What is the price of a ruby yellow gold engagement ring at Mayuri?
The price of our ruby yellow gold engagement rings varies according to the size and quality of the ruby, as well as the complexity of the setting. Our 18k gold designs start from several hundred pounds for delicate styles, and can reach several thousand pounds for AAA quality rubies with a diamond surround. Every ring can be personalised to your budget and aesthetic preferences.
Why choose a ruby yellow gold engagement ring over a diamond?
A ruby and yellow gold engagement ring offers a passionate and distinctive alternative to the traditional diamond. Ruby, with its exceptional hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, is durable enough for everyday wear. It symbolises ardent love and passion, whilst yellow gold adds a timeless warmth. This combination creates a piece that is both striking and deeply meaningful, perfect for an unforgettable proposal.
Do you offer solitaire ruby yellow gold engagement rings?
Yes, our solitaire ruby yellow gold rings showcase the natural beauty of the central stone in all its splendour. The solitaire is a timeless style that enhances the brilliance of the ruby whilst offering pure, refined elegance. You can choose the size and shape of the ruby (oval, cushion, round) as well as the setting style to create a unique ring that reflects your love story.
Can I personalise my ruby yellow gold engagement ring with diamonds?
Absolutely. Our ruby yellow gold engagement rings can be complemented with diamonds to create truly dazzling compositions. We offer several personalisation options:
- Diamond halo around the central ruby
- Diamond pavé on the band
- Trilogy with central ruby and side diamonds
- Diamond-set shoulders
This ruby and diamond combination in yellow gold creates a striking contrast between the warmth of red and the brilliance of white.
Where do the rubies in your yellow gold engagement rings come from?
Our ruby yellow gold engagement rings are predominantly set with AAA quality natural rubies from Thailand. These stones are selected for their intense colour and exceptional clarity. On request, we can source rubies from celebrated origins such as Burma, Mozambique, or Madagascar, particularly for pigeon's blood quality stones or untreated natural rubies.
Are the rubies in your yellow gold rings treated?
The majority of our rubies are heat treated to enhance their colour and brilliance, a standard and widely accepted process in fine jewellery that reveals the stone's natural beauty. This treatment ensures a deep, lasting red colour. Untreated natural rubies are considerably rarer and represent a greater investment. Mayuri can source untreated rubies on request for discerning collectors.
Do you offer vintage or art deco style ruby yellow gold engagement rings?
Yes, we create bespoke vintage and art deco inspired ruby yellow gold engagement rings. These timeless styles are characterised by intricate engraving, geometric motifs, elaborate surrounds, and milgrain settings. The combination of ruby and yellow gold perfectly evokes the elegance of bygone eras whilst remaining thoroughly modern. Every piece can be tailored to reflect your unique and romantic vision.
How can I find out the ring size for a surprise proposal?
To ensure a perfect surprise, you can discreetly borrow a ring she wears on her left ring finger and have it measured by a jeweller, or download our free ring sizer PDF on mayuri.fr to measure it yourself. Our sizes range from 48 to 62. If you are uncertain between two sizes, opt for the larger: it is easier to reduce a ring than to enlarge it. We also offer a complimentary resizing service after purchase.
What are the delivery times for a ruby yellow gold engagement ring?
For our ruby yellow gold engagement rings held in stock, orders are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours, with delivery within a further 24 to 48 hours. For bespoke creations or specific personalisation (engraving, stone selection, particular setting), please allow 3 to 4 weeks. Your ring arrives in an elegant presentation box, ready for your proposal. For full details, please see our shipping & returns policy.
What payment options do you offer for engagement rings?
We understand that a ruby yellow gold engagement ring is a significant investment. That is why we offer a range of payment solutions:
- Pay in 3 interest-free instalments with Alma
- Pay in up to 10 instalments with Alma
- PayPal Pay in 4
- Credit or debit card, bank transfer, PayPal
- Cryptocurrency
These options allow you to acquire the ring of your dreams with complete peace of mind.
How do I care for my ruby yellow gold engagement ring on a daily basis?
Your ruby yellow gold engagement ring requires simple care to maintain its brilliance. Clean it regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, then dry gently. Avoid direct impacts despite ruby's exceptional hardness (9/10 Mohs). Remove your ring during sport or manual work. A professional polish in our workshop is available to restore the lustre of your 18k yellow gold whenever needed.
Can I return my ruby yellow gold engagement ring if it is not quite right?
Yes, Mayuri offers a 30-day returns policy on all engagement rings, including ruby yellow gold styles. Please note that as the UK is outside the EU, customs duties may apply on delivery. Returns are accepted provided the piece is unworn and in its original presentation box. This guarantee allows you to order with complete confidence. For bespoke or heavily personalised creations, please contact us for specific terms. Your satisfaction is our absolute priority. For full details, please see our shipping & returns policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the symbolic significance of a ruby yellow gold engagement ring?
The ruby symbolises passionate love, courage and vitality, making it a perfect choice to celebrate a deep commitment. Paired with yellow gold, a timeless metal evoking light and prosperity, it creates a harmony of warm tones that underscores the unique and ardent nature of your union. This combination was historically favoured by European royal courts to seal their most prestigious alliances.
Is a ruby durable enough for an engagement ring worn every day?
With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, the ruby is the second hardest gemstone after the diamond, making it an excellent choice for daily wear. Belonging to the corundum family, it resists scratches and impacts remarkably well, whilst retaining its brilliance over the years. A ruby yellow gold engagement ring will endure for decades without losing its splendour.
How do I recognise a quality ruby on a yellow gold ring?
A AAA-quality ruby displays an intense, uniform red colour, ideally a deep red tending towards "pigeon's blood", with excellent clarity and very few inclusions visible to the naked eye. The stone should possess a beautiful vitreous lustre and reflect light evenly. At Mayuri, every ruby is selected to these strict criteria and can be accompanied by a gemmological certificate upon request.
Why is the combination of ruby and yellow gold so prized in fine jewellery?
18K yellow gold and ruby form a natural chromatic harmony in which warm tones enhance one another beautifully. The luminous yellow of the gold amplifies the red brilliance of the ruby, creating an elegant, timeless contrast that flatters every skin tone. This classic pairing transcends the decades without ever going out of style, from Art Deco creations to contemporary designs.
What shades of red are available for ruby engagement rings?
Natural rubies offer a palette ranging from deep rose to "pigeon's blood" red, the most sought-after and precious hue. Our Thai rubies typically display a vivid, luminous red, whilst Burmese stones, available upon request, feature a deeper, more purplish red. The choice of shade depends on your personal preference and the style of setting you have in mind.
Can a ruby be paired with other gemstones on an engagement ring?
The ruby pairs beautifully with other gems to create truly unique compositions. The most popular combinations include:
- Ruby and diamonds: the timeless classic, where diamonds enhance the ruby's brilliance in a halo or shoulder setting
- Ruby and sapphires: a duo of corundums in complementary colours for a bold aesthetic
- Ruby-diamond-ruby trilogy: symbolising past, present and future
Mayuri can create these bespoke combinations to your exact wishes.
What size ruby should I choose for a balanced yellow gold engagement ring?
For a harmonious engagement ring, a ruby of 0.5 to 2 carats offers a remarkable presence without being ostentatious. As rubies are rarer than diamonds at equivalent carat weights, even a 1-carat stone carries an exceptional character. The ideal size also depends on hand shape: slender fingers are beautifully complemented by stones of 0.5 to 1 carat, whilst broader hands can carry rubies of 1.5 to 2 carats with ease.
Which cuts are most flattering for a ruby engagement ring?
Several cuts reveal the beauty of a ruby on yellow gold to stunning effect:
- Oval: elongates the finger and maximises brilliance, highly favoured for solitaires
- Cushion: evokes vintage charm with softened corners and a deep, warm lustre
- Round: a timeless classic that optimises brilliance
- Emerald (rectangular): for a sophisticated Art Deco aesthetic
Mayuri will guide you according to your preferences and the setting style you have in mind.
Is a ruby a suitable birthstone for an engagement ring?
The ruby, birthstone for the month of July, adds a personal and symbolic dimension to your engagement ring. If you or your partner were born in July, choosing a ruby creates an intimate connection between the date of birth and the commitment itself, deepening the emotional significance of the piece. This subtle personalisation makes the ring all the more unique and meaningful.
How does a ruby compare to garnet or red spinel for an engagement ring?
Although visually similar, these red stones differ significantly. The ruby (hardness 9) far surpasses garnet (6.5–7.5) and spinel (8) in terms of durability and value. The ruby belongs to the corundum family, the finest of precious gemstones, whilst garnet and spinel are semi-precious stones. For an engagement ring intended to last a lifetime, the ruby remains the most enduring and most precious choice.
What is the history of ruby engagement rings in royalty and fine jewellery?
Ruby yellow gold engagement rings have adorned the fingers of European and Asian royal courts for centuries, serving as symbols of power and passion. Burmese rubies were particularly prized by Indian maharajas and Russian tsars. This tradition continues today through designs inspired by vintage, Art Deco and Victorian styles, reflecting the timeless heritage of this prestigious pairing.
Does 18K yellow gold suit a ruby better than white or rose gold?
18K yellow gold (750/1000) creates an exceptional chromatic synergy with the red of the ruby, as the warm tones magnify one another beautifully. Unlike white gold, which creates a cooler contrast, or rose gold, which can visually compete with the ruby, yellow gold enhances the stone without overpowering it. This classic pairing transcends trends and naturally flatters every skin tone, from the fairest to the deepest.
