Looking for a swirl setting and new ruby that dances with me

[showpup]

I have been looking a week for this setting and not getting close.

I purchased this ring maybe 20 years ago.

I would like to find a better quality ruby around 1.25 oval or round with a wonderful cut that makes it dance.

The setting I''m looking for is channel set diamonds in a wave or swirl on both sides from .15 to .7 ~ 2 rows on each side as seen in attachment.

I was also thinking about having maybe a half bezel to open the ruby up to light. I don''t know how that would figure in the design.

I wanted to not use a prong setting. I just don''t want it to look like a delicate engagement ring.

If we can''t find anything close I guess I will just have to go with something custom made.

If any one could help I would be so thankful
I''m exhausted looking

What sort of treatment do you find acceptable in your ruby? Is heat okay? What about fracture filling? Finding the right stone and setting can sometimes take months, so please be patient.

I am very comfortable with heat treating a ruby.

Filling is another story.

If you want something with very good quality, you are more likely to find the stone and setting separately. This way, you are not limited to the choice of the ruby. I saw a few very nice ones here but as with all good rubies, they are expensive if only heat treated.
