I posted a full glamor shoot over on SMTB to share the secret of colored stones with the masses.

But I wanted to share the best of them with all of you, since everyone was so very helpful in finding the stone, vetting it, giving suggestions about the setting, and holding my hands through the long wait. You guys are the best! Special shout out to Colorluvr who is my #1 enabler.

I'd love to hear what you think about the ring.

Wow!! Stunning!!!

Refresh my memory.. How many carats is the ruby? Where did you get it again? And, where did you get the setting?

It is absolutely beautiful! Wear it in good health!!

I am literally drooling..

It. Is. Gorgeous.

Now, tell us what you think - do you love it to bits? What do you think about the prongs since you decided to leave them as is?

Uppy, it really is lovely and I hope you love it unconditionally...

Love it! If I had a nice ruby, I'd set it pretty much the same way.

Off to check SMTB for it... hoping there are some pics there in various light conditions ;))

Loved the photo shoot in the SMTB thread!

I completely agree with your favourite picture above- that ruby mimics the flowers perfectly and I love the fire! Great shot!

The ruby is 2.04 carats, Burma, light heat, certificate from GRS, stated pigeon blood red. The mounting was customized by IDJewlery. The shank and the ruby prongs are 18k yellow gold. The 1.35 ctw of F/G VS diamonds are in white gold.

I intended to have the outer prongs modified being concerned they may be too "pointy," but they turned out absolutely perfect as they are!

Any time sweetie, any time - lol..... nothing like mutual enablers to seal a longtime friendship! I'm sooo glad that you finally got your ruby dream ring and that you love it! I think it is perfect and I'm glad you waited for "the one"!

Gorgeous ring. As a lover of all things red (my mom says I would always choose red when given a choice as a child...red coat, red boots, red dress, etc.) a ruby ring is my dream ring as well. No other gemstone hits the red button quite like a ruby.

Enjoy it!!!! :appl:

Timeless and blingtastic to boot; I think you are starting a trend for a pointier style big halo on PS.

Sometimes the mind ignores what is logical because the person cannot accept the reality of what it is.
