Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for ruby engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Ruby blazes with a fiery passion. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by David West, Jessica Behzad, Danielle Meshorer, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean ruby engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality ruby engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Known as the gem of courage and passion, a ruby is not for the timid. Its bold hue entices the eye and hastens the pulse. When buying a ruby, the most important element to consider is color. Pure, vivid fire-engine-red rubies are the most valuable. Cut and clarity also factor into value. The larger the carat weight, the more the ruby will cost per carat. Gemvara only sells premium, hand-selected rubies from Burma, where they are natural and have an exceptional quality. Gemvara supports the Burma import ban and offers only rubies from inventories in the United States. A fine-colored ruby is so desirable that producers take extra care to make sure that the ruby has the best hue possible. Before their final polish, most rubies are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Ruby is the July birthstone, the 15th and 40th anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for the sign of Cancer. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality ruby will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine ruby jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
