Sapphires and Rubies are good because they come from the mineral Corundum and have remarkable hardness of 9.0 on the Moh’s scale.

Although comparing their cost with the Sapphires in the same colors, the latter ones could be more reasonable. Sapphires have other romantic colors suitable for the occasion of an engagement.
