Ruby and diamond engagement rings in 18ct rose gold, handmade to order by our family workshop in the Cotswolds, with a ruby centre stone framed by white diamonds. Ruby is the red variety of corundum. 18ct rose gold has a soft, romantic pink colour that flatters every skin tone and gives a classic design a modern feel.
About ruby
Ruby is the red variety of corundum. At 9 on the hardness scale, second only to diamond, it is tough enough for everyday wear, and its deep red is the colour of love and passion. In these rings it is set with white diamonds, which make its colour look even richer.
Why 18ct rose gold?
18ct rose gold is 75% pure gold, warmed to a soft pink by a little copper in the alloy. It is not plated, so the colour never wears off, and it is slightly harder than yellow gold. Some of our rose gold designs set the diamond in a white platinum head for the whitest look, with the pink band around it. For a lower price, see our 9ct rose gold engagement rings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ruby is the red variety of corundum. At 9 on the hardness scale, second only to diamond, it is tough enough for everyday wear, and its deep red is the colour of love and passion.
No. The colour comes from the copper in the alloy, all the way through the metal, so there is no plating to wear off. If anything, rose gold warms slightly with age.
