Hi.

I actually have a gemstone dealer who knows what I like and sources it for me. I also do look online.

I know what you mean about online shopping - sometimes when it arrives, it does not look like what you have bought. That has happened a few times to me!

I thought this must be the case - that ruby is too perfect to find online without some great connections! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

I think I might do this with it (it’s my yellow diamond and asscher open band). I have a ruby of similar hue and make a split band ring with both rubies facing each other. What do you think?

OoohShiny · Apr 12, 2018

I like that idea!

Can you snap a pic of the 2 rubies together? Are they the same shape/cut? I would worry that one might out-shine the other is all.

It’s hard to tell from this photo as I was unable to use natural light, but they are a similar colour. And shape.

In the split ring I have, one is a yellow cushion and the other is a white asscher, and it works.

I feel like the current ring you have works well because the two stones are purposefully mismatched. While both of your rubies are beautiful *cough send me one*, I think together one will always look "not as nice" as the other. I think if you're going to do the double-stone setting again, I'd get a completely different stone to go with it.

Yeah - you are probably correct. I have another emerald (see the photo of the under stone next to my other ring) but I fear it’s maybe too large to be set opposite the ruby?

kevnick80 · Apr 12, 2018

Or maybe this setting would be better?

The red and green reads a bit Christmassy anyway .I'm a fan of red and yellow...and red and white is always safe. Red and grey would be really nice too.

This is my Jesuit ring
I'm very pleased with it and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner :p

Late to the game here, but that's a very handsome ring!

Wow - you give me a run for my money!

My favourite is the orange (love a shield-type cut) and the Burmese spinel. That colour is insane!

Updated by basket settings on my princess studs to chevron settings.
E Si1 1.01 ctw
Platinum head with 18k WG posts with friction grip backs.

mwilliamanderson · Oct 13, 2018

I like the update! Kind of unique looking.

gregchang35 · Oct 13, 2018

here are pics of the before and after the setting change.
The chevron/ V claw setting accentuate the corners of the princess more. and i think, it enhances the stone ie making them look bigger. The previous setting is typical of a basket with normal "button" prong setting.
afters before.

So I made a album of 140 rings I have found while searching online. See this link:
https://imgur.com/a/ScL8Y3y

Some are from this form but many are not. Hope this helps others with inspiration.
If some mod thinks its a good idea to drop 140 images here on this board I can do it but I though it was better as an external link.

I suggest you to add this Brio Solitaire diamond ring for men from DeBeers

That is striking!

Did you have it custom-designed?

I like it

Hi, yes it’s a custom made. As it involves pave diamonds settings and an unusual shape of the sapphire, I keep emphasising to the setter to keep it as masculine as much as possible
