yanaazul - the rubies are wham! bam! GLAM! in person - and the whole ring is very eye catching. It's a ring you actually notice - which I like. So many rings that people have spent time and money over just fade into insignificance once on the hand. But this one demands its own presence in the conversation.
Apacherose - thank you for your kind comments. I am very fond of this ring and I'm thrilled to have given her some new 'glad rags'. She's now my go-to ring and I'm loving every wear.
