My 10th is coming up and my husband and I are working on how to set them. I am REALLY torn between two ideas. He has little input but the original idea was the ring, so I think he was surprised I even mentioned the necklace. They're roughly in the same pricerange.
The rubies are a nice deep almost blood red shade, and I love them. They're about 3ish mm rounds. I have had them for damn near 7 years or maybe longer, and I haven't done anything with them since I bought them, except just have them.
So my ideas are either a DBTY style necklace, alternating the rubies with diamonds. I'd need it about 18" long or I'd choke. I am thinking 5 diamonds and 4 rubies (?)....

OR
an Alternating Bezel band like this, with the rubies in the place of the larger stones. So 4 larger rubies and 5 smaller diamonds. I assume it would be about 4mm wide finished?

As most of you know, I rarely wear my stuff, so it's "which would I wear more of the little I wear my stuff." I'd likely wear the ruby band alone or with other bands, not likely with my ering just bec of width. But the necklace I could wear and then with my earrings and with my rings and not have to worry about it. But again, I don't wear necklaces all that often. I don't wear anything all that often. Esp not to work bec it gets scary as hell down here.
What would you think is the best choice?
