I have been reading everything about diamonds for my e-ring for a long time now. My heart was all set on a radiant diamond with a 1:1.3 in platinum. But I just love the antique rings from movies I watched as a child. With the radiant I thought a simple band was gorgeous and an antinque setting would be cluttered or gaudy. I finally decided perhaps what I really want is a ruby center stone with diamonds around it or on the side. I think it would also make a sentimental thing to pass down to future children. However, now with everything I read about diamonds, I know nothing about rubies or where to start. I have a gf who is going to Burma and can pick me up any ruby but how do we even begin to know if it's a quality ruby and is there such a thing as a "clear" or "sparkly" ruby??? I already know my setter (another gf's mother who works in the diamond district in NYC who do great work), she told me to definately save myself the money and get a quality ruby from Burma. I feel pretty lucky to have these friends, but now where do I go from here???
PS. Does anyone else feel a little pressure about having a "non" traditional e-ring? Some ppl have already commented how it would seem "cheap" or "not the way e-rings" are supposed to be.
