Despite a diamond being the traditional stone thought of when one brings up an engagement ring, there are actually many different types of engagement rings featuring a variety of stones. When you’re picking out a ring, it’s very important to think of the nature of the special someone who will be wearing it for years to come. Perhaps, they have a vibrant personality that a diamond is too bland to showcase.

Perhaps, they prefer other more colorful stones with different meanings behind them. Perhaps, they just want a more statement-making ring. Whatever the case, we suggest that you consider ruby engagement rings while looking around for your perfect pick. Here are the reasons why we believe this stone may be the best choice to grace your engagement ring with. 

They Add More Personality to Your Look 

As mentioned, while diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, they are also old news. Most people have diamond engagement rings and have since the dawn of time. So, we’re a bit over them. They’ve had their turn in the spotlight, so it’s time for them to make way for a more exciting stone that showcases your unique personality. Rubies, on the other hand, showcase a deep, passionate red color that adds a huge note to your personality. It most definitely makes a statement. The color red symbolizes life, vitality, vigor, love, and passion, leaving the biggest common thread throughout its meaning to be passion. Wearing a ruby engagement ring shows others that you are passionate, speaking volumes about your personality. It also tells people that you are bold and willing to create your own exciting trends. It’s a small, subtle way to deliver a powerful message. 

Rubies Symbolize Beauty, Wisdom, Power, and Protection

Rubies have been one of the most sought-after stones throughout history, mentioned in countless historical and religious texts. The earliest civilizations believed that rubies symbolized beauty and wisdom. Those who would wear a ruby were thought of to hold many secrets, making them interesting and mysterious. During medieval times, nobles were caught wearing rubies frequently, making it a symbol of wealth and power. Throughout the legends of time, these stones were also rumored to protect the wearer from dark forces, so it’s also thought of as a good luck charm against any ill will or bad luck. 

Rubies Go with Any Look 

Lastly, we can’t forget one of the most important reasons for wearing a ruby- they’re super fashionable as they go with any look. While some colors can be off-putting or clash against others, red is known to go with any other color, making it the perfect choice to add an accent to your looks. Wearing a ruby on your finger is the perfect subtle way to spice up all of your daily looks and show others that you know your fashion. 

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re in the market for an engagement ring, then look no further than one adorned with rubies. 

If you’ve already given your beloved an engagement ring years back and are looking for something special to surprise them with, think about gifting a ruby engagement ring for your 40th wedding anniversary, as that’s the traditional stone to celebrate this occasion, commonly called the “Ruby Jubilee”, with. 

All in all, rubies add personality to your looks and show people that you know and understand fashion. They help you stand out from the crowd and convey a message. With a symbology of power, beauty, and wisdom, too, you’ve just hit the trifecta of important traits.
