Red Trillions for Leon Mege 3 stone ring

[just_looking!]

Leon emailed to say that the ring is nearly ready and I remembered that I forgot to attach the pics of the rubies.......

They are 4mm trillions, with a total weight of .46cts They are so difficult to photograph so don''t look as nice in the pic as in real life (thanks Wink for trying!)!! Richard Homer emailed this description:

The Rubies in question are of BURMESE origin...super color....VS clarity...heat treated but NOT Beryllium enhanced, no glass filling, no plastic filling, no flux filling. The Rubies were concave faceted in a brillanteered style...meaning there is a central culet with concave facets radiating about the center....I just give it the generic name of "concave brilliant". The stones were too small to get too fancy with them...I used a 3mm radius of curvature as it was...just to be able to lay the concave facets in...that is a custom made spindle of my proprietary medium that is absolutely unheard of in the gem world! They are truly unique and beautiful gems.

I keep telling myself that all good things come to those who wait but I''m sooooo looking forward to my ring finally arriving!! Will share the pics when it finally gets here in May.

Wow! That is going to be one B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L ring! As the owner of some Richard Homer stones myself, I know you will derive a great deal of pleasure from wearing them. Can''t wait to view the final product!

What a spectacular ring!!! Will you be getting an eternity wedding band with alternating rubies and saphires, a band with "just" diamonds, a band with "just" rubies, or a plain wedding band? No matter what you choose you will have a gorgeous set!!!

 

[Gale]

What a gorgeous ring! The wait is almost over.

 

[Richard Sherwood]

Whoa! I''m going to take my time appraising this one...

 

[valeria101]

Just-looking....wow you are one lucky lady, that ring is just fantastic! I love your side stones, come to AL football game and you will surely be the center of attention for your crimson and white stones...drooling now.

 

[asblackrock]

Just looking
WOW

This is my all time favourite 3 stone setting. I just love it!
You must be waiting sooooooooooo impatiently.

 

[just_looking!]

I think I''ll go with my 10 stone ACA (2 pointers) ring for my wedding ring as it will provide a bit of sparkle without upstaging the E-ring.

I did look into getting a ring with rubies in it but was told that they are really difficult to match.

 

[Kaleigh]

I think your 10 stone band with 2 pointers will look terrific with your leon masterpiece. I agree a band with rubies and diamonds would be awfully hard to match.

 

[Cath]

Ahhhh, it''s such a pretty ring! I think a 10 stone w-ring will be a perfect match. How exciting!!

 

[WinkHPD]

Wow! That did come out nice! Leon is such a joy to send stones to, he always makes them look fantastic!

Wink

 

[HOUMedGal]

Ooohhhh, it''s fantastic!!! What a beautiful end to the collaboration between all the folks that helped make your ring a reality! I''m a sucker for those claw prongs...and the rubies, the touch of red is just stunning. YUMMMM!!!

 

[mrssalvo]

just coming back to look at your ring again. wow, i can''t wait for those hand pics

OMG just_looking! That combination nearly makes me cry it sounds so freaking beautiful.

Your ring is gorgeous and I can hardly wait for pics!

 

[just_looking!]

Sorry this is sooooo late! More to follow

We went with a curved band in the end as the shared prong straight band was cutting into the prongs on my Ering.
