What can be the most perfect gem for an engagement ring but one that symbolizes love and passion?  The ruby has been long associated with love due to its red vibrant color.  The Hindus refer to this gem as the king of gemstones; this is due to the color that it has as well as the monetary value that it has.  Rubies are among the most expensive gems around.

Same as with other gems, a ruby is also measured by the four C’s – cut, clarity, color and carat.  For a ruby engagement ring, the four c’s would only be one of the areas for consideration there are other things that you would need to check on, after all, you are looking for the perfect ring to be given to the future queen of your life.

Ruby engagement rings are set in different metals.  You can find good settings in white gold, titanium and yellow gold.  Any of these metals would normally set off the good color of the ruby; the ruby’s color is well suited for all three metals.  I once saw a ruby set in a combination of yellow and white gold, it was simply enchanting!

When going for engagement rings, you can go with other options other than the usual solitaire setting.  With rubies, it would work well when surrounded by smaller cut diamonds.  You can choose on different cuts – princess, round, pear, emerald.  The most famous would always be the round cut.  Since the color of the ruby would attract attention by itself, it is advisable to go for the simplest cut.

For some when they buy an engagement ring, they would also look for the wedding ring that would go with it.  Having a ruby engagement ring would call for a good wedding ring set.  You would not want to have two rings in complete contrast with one another, after all, these two rings are meant to stay together for a long time.  The ideal choice would be to look for a ruby engagement ring which will have the same band as the wedding ring.

Concentrate on the base or the setting and then you will be able to find a good pair for sure.  Some websites would carry good offers for a set of engagement rings and wedding rings; after all, the purpose of proposing is to get married sometime soon, right?
