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
Shields: Adds Resistance to Fire
Helms and Body Armor: Adds to Maximum Life

Trivia[]
- The name "Ruby" is derived from the Greek word for "blood:" i.e. "Rubinus." Its etymology as a "blood stone" is reflected in game, in which the Ruby is associated with an increase to life.
