Perhaps one of the most popular gems of all times is the Ruby.  Rubies are mostly associated with love and passion; this is due to its vibrant red color.  This is the birthstone of those who are born in the month of July.  The name originated from the Latin term ‘Ruber’ which means red.  For some time, it was said that Rubies originated from India and it is from this country where Ruby got its nickname “king of the gemstones”.  It may be a king but when you make it into a ring, it is a present fit for a queen, well, the queen of your life maybe.

Due to its color, rubies would normally look good with any setting.  It gives a good contrast to both yellow and white gold and it looks perfect for any titanium setting.  When looking for ruby rings, the choice is endless.  Because rubies carry a bold red color, it gives live to any type of ring setting; it goes well with other gems like diamonds and emeralds.

I remember seeing an eternity ring of emeralds and rubies one time and it took my breath away.  This gem can also be measured by the Four C’s – cut, clarity, carat and color.  You may think, its red, how many colors of red would there be?  For rubies, there is a variety of the color red; it would have to do with the origin of the gem.  The shade for the ruby would differ as well; you always have to go for the bright, pure red color.  Some rubies would have a tint of pink, it may be too light or too dark and these colors would mean a lower quality of the gem.

Ruby rings are a perfect gift for almost any occasion, a lot of people would normally associate this particular gift for women but there are designs made especially for men.  The bold color serves as a good base of design for rings for both men and women.  If you go to websites that specialize in selling ruby rings, you will see rings designed for men and women.  You can also check on the different options by filtering your choice by price that is if you are following a strict budget.  With this particular gem, you can never go wrong; it is not called the king of the gemstones for nothing.
