Ruby Rings

Rings Set With Ruby Gemstones

Jessica Simpson. Eva Longoria. Victoria Beckham. These are just a few celebrities who wanted a pop of color and a different look when it came to engagement rings. But probably the most well-known ruby ring is the one gifted to Elizabeth Taylor from Richard Burton. After he promised Ms. Taylor he'd find her the "most perfect ruby in the world," Mr. Burton finally discovered the ultimate gem at the French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. The finished ring featured an 8.24-carat center oval "pigeon blood" ruby in gold, surrounded by diamonds. (Many years later, the ring later garnered a record price for any ruby at an auction, selling for more than $4 million.)

True, we don't have Richard Burton offering to find us the most perfect rubies in the world, but that shouldn't stop us from treating ourselves to sumptuous ruby jewelry. Perfect for a July birthday gift or anytime gift, add eye-catching sparkle to your hand with a statement-making flower ring, complete with brilliant-cut diamonds surrounding pear-shaped ruby petals in white gold. A night out on the town calls for a pink sapphire and ruby diamond ring in white gold. All eyes will be on you and your cocktail ring when you enter the room!

Give Liz Taylor's ruby ring a run for its money when you propose with a regal ruby framed in round brilliant-cut diamonds, set on a richly polished band of platinum and square-cut diamonds. Looking for something absolutely unique? Try a stunning oval ruby cabochon set on a dazzling band adorned with diamonds in rhodium. Dazzle on!
