For the magic prefix, see Ruby (magic prefix).

Rubies are red gems, and are socketable items in Diablo II and Diablo III.

Diablo II[]

Like all other gems, Rubies grant bonuses that are related to their color. The red in Rubies signify the Elemental power of Fire. Socketing a ruby in Weaponry adds Fire damage, while Shields earn Fire resistance, and in Helms and Body Armor it increases life, which, in-game, is also associated with the color red. Crafted Items can be made with Rubies, and Blood Items have bonuses centered on increasing the wearer's life and recovering life.

Weapons: Adds Fire Damage
