The price of a white gold ruby engagement ring varies depending on the size and quality of the ruby, as well as the complexity of the setting. Our 18k white gold creations start from a few hundred euros for a delicate solitaire style, and can reach several thousand euros for pieces adorned with diamonds or exceptional caliber rubies. Each ring comes with a certificate of authenticity upon request.
The ruby symbolizes passion and ardent love, offering a bold and personal alternative to the traditional diamond. Paired with 18k white gold, the ruby's deep red is enhanced by the luminous brilliance of the rhodium-plated metal. With a hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, the ruby withstands daily wear beautifully and will endure for years to come.
Absolutely. Our white gold ruby engagement rings can be adorned with diamonds according to your preferences: pavé setting for maximum sparkle, halo to frame the center ruby, or trilogy to symbolize past, present, and future. This ruby-diamond pairing creates a striking contrast between the intense red and white brilliance. Contact us for a bespoke creation.

If in doubt, choose a slightly larger size: we offer complimentary resizing after the proposal.
Our white gold ruby engagement rings are set with natural AAA-quality rubies, primarily sourced from Thailand. Most are heat-treated to enhance their color and brilliance, a standard practice in fine jewelry that brings out the stone's natural qualities. Natural untreated rubies, which are much rarer and more costly, can be sourced on request, as can Burmese or Mozambican rubies.

Mayuri is committed to responsible jewelry. Our 18k white gold comes from ethical sources, with over 80% recycled metals. Our natural rubies are sourced from suppliers selected for their traceability, primarily in Thailand. We work with independent workshops and RJC-certified partners. Choosing a Mayuri white gold ruby engagement ring means combining beauty, quality, and environmental consciousness.
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 white gold ruby engagement rings : matières, entretien, symbolique et conseils en style.
Ruby symbolizes ardent love, passion, and courage, making this gemstone a bold and deeply romantic choice for a marriage proposal. Paired with white gold, ruby embodies a modern and timeless commitment, perfect for couples who wish to express the intensity of their love. This rare and elegant combination conveys passionate and sincere love, far from traditional conventions.
Absolutely. Ruby belongs to the corundum family and displays a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond. This exceptional durability makes it an ideal gemstone for an engagement ring worn every day. The AAA quality rubies selected by Mayuri are particularly resilient and maintain their intense brilliance even after years of daily wear.
Rhodium-plated white gold offers a spectacular luminous contrast that intensifies the deep red of ruby. This pairing creates a sophisticated and modern visual effect, where the neutral white metal highlights the vibrant color of the center stone without darkening it. 18k white gold also brings exceptional durability and a contemporary style particularly appreciated for engagement rings.
A quality ruby is recognized by its intense and uniform red color, ideally a pigeon-blood red with slightly purplish reflections. Check the transparency of the stone and the absence of inclusions visible to the naked eye. At Mayuri, all our rubies are AAA quality, rigorously selected for their exceptional color, purity, and expert cut that maximizes the stone's natural brilliance.
Rubies come from different regions worldwide, each offering distinct characteristics. Burma (Myanmar) is historically famous for its pigeon-blood rubies, while Mozambique and Madagascar also produce stones of exceptional quality. Mayuri rubies come primarily from Thailand, renowned for stones with deep and intense red. We can source Burmese rubies or other prestigious origins upon request for your custom engagement ring.
Heat treatment is a standard and recognized process in fine jewelry that involves heating ruby to intensify its color and improve its clarity. This process enhances the visual quality of the stone and ensures lasting brilliant red. Untreated natural rubies are much rarer and significantly more expensive. Mayuri can source untreated natural rubies upon request for clients seeking this particular rarity in their engagement ring.
Several styles particularly enhance ruby in white gold:
The combination of ruby and diamonds in white gold is one of the most elegant and sought-after pairings in fine jewelry. Diamonds bring dazzling brilliance that contrasts beautifully with the deep red of ruby, creating spectacular play of light. This alliance can take different forms: central ruby surrounded by a diamond halo, diamond pavé on the band, or trilogy alternating ruby and diamonds. Mayuri offers custom creations incorporating this prestigious combination.
Ruby is perfectly suited to vintage and Art Deco styles, periods when this gemstone was particularly prized for engagement rings. The geometric settings characteristic of Art Deco beautifully showcase the intense red of ruby, while white gold brings a modern touch to these retro inspirations. Mayuri can create rings inspired by these glamorous eras with chiseled details, clean lines, and refined settings typical of the 1920s and 1930s.
Size choice depends on your aesthetic preferences and budget. For an engagement ring, rubies of 0.5 to 2 carats offer an ideal balance between presence and refined elegance. Larger stones (2 to 4 carats) create spectacular visual impact, perfect for a bold declaration of love. Keep in mind that quality takes precedence over size: a 1-carat AAA ruby will be more precious and brilliant than a larger stone of inferior quality.
Rhodium plating is a protective rhodium coating applied to 18k white gold that gives it its luminous white and brilliant hue. This finish protects the metal from oxidation and daily scratches, ensuring brilliant contrast with the red ruby. Over time and with use, rhodium plating may fade slightly. Re-plating in our workshop every 2 to 3 years restores your engagement ring's original brilliance, a service offered by Mayuri to preserve your jewel's beauty.
Ruby is the birthstone for July, which adds particular personal dimension if you or your partner were born in July. Beyond this symbolism, a ruby white gold engagement ring is wonderfully suited to a passionate marriage proposal, but also as a wedding anniversary gift (notably for 40th anniversaries, associated with ruby) or to celebrate any significant moment in your love story. The intensity of ruby expresses deep and timeless commitment, whatever moment you choose.
