The price of an 18k yellow gold ruby ring varies depending on the size and quality of the ruby, the gold weight, and the complexity of the setting. Our creations start around $650 for a delicate design and can reach several thousand dollars for pieces set with large AAA-grade rubies. All our jewellery offers flexible payment options via Alma (3x interest-free or up to 10 instalments) and PayPal Pay in 4 to make your purchase easier.
18k yellow gold provides a warm setting that naturally intensifies the depth of the ruby's red hue. Unlike white gold, which creates a cool contrast, yellow gold offers a chromatic harmony that enhances the stone's fiery brilliance and gives it timeless elegance. This pairing is especially favoured for classic and vintage-style rings.
Absolutely. Our yellow gold ruby rings make a bold and romantic choice for an engagement. The ruby, a symbol of passion and ardent love, offers an original alternative to the traditional diamond. With a hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, ruby is perfectly suited to everyday wear. We offer elegant solitaire designs or creations surrounded by diamonds for a spectacular effect.

All our rubies are 100% natural AAA-grade, primarily sourced from Thailand. Most are heat-treated to enhance their colour and brilliance, a standard process in fine jewellery that elevates the stone's natural qualities. Untreated natural rubies are much rarer and more expensive. We can source Burmese, Mozambican, or Madagascan rubies upon request, as well as untreated natural stones.
Our collection features yellow gold ruby rings in several styles to suit every personality:
Each style can be customised to your preferences.
Ruby is a very durable stone (9/10 Mohs) that requires little maintenance. Clean your yellow gold ruby ring regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, then dry gently. Avoid direct impacts despite its hardness. 18k yellow gold maintains its natural lustre; professional polishing can be arranged if needed. Our rings come with a 2-year warranty and lifetime support.

Ruby size depends on your style and budget. For an elegant solitaire, a 0.5 to 1 carat ruby offers perfect balance. For a cocktail ring or bold creation, consider 2 carats or more. AAA-grade rubies being rarer than diamonds, even a modest stone creates a remarkable visual impact on yellow gold. Our team advises you based on your preferences and hand shape.
Yes, Mayuri is committed to ethical jewellery. Our 18k yellow gold comes from traceable sources and we use over 80% recycled metals. Our rubies are responsibly sourced, primarily from Thailand, and our ateliers are human-scale or RJC-certified (Responsible Jewellery Council). Choosing a Mayuri yellow gold ruby ring means combining timeless luxury with 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 it. 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 yellow gold ruby rings : matières, entretien, symbolique et conseils en style.
The ruby symbolizes ardent passion, courage, and eternal love, while yellow gold evokes light, richness, and loyalty. Together, they form a powerful union celebrating deep and enduring love. This combination is particularly prized for marking important commitments or celebrating significant anniversaries, with the ruby being the traditional stone for 40th wedding anniversaries.
A quality natural ruby displays an intense, uniform red color, ideally pigeon's blood red, with good transparency and few inclusions visible to the naked eye. Mayuri rubies are graded AAA and come with certificates of authenticity guaranteeing their nature and provenance. Microscopic inclusions, called "gardens," are normal and prove the natural origin of the stone, unlike synthetic rubies which are often too perfect.
The ruby-diamond pairing creates a striking contrast where white diamonds illuminate the deep red of the central ruby. This classic combination, particularly elegant in yellow gold, adds brilliance and sophistication to the ring while enhancing the center stone. The most popular styles include the halo solitaire, side pavé, and ruby-diamond trilogy.
Burmese rubies are renowned for their exceptional pigeon's blood red color with a slight blue fluorescence, making them rarer and more expensive. Thai rubies, which Mayuri primarily uses, display an intense, slightly darker red with excellent hardness and brilliance, offering optimal quality-to-price ratio. Mayuri can source Burmese, Mozambican, or Madagascan rubies upon request for bespoke projects.
Vintage yellow gold ruby rings come in several iconic styles:
These timeless styles inspire our contemporary creations at Mayuri.
Yes, ruby is one of the most durable stones for daily wear thanks to its hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond. Combined with 18k yellow gold, solid and tarnish-resistant, it forms a ring perfectly suited to everyday life. Simply avoid direct violent impacts and remove the ring during intensive manual or sports activities to preserve its brilliance.
The oval cut is most popular as it maximizes the ruby's brilliance while visually elongating the finger, particularly flattering on yellow gold. Other prized shapes include:
Mayuri offers all these cuts in our collection.
The star ruby, or asteriated cabochon ruby, displays a rare optical phenomenon called asterism: a six-rayed star that appears on its surface thanks to oriented rutile inclusions. Set in yellow gold, it creates rings with unique, mystical character, perfect for bohemian or vintage styles. These rubies are cut as cabochons (polished domes) rather than faceted, and Mayuri can source them upon request for bespoke creations.
The term "red sapphire" does not exist in gemology: all red corundum is ruby, while corundum of all other colors (blue, pink, yellow) are sapphires. Only the presence of chromium gives the characteristic red color of ruby. If you're seeking an alternative to classic ruby, pink sapphire offers a softer hue that also harmonizes beautifully with yellow gold, for a more romantic and feminine style.
The price of a yellow gold ruby ring varies according to several criteria:
At Mayuri, our rings start from a few hundred euros for small rubies, up to several thousand for exceptional pieces.
Ruby is the birthstone for July, offering protection, vitality, and passion to those born under this sign. Traditionally considered the "king of stones," it symbolizes courage, life force, and ardent love. Gifting a yellow gold ruby ring to someone born in July is therefore a highly symbolic gesture, combining gemological tradition with deep personal sentiment.
Absolutely, the trilogy ring is an elegant design where three stones symbolize the past, present, and future. On yellow gold, a central ruby can be beautifully flanked by two diamonds for classic contrast, or by two pink sapphires for soft chromatic harmony. Other prized combinations include ruby-emerald-sapphire (the three precious stones) or ruby flanked by two smaller rubies for an intense monochrome statement. Mayuri creates these pieces as bespoke commissions.
