Details
An open band lifts on both sides toward a round red ruby that sits proud at the crest, a clean right-hand ring meant to be worn for its own sake. Nothing here says proposal. The center spans 0.7 to 2.75 carat, lab-created or natural ruby, both real corundum with the same rich red. Because ruby is a 9 on the Mohs scale it is genuinely tough enough for every day, unlike softer colored stones. A natural ruby is heat-treated as a matter of course to bring out its color, while a lab ruby is grown for a cleaner face at a friendlier price. Pick your metal, carat, and stone type, and every ring is finished to your size.
Shown complete with a real Round red ruby center from 0.7 to 2.75 carat, your choice of a lab-created or natural red ruby, from $2,439 all-in. The price is the finished ring: setting, the ruby center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Ruby is corundum at 9 on the Mohs scale, the same hardness as sapphire and second only to diamond, so it wears well every day. Virtually all natural ruby is heat-treated to improve its red color, a standard and permanent practice; a lab-created ruby is true corundum grown clean and priced lower. We never sell lead-glass-filled or composite ruby. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report. Want a certified natural ruby or a larger stone?

Questions
What is at the center? A real Round red ruby, offered as lab-created or natural, from 0.7 to 2.75 carat. Choose the carat, stone type and metal on this page.
Is this an engagement ring or a fashion ring? This is a fashion ring, made for the right hand, a stack or a self-purchase rather than a proposal. Wear it however you like.
Lab-created or natural, what is the difference? Both are true ruby, the red variety of corundum, with the same chemistry, hardness and color. A lab-created ruby is grown in a controlled environment, so it tends to look cleaner and costs less; a natural ruby is earth-mined, one of a kind, and almost always heat-treated to bring out its color. We price each honestly.
How durable is a ruby ring? Ruby rates 9 on the Mohs scale, the same as sapphire and just below diamond, so it is one of the toughest colored stones you can wear daily. It needs far less protection than a softer gem such as emerald.
Do you sell glass-filled ruby? No. Every natural ruby here is a genuine, solid corundum stone that is heat-treated or untreated, never lead-glass-filled or composite. We screen for this before a stone is listed.
Does it come with a certificate? These calibrated rubies ship without an individual lab report. We hand-check every one for even red color and a clean face, and can source a certified natural ruby on request.
Is the price all-in? Yes. The price is the complete ring with the ruby you select, set and sized to order.
