Ruby and sapphire are the same mineral, with color as the only distinguishing criterion. Red corundum is classified as ruby, and blue, pink, yellow, and all other gem-quality hues fall within the sapphire family.

Heritage & History
Ross-Simons has been a fine jewelry retailer since 1952. The person you're buying for might be the same age as the brand, or the same age as their grandmother when she first shopped here. Either way, generations of customers kept finding exactly what they were looking for. That's a reasonable thing to trust.
