With quality rubies? That'll be difficult. What are you trying to achieve? Three stone with a ruby center/ diamond sides? Vise versa? Ruby with a halo?Fabulous50|1444639747|3937406 said:Does anyone know if any of the major retailers are making ruby or ruby and diamond rings? I know Tiffany's is not. Thank you!

Given the pieces I've seen, I suspect inventory varies by store and isn't listed online; you'd need to figure out which brand you want and work with a sales consultant to have pieces brought in if ones exist that meet your specs & budget.
And to ditto Niel, good quality rubies are expensive - often wildly so. At any of the places I mentioned, I doubt you'd find a ruby ring for less than $30k - most of the ones I've seen were $50k and up.

You're right I've seen them there, but because of the price range you mention I didn't even think to mention. Lovely stuff though.

Sorry I'm not one of the experts and certainly not on colored stones. I just saw that ring and thought of it when I saw your post.

Fabulous50|1445337119|3940165 said:Thanks for all the helpful responses! I am looking for something with rubies in a wedding band, but i don't have a specific design in mind. I recently lost my wedding band, which is a ruby and diamond 16 stone Tiffany Schlumberger ring. I hate typing those words, I still can't believe it is gone and I still hope to find it one day. My husband gave it to me as a surprise on our wedding day, and I am so sad about it. Anyway! I was hoping to replace it with a ring with rubies and an interesting design, which is why I asked about major retailers. I will go look in the stores and see what I can find.
