Ruby, a variety of the mineral corundum (like sapphire), is an extremely durable gemstone, measuring 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Diamond is the only gem harder than this mineral. Rubies make great center stones in alternative engagement rings for this reason (aside from the fact that they’re totally gorgeous!). Rubies are “included” stones, meaning that many have internal marks visible to the eye. The clearer the stone is (like glass), and the brighter the color, the better the quality is and the more expensive the stone will be.

A ruby’s red color makes it a symbol of love, passion, health, and protection. Jewelry designer Roberto Coin sets a small ruby hidden on the interior of each one of their pieces, because according to an ancient belief, “...wearing a ruby close to the skin promoted long life, health and happiness and even today it is believed to possess these magic powers including the extraordinary ability of giving peace.” – Roberto Coin
