Celebrity engagement rings are almost always about the diamonds. Enormous, sparkling diamonds. But are there any celebrities that strayed from this path? Are there any that said “yes” to rubies?
Of course, there are! See which celebrities are wearing resplendent ruby rings and find out how you can get one of your own.
Where to Get a Ruby Ring
So, where can you get ruby engagement rings? Finding beautiful rings with coloured gemstones can feel challenging when most large jewellery chains focus on bright white diamonds. Instead of hoping that you’ll find a strong selection at one of these chains, go to a local custom jeweller. A custom jeweller like Alexis Gallery will offer an exceptional selection of gemstones from sapphires to morganite to bright red rubies for you to browse through.
Plus, a custom jeweller can help you design your ring so that it perfectly matches your style and budget. So, if you want to have a ring like one of these stars, they can help you make that happen.
