Upgradable Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,447 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2004	Weight : 1.86 CT. Size : 7.1X7.1X4.2 MM. Shape : Round Colour : HOT ELECTRIC RED Clarity : SI Luster : EXCELLENT Origin : MADAGASCAR Type : 100% NATURAL Treatment : NATURAL HEATED This will be a RHR and I want the setting budget to stay below $1000. My taste doesn't tend to run with current trends, so I'm not looking for lots of pave. I can see this in either a legitimate vintage type setting or in a more modern, minimal setting. I love the buttery richness of 18k yellow gold, but also appreciate both a liquid or matte finished white metal. My fingers are thick (size 8) and not very long, and I'm in my mid-40s, if that helps. I don't object to some accent pave, but the ruby is meant to be the focal point. I don't want to get fussy. Please drop in with tips, ideas, pictures, photoshops. I love to see what others come up with, and I want this project to be something special!

"This exquisite Estate Deco Style mounting ring is handcrafted in solid platinum. The center is designed to hold a round stone of approx. 1.00-1.25 carat, approx. 6 1/2mm in diameter. The rest is elaborated by several genuine round diamonds, approx. 0.55 carat in total, H color, VS clarity. This item is in very good condition!"

My big probem is that I was trying to switch over to wearing all white metals because I perceive they look better on me, but then I see these and think the stones are just gorgeous in yellow gold! I'd really love to have all the rings I just posted! ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~
