I may have missed this within the thread, but would you mind telling me the size of the center stone and the rubies?

Thank you LS! I am enjoying the contrast between the red of the rubies and the white of the diamonds. Aren't gemstones such fun?
I hope it brings good luck to the Crimson Tide next Monday!

Diamondseeker2006 I am happy to share.
I think a three stone ruby ring would be DIVINE. I love red and white together and some rubies seem to breathe on your hand. For size reference this ring ended up being just over a size 5. If you are looking for ruby pairs I would suggest talking to Marc from Africa Gems many of the colored stones you have seen me post, and a few I haven't posted were purchased from Marc and he is always pleasant to work with.
Center Stone: BGD Blue 1.71 7.69x7.72 mm H/SI 1
Ruby Side Stones: Africa Gems 6mm each 2.11 tcw
Diamond Side Stones: Sin City Treasures 4.6mm G/SI1 .78tcw

Hmm...as a Gator alum, I can't quite agree with you, but in any case, I DO agree that gemstones are fun!
(Best of luck to you anyway next Monday!)

Thank you so much! I actually bought a lavender sapphire from Africa Gems back in the summer and am having it set now, so I am so happy to know that is where you have found many of your beautiful colored stones! My diamond is 1.65 and 7.6mm so just a tiny bit smaller than yours. That helps so much with proportions!
(I am going to say that I love red FAR more than orange, but I am from SC! I didn't go to the orange school, but I do have a niece there now! Don't hate me! )
