How does the ruby Fable Symmetry differ from the original Fable?

The center, bezel and band are the same. The original Fable places its marquise and round diamond on one side of the pear; the Fable Symmetry repeats them on the other, so your ruby is framed evenly from both sides.

Is a ruby durable enough for an engagement ring worn every day?

Yes. Ruby is corundum, 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond among the gems used in engagement rings. The full bezel adds protection by covering the pear's point and edge, the part of a pear most exposed to knocks.

Which metal suits a ruby in a bezel?

Yellow and rose gold warm the red and make it read richer; white gold and platinum set a cool edge that makes the red look brighter and more saturated. Because a bezel puts metal right against the ruby, the choice shows more than it would with prongs. We can show you your center in each metal during a design appointment.

Our guided approach to customizing each ring with intention and clarity.

Every Lisa Robin ring is made to order, which means your design can be thoughtfully refined—even when ordering online. Whether you’re adjusting a detail or evolving the design, we guide you through each decision to ensure the final piece feels cohesive and entirely yours.

Design Refinements can be explored after your initial order, with any pricing adjustments clearly outlined and approved before crafting begins.

Refinement options include but are not limited to:

  • Adjusting the width or taper of the band (shank)
  • Modifying or adding side diamonds for additional detail or presence
  • Changing the prong style (claw, round, double prong, etc.)
  • Adjusting the number of prongs for both aesthetic and structure
  • Refining the basket design for a different profile or overall look
  • Selecting your preferred metal type and color
  • Adapting the design to better coordinate with a wedding ring
Made to order — Your ruby engagement ring ships in 3-4 weeks, approximately Dec 02 to Dec 06

Victorian Romance, Set in Red

The Fable Symmetry sets a pear-cut ruby in a full bezel edged in milgrain, above a petal basket. A marquise and a round white diamond sit on each side of the pear, mirrored, and the band continues as a sculpted leaf and vine.

Red was the Victorian color of devotion, and the bezel lets your ruby carry it cleanly: the gold wraps the pear completely, so the red reads as one unbroken shape inside a beaded outline. White diamonds on both sides hold it at the center of an even frame.

Choose the ruby Fable Symmetry if you want a colored center with period detail and mirrored side diamonds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gemstone Engagement Rings

Yes. Ruby is a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. That resists scratching, holds polish, and stands up to decades of daily wear. Rubys have anchored engagement rings for centuries because they are built to last as long as the commitment they represent.
The ruby family includes red across a true spectrum — pinkish red, pigeon's blood (the most prized), burgundy, and the rare orange-tinged "sunrise" rubies from East Africa. Each color carries its own saturation range, and the most saturated gemstones tend to command the highest prices.
Rubies have symbolized passion, protection, and vitality for centuries. Burmese warriors believed rubies made them invincible in battle; the gemstone has signaled bold love across cultures for thousands of years.
Burmese (Myanmar) rubies, particularly the legendary Mogok mines, produce the most coveted pigeon's blood red. Mozambique rubies (since the 2010s) rival Burmese quality at more accessible prices
At Lisa Robin, settings start at $2,095 and range to approximately $3,295 in 14K gold for the most intricate halo and cluster designs. Platinum is priced higher than 14K gold; the exact price shows when you select the metal. A 1 carat ruby often starts around $500 for commercial quality and reaches well into five figures for fine Burmese or Mozambique gemstones. The ruby itself drives most of the variation in final price.
All four metals we offer pair beautifully with ruby, but each combination reads differently. A bright pigeon's blood reads vivid against yellow gold, dramatic against white. A pinkish red warms against rose gold. A burgundy reads intense against white gold.
Shape is part personal taste and part hand proportion. Oval and cushion cuts are the most traditional and read vivid from any angle. Round rubies are rarer and command a premium. Pear and marquise cuts add directional movement. Emerald cuts read modern but show inclusions more openly — relevant for a gemstone where eye-clean rubies are less common than eye-clean sapphires. Longer hands often suit round and cushion shapes; shorter fingers often benefit from pear, oval, or marquise.
Yes. Every Lisa Robin ruby engagement ring is custom: you choose the ruby (color, shape, origin, clarity, size), select a setting from our collection or modify one, and choose your metal and finger size. If you want a design that does not exist here, we work with you to create something entirely new. Custom ruby rings are crafted in 3-4 weeks from design approval.
Approximately 3-4 weeks from the time you approve the final design. From design approval, each ring is crafted individually — there is no warehouse inventory at Lisa Robin. The 3-4 week timeline applies to both our signature designs and custom work.
Lab-created rubies are available by request. They are not displayed in our online ruby feed because each one is sourced individually based on your color, size, and clarity preferences. Lab-grown rubies are chemically and structurally identical to mined rubies — same corundum, same 9 on Mohs — and typically cost 30-60% less than natural gemstones of comparable quality.
