Some folks might know I was trying to find a ruby piece to celebrate the birth of my first baby (due 7/15). Silly little girl decided to come on 6/30, but I've still decided her birthstone is ruby haha.
Well, I'm glad it was taking me forever to decide on a ruby piece, because it turns out my mom had plans to gift me multiple pieces that I've never seen.
2 rings and 2 necklaces.
Ring #1. Purchased in India, 20k gold (I think). Ruby is likely from Mozambique since it doesn't quite have that ideal ethereal glow. I'm going to have DK resize since it's tiny.
Ring 2. Tiffany style alternating diamonds and rubies in 18k. Also tiny but fits my pinky so will stay this size for now.
And now for the special, high quality rubies.
I can't even describe the glow. The difference between Burmese and other rubies is insane.
I am very excited to wear these (and give the smaller necklace to my daughter when she's older)
