Ruby bracelets are usually made of gold or silver with rubies embedded in the band, or a line of rubies strung together. Diamonds and other jewels may also be added for color and variety.
These ruby bracelets consist of small gold or silver pieces linked together and accented with rubies. The rubies are usually arranged in a pattern in a single strand. Fourteen- to eighteen-karat gold is commonly used for the links.
Ruby bangles
Ruby bangles are rigid bands decorated with rubies. They come in different thicknesses and often do not have clasps or closures. The bangles are usually 14k gold or white gold.
Ruby tennis bracelets
Ruby tennis bracelets have a single strand of rubies, sometimes alternating with other jewels. The jewels are set in place with bezels or three- to four-prong holders. Some models are made up of two smaller strands linked together.
Clasp: Choose a ruby bracelet with a secure clasp closure to keep it from falling off. Look for one with a snap-on or ring clasp. Avoid open hooks and s-hooks because they are easily unhooked or snapped open with snags or rough movement. For bangles, make sure the band is not loose enough to slide through your hand.
Jewel mount: Make sure the rubies in your bracelet are firmly mounted in place. Look for prong-mounted ones for a more secure hold. Make sure the jewel is deeply embedded with no protruding parts that may snag on your clothing.
