Rubies land at a nine on the Mohs scale, which ranks the hardness of gemstones from one to ten with ten being the hardest. Because of their hardness, rings with rubies are optimal for daily-wear accessories like engagement rings and wedding rings. You can increase the longevity of your ruby jewelry even further with proper cleaning and care.
Ruby rings for women and men that are set in solid gold or platinum, rather than
gold plated, are especially durable. Many natural rubies can be treated for further strengthening, making these red gems popular for eternity bands, fashion rings and many other styles.
