I love rubies- I mean, I love rubies like this one. It's got that hard to find combination of deep red, yet it's still bright.

This is a natural ruby - most likely heated during the cutting process- which is customary.

There are imperfections inside the stone- that's cool - we expect it in a ruby.Nothing to impact the beauty, durability, or brilliance.

The setting is a perfect home for this puppy.

Let's talk about these diamonds.

Way back when, before Lab Diamonds, we'd rarely use quarter carat stones above H color.

Also, we'd always look for SI1-2 stones that were eye clean.

If we used mined diamonds of this quality instead of (identical) lab stones, the price of this ring would double. Anyway, back to the amazing ring.

Wow.

Our guys outdid themselves on this baby. The prongs are works of art. The shaped prongs on the ruby... perfection.

Then look at the triple outside prongs on the round diamonds. Love it.

Impeccable finishing - so nice to the touch - so solid.
