This is an approximately 1.5 carat Burma Red Spinel from AJS with approximately .60 carat each RB diamond sides. I don't know why I became obsessed with owning a red spinel- I tend to like more pastel pink and orange stones. But when I got the stone I loved the glow of it. It looks red in flourescent light, sometimes a purplish red in low light and it glows dark pink in direct sunlight. I think the glow gave it the wow factor for me as otherwise I would think it too dark. I was not worried about the proportions of the stones as the diamonds were from other rings and one is from my MIL's old engagement ring. She didn't like the diamond- too small. lol But I put it to good use and it is a rememberence now. :)

Gemfever beat me to it - I was going to say how beautiful the proportions look on your finger. Well done!

Oh, so beautiful!

Between this, and AGBF's beauty, I'm starting to really want a red stone ring. And I'm not into red! Seriously, I don't have a single red thing in my whole wardrobe/accessories. I barely have anything that isn't blue/grey/black. But I want a red stone, now. Pricescope, what have you all done?

There's something soooooo elegant about a classical 3 stone ring. I love the sentiment behind it! Did you have the setting made?

Enjoy wearing it. It very much suits your hand and looks lovely. Congratulations.

Such a perfect setting - and I love the inclusion of your MIL's stone :halo:
Beautiful on your hand --- and love the description of how the colours change in the different lighting situation. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Alberto from Amcor Designs set the ring in a stock setting from Unique Settings of New York. He manipulated the prongs to fit my stones.. The red spinel is nice and I love it but it is not a stone I would have a custom setting made for. One day when I get my dream spinel (I am dreaming BIG electric neon pink/purple or or a vibrant teal that looks blue but has green flashes) I will get a custom setting. If that day ever happens. lol I like the color of this spinel very much:

I never saw a ring I liked more! I love the red. Unlike you, I do not love pastels; I love true reds. Sometimes I find my own, newly set, spinel too square and chunky as it is a cushion cut, not a true oval. (Only sometimes!) Your ring is graceful, classical, and perfect!

Wear it in good health!

Hugs,
Deb
