Frequently asked questions
-
Is ruby durable for everyday jewelry?
Yes. Ruby scores a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. It resists scratching better than nearly every other colored gemstone and is ideal for daily wear in all jewelry types including rings.
-
Does ruby look better in gold or silver?
Both work beautifully. Yellow gold creates a warm, classic pairing that has been prized for centuries. Sterling silver and white gold offer a modern, high-contrast look. Rose gold adds a romantic warmth. All options are available at Erin Gallagher Jewelry.
-
Are ruby and sapphire the same stone?
They are the same mineral: corundum (Mohs 9). Red corundum is classified as ruby. All other colors are classified as sapphire. They share identical hardness, crystal structure, and physical properties.
