The price of a ruby and white gold engagement ring varies according to the size and quality of the ruby, as well as the complexity of the setting. Our creations in 18k white gold start from a few hundred pounds for a delicate solitaire design, and can reach several thousand pounds for pieces adorned with diamonds or exceptionally fine rubies. Each ring is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity upon request.
Ruby symbolises passion and ardent love, offering a bold and personal alternative to the traditional diamond. Paired with 18k white gold, the deep red of the ruby is enhanced by the luminous brilliance of the rhodium-plated metal. With a hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, ruby is perfectly suited to everyday wear and will stand the test of time.
Absolutely. Our ruby and white gold engagement rings can be adorned with diamonds to your preference: pavé-set for maximum brilliance, halo-set to frame the central ruby, or as a trilogy to symbolise past, present and future. This ruby-and-diamond combination creates a striking contrast between intense red and white brilliance. Contact us for a bespoke creation.
Mayuri offers several styles for your ruby and white gold engagement ring:
Every style can be personalised to your wishes.
To keep the surprise, try borrowing a ring she already wears on her left ring finger and bring it to a jeweller for sizing. You can also use our free printable ring sizer available on mayuri.fr. Another tip: enlist the help of a trusted friend or family member. If in doubt, choose a slightly larger size: we offer a complimentary adjustment after the proposal.
Our ruby and white gold engagement rings are set with natural AAA-quality rubies, primarily sourced from Thailand. Most are heat-treated to enhance their colour and brilliance, a standard practice in fine jewellery that brings out the stone's natural qualities. Untreated natural rubies, which are considerably rarer and more valuable, can be sourced upon request, as can Burmese or Mozambican rubies.

Mayuri is committed to responsible fine jewellery. Our 18k white gold comes from ethical supply chains, with over 80% recycled metals. Our natural rubies are sourced from suppliers selected for their traceability, primarily in Thailand. We work with artisanal workshops and those RJC-certified. Choosing a Mayuri ruby and white gold engagement ring means combining beauty, quality, and environmental conscience.
Our rubies are natural, chosen for the intensity of their red rather than for perfect transparency. In vermeil, ruby reveals itself as rosé; in solid 18-carat gold, it takes on its classic deep red.
From delicate rosé to deep red, we choose each ruby for the beauty of its colour, then set it to last.
A stone you chose, a setting imagined for her. A creation that will belong to you alone.
Our bespoke service accompanies engagements, heirloom pieces and reinterpretation commissions. We work from a stone sourced for you, or from a stone you already own. Response within 48 hours, piece delivered within four to six weeks.
Les questions qu'on nous pose le plus souvent sur les ruby white gold engagement rings : matières, entretien, symbolique et conseils en style.
The ruby symbolises passionate love, desire and courage, making it a bold and deeply romantic choice for a marriage proposal. Paired with white gold, the ruby embodies a modern yet timeless commitment, perfect for couples who wish to express the intensity of their love. This rare and elegant combination conveys sincere, passionate devotion, far removed from conventional tradition.
Absolutely. Ruby belongs to the corundum family and scores 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. This exceptional hardness makes it an ideal stone for a daily-wear engagement ring. The AAA-quality rubies selected by Mayuri are particularly resilient, retaining their vivid brilliance even after years of everyday wear.
Rhodium-plated white gold offers a spectacular luminous contrast that intensifies the deep red of the ruby. This pairing creates a sophisticated, contemporary visual effect, where the neutral white metal enhances the stone's vibrant colour without overpowering it. 18k white gold also provides exceptional durability and a modern aesthetic that is especially prized in engagement ring design.
A quality ruby is distinguished by its intense, uniform red colour, ideally a pigeon's-blood red with subtle purple undertones. Look for clarity and the absence of inclusions visible to the naked eye. At Mayuri, all our rubies are AAA quality, rigorously selected for their exceptional colour, purity and expert cut, which maximises the stone's natural brilliance.
Rubies are sourced from several regions across the world, each offering distinct characteristics. Burma (Myanmar) is historically celebrated for its pigeon's-blood rubies, whilst Mozambique and Madagascar also produce stones of exceptional quality. Mayuri's rubies are sourced primarily from Thailand, renowned for its deep, richly coloured gems. We can source Burmese rubies or stones from other prestigious origins upon request for your bespoke engagement ring.
Heat treatment is a standard and widely recognised practice in fine jewellery, involving the careful heating of a ruby to enhance its colour and improve clarity. This process elevates the visual quality of the stone and ensures a lasting, vivid red. Untreated natural rubies are considerably rarer and significantly more expensive. Mayuri can source untreated natural rubies upon request for clients seeking this exceptional rarity in their engagement ring.
Several styles complement ruby in white gold particularly beautifully:
Combining ruby and diamond in white gold is one of the most elegant and sought-after pairings in fine jewellery. Diamonds bring a dazzling brilliance that contrasts beautifully with the deep red of the ruby, creating a spectacular interplay of light. This combination can take many forms: a ruby centre stone surrounded by a diamond halo, a diamond pavé band, or a trilogy alternating rubies and diamonds. Mayuri offers bespoke creations incorporating this prestigious pairing.
Ruby is perfectly suited to vintage and Art Deco styles, periods during which this stone was particularly prized for engagement rings. The geometric settings characteristic of Art Deco beautifully showcase the ruby's intense red, whilst white gold adds a contemporary edge to these period-inspired designs. Mayuri can create rings drawing on these glamorous eras, featuring intricate detailing, clean lines and refined settings typical of the 1920s and 1930s.
The ideal size depends on your personal aesthetic preferences and budget. For an engagement ring, rubies of 0.5 to 2 carats offer a perfect balance between presence and refined elegance. Larger stones (2 to 4 carats) create a spectacular visual impact, ideal for a bold declaration of love. Bear in mind that quality takes precedence over size: a 1-carat AAA ruby will be more precious and radiant than a larger stone of lesser quality.
Rhodium plating is a protective rhodium coating applied to 18k white gold, giving it its bright, luminous white finish. This treatment shields the metal from oxidation and everyday scratches, ensuring a striking contrast with the red ruby. Over time and with regular wear, the plating may gradually fade. Re-plating at our atelier every two to three years restores your engagement ring to its original brilliance, a service offered by Mayuri to preserve the beauty of your jewellery.
Ruby is the birthstone for the month of July, lending a particularly personal touch if you or your partner were born in that month. Beyond this symbolism, a ruby and white gold engagement ring is a magnificent choice for a passionate marriage proposal, as well as a wedding anniversary gift (notably for a ruby anniversary, marking 40 years of marriage) or to celebrate any significant milestone in your love story. The intensity of the ruby expresses a deep and timeless commitment, whatever the occasion.
