Ruby and diamond engagement rings in 18ct white 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 white gold gives the bright white look of platinum for a little less, and suits a diamond in any colour grade.
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 white gold?
18ct white gold is 75% pure gold, alloyed with white metals and finished with rhodium plating for a bright, mirror-white shine. It costs less than platinum and is lighter on the finger. As the plating wears, usually over a year or two, a hint of warmth can show; a quick re-plate brings it back. Want to spend less again? See our 9ct white gold engagement rings.
