Historically,
rubies are said to be one of the most significant colored
gemstones, which made them much popular amongst the European royalty.
Rubies come in many distinct hues of red and are
cut in all distinct ways, each
shape being more distinctive than the other. The rarest
ruby deposits are found in marble, and they are intense red-colored.
The
gemstone was thought to bring love, health, peace, and wisdom to those who wear them, in one way or the other. Obviously,
ruby engagement rings can also feature
diamonds for an added appeal.
If you are looking for
vintage ruby diamond rings, then the
three-stone setting is
certainly one worth considering. Jewelry makers and designers use this popular and
traditional engagement ring setting in two different ways. In some
ruby and
diamond rings,
ruby is the
center stone while the
diamonds have
side stones. On the other hand, there are
ruby and
diamond rings where the
diamond is the centerpiece
gem and
rubies are used as
side stones.
