround the central stone with a circle of small, sparkling diamonds, enhancing the overall brightness.
• Trilogy: Representing past, present and future, trilogy rings are one of the most popular engagement ring styles.
• Side stone: Diamonds decorate the band of side stone engagement rings, so they shimmer with every movement.
• Vintage: From geometric Art Deco rings to intricate cluster designs, vintage-style engagement rings balance an old-world look with unsurpassed modern craftsmanship.

Which metal suits a ruby diamond engagement ring?

Rubies look beautiful against all the precious metals in our collection, so the metal you choose for your band depends on personal preferences. Emphasise the stone's rosy glow with a warm gold, available in a choice of purities from 9k to 18k or contrast it with the coolness of a silver-coloured metal. Either way, a ruby diamond engagement ring is a bold and beautiful statement piece.

• Yellow gold has a rich, warm glow that intensifies the fire of rubies.
• White gold brings out the brilliance of gemstones with its bright shine.
• Rose gold, with its soft blush tone, creates visual harmony with rubies.
• Platinum is known for its bright-white lustre, which enhances overall radiance.
• Mixed metal bands create contrast for a chic, contemporary look.
