Choice of Rubies
A valuable ruby is much more expensive as compared to a good quality diamond. Rubies are known as the ring of kings, a precious and alluring stone that has been revered through the ages.
The quality of the ruby engagement rings can be known by the color and size of the stone. A good quality ruby is of intense red color and is neither too dark like a garnet or too light with a pink color.
Carat Size of Rubies
Large and high quality rubies are considered to be the rarest stones of all the gems that are there. Since large rubies are so difficult to obtain their value is significantly higher as compared to other gem engagement rings. Carat weight plays a huge part in appointing a value to a particular ruby.
Cut or Shape of Rubies
The cut and shape of rubies in engagement rings is a very big indicator of the value of the stones. Cushion cuts and oval shapes are the most popular ruby cut. However, other cuts are also very much famous like the emerald and heart shapes for wedding engagement rings. Star ruby cut is also a very much sort after cut for rubies.
