Of simple design and workmanship, this popular style three stone ring is centered with a significant prong-set 1.01ct round faceted African ruby measuring 5.5mm in diameter, graded 'scarlet' color and 'fair' clarity, flanked by a pair of prong-set full-cut diamonds graded H-I color and VS clarity collectively weighing 0.28cts.

A smooth spherical white gold band and a delicate easily sizable shank complement this stunning three-stone estate engagement ring.

For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones, originally deriving from India, the classical country of rubies. In Sanskrit, this gemstone of overwhelming brilliance is named 'ratnaraj' translated as 'King of Gemstones'. Whenever a spectacular ruby crystal was discovered and reported to the Emperor, he would send notables to receive and welcome the precious new gemstone in appropriate style. Ruby is the red variety of the corundum family, one of the hardest minerals of which includes sapphires in a multitude of colors. This magnificent red variety of corundum primarily consists of aluminum oxide and chrome, the latter being the element awarding ruby its wonderful color originating from deep inside the earth's core. Rubies may show very different shades of red depending on their origin, the most notable being Burmese rubies, indicating the luxurious blood red color. Ruby occurrences exist in Vietnam, Ceylon, Northern Pakistan, Cashmere, Nepal and Afghanistan. Ruby is the perfect symbol of powerful feelings and a ring set with a precious ruby symbolizes the passionate and enduring love between two people.

…..for Guys only…..a note from the Ladies….

I have been asked personally by a number of female recipients of Fay Cullen Engagement Rings to respectfully draw the attention of future male Engagement Ring shoppers to our much coveted English Silver or Swarovski Crystal Wedding Ring Boxes which they were unfortunately not given, but which they discovered on our site after their proposal! You may wish to give serious thought to a Custom-made, Contour-fitted Wedding Band due to the fact that we only offer this service at the time of purchase, prior to shipping. Thank you!
