How To Choose The Best Ruby Rings   by Saff Sam

Rings that once denoted the class of the wearer in medieval times have evolved into bold fashion statements today. They have always had a purpose attached to them, be it is a ceremony in the family, a celebration of victory or when it's the time to make someone your own for life.

The variety and designs of rings mushroomed with the onset of coloured gemstones. Each gemstone dictates a class and is characterised by its own unique range of jewellery. The unique taste of each of the gemstones comes from the shade, tint and nature of the gemstone.

Ruby rings define a separate class of rings. It seems that the ruby demonstrates different intensities of passion with the various shades of red it displays. The style and architecture are not as important as the colour, in judging a ruby. Rubies can be worn in any environment or in any fashion, as a solitaire or as a cluster of stones. Another major advantage as far as rubies are concerned is that there is no characteristic cut or shape associated specifically to rubies. Rubies can have simple shapes, such as pear, round, oval and marquise. They can also be cut into very contemporary shapes, such as the heart, the emerald and the princess. But it is very important that the artist takes care to give a cut that complements the colour of the ruby.

Yellow tends to complement gold a lot. This is one big reason why yellow gold has been the metal in which rubies have been studded and worn for years. The yellow colour of the metal enhances the whole appeal of the gemstone and makes it look more subtle. Moreover, if the solitaire is simple and graceful, the yellow brings out the best in it. A yellow gold ring with ruby in the centre and diamonds on shanks can give a traditional look to the ring. On the other hand, a ruby surrounded by diamonds gives it a very contemporary look too.

Today, however, rubies are not limited to yellow gold alone. Though, we cannot take away the fact that yellow gold accentuates the colour of the ruby, modern day designs using diamonds and white gold make it look even more glamorous. Ruby studded eternity bands, which are very popular, look as stunning in white as in yellow gold. A contemporary yet sensational design is a pear shaped ruby in white gold with just a pinch of diamond.

It is up to the individual, whether they prefer ruby, sapphire or diamond but people for whom jewellery is a form of expression, will like to believe that ruby brings out the passion and whole heartedness of the wearer.
