Love in Bloom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,535 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/31/2007	I have been waiting for a sunny day to take some pictures of my new ring, but it has been so rainy here in the midwest! I just couldn't help myself...I took some pictures at work to help pull myself outta the gloom (they're not the best ), but hopefully I can take some better ones soon if the sun ever comes out today . So here they, the first shots of what I call my "Alligator Head" ruby in its new home: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the axe came into the forest, the trees said the handle is one of us. -bumper sticker

Yup thing2of2, it's a VC. I am totally addicted to their work! It is style 457 and I asked for a half-bezel instead of prongs; wanted something to sit low.

I hadn't thought of coloured stones in this type of setting either...I think the half-bezel makes it a bit more ruby-friendly (at least for me ). ETA- The story on the stone...
