Love the color of the ruby and the setting! It was clearly meant to be and it couldn’t have gone to a more worthy owner! Congratulations and enjoy!!

You’re too sweet! Thank you for sharing in my excitement!

Ooooh that is yummy, I've got a soft spot for rubies and this is absolutely gorgeous!

Same! Something about them just makes me swoooooon!

 

[ac117]

The most gorgeous ruby cluster ring! The color, the setting, the amazing chunky white OECs, the design and presence it has - incredible!!! But the most amazing thing is that this stunner made its way home to you and it is there to stay! So happy for you dear friend!

Thank you my dear!!! Appreciate you listening to the endless back and forth and supporting me through the wait!!! <3

G O R G E O U S!!!!!
The color is perfect and I love the story that it was the one that got away.. and then it wasn't.
A true happy ending.

I was hoping you saw this since I’ve always loved and admired your stunning heart ruby and Tiffany ruby pieces!!! Is there such a thing as too many rubies??? Neverrrrr!!!!

oh, I'm envious; it's beautiful! I also have an antique ruby ring on my jewelry bucket list, but haven't found the right one yet... or at least not the right one at the right price.

 

[junebug17]

Happy to!!!

Meant to be and she is beautiful on you!

It's absolutely amazing, honestly. That is a stunning ruby, and exactly the colour I imagine a ruby to be.

I was wondering what was documented about the colour and saturation of this ruby and whether it has any modifiers or not?

Does it fluoresce?

What do you know about the OECs? I think there's something so perfect about OECs and ruby together, especially slightly larger OECs.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you junebug!!! That’s me every time I look at her lol

Yup this was my exact dilemma as well! I won’t lie, DH definitely had sticker shock but I just couldn’t pass it up for the second time. Could I have recreated it for less? Maybe, but would it have been perfect? Could I have gotten a ‘better’ or unheated ruby, yes, but it would’ve been much smaller. This one must’ve presented itself again for a reason...or so I like to think!

 

[Catmom]

Very pretty and obviously yours!

 

[Horsegirl76]

GORGEOUS! You have an incredible collection of rings! Enjoy!

 

[kathley]

Your ring is truly stunning! I love rubies and this is over the top gorgeous with the OEC diamonds!

This is all the info on the GIA origin report. I’m debating whether I want to send it in to AGL for additional analysis (which I did with my emerald but that wasn’t certed at all). If and when I find out more, I’d be happy to let you know!
The OECs are roughly .11 points each, G color VS clarity-chunky, white and delicious!

 

[elizat]

Really a wonderful ruby! That's a very neat story as well- was meant to be!

 

[Rfisher]

Absolutely gorgeous shoulders and gallery too
Thank you!

Happy to!!!

I’ll confess I approved a CAD two weeks ago that has a riff off of this style shoulder. Love it!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Gorgeous ring!!! The ruby is such a beautiful color and I love the setting, too! I have pictures saved with rings with shoulders like that! I'd love to find a ruby ring as pretty as yours one day! It's the perfect color to wear to celebrate the 4th this weekend!

I think sending it for a further report when it's already in a setting and would have to be unmounted would be a shame hey? I don't know how much risk to the setting that would be. Or I presume it has to be unmounted anyway.

 

[caolsen]

That’s lovely, just as perfect as a ruby should be.

 

[MrsBlue]

Perfection

Thanks DS! I’m really SO in love with it and I’m happy to share with others who also appreciate her beauty! Between us, we’re ready for the 4th! I’ll bring the red, you bring the blue and since they both have the white we’re set! Hopefully one day!

AGL offers 2 options of unmounted and mounted stones but I would call to verify that being mounted wouldn’t interfere with the full analysis if I wanted the prestige full grading report. Maybe one of the pros could comment on what would be best or if they think it’s beneficial if I already have a GIA report? @denverappraiser @Rockdiamond @Karl_K @oldminer

GORGEOUS! You have an incredible collection of rings! Enjoy!

Thank you! I feel like I’m finally curating my tastes and collection. When I was younger I would just impulsively buy what I liked and realized that wasn’t always long lasting. Now I’m trying to think about what I really like/want and take my time rather than rush into things!
