A Burmese Ruby and Diamond Three Stone Ring

Happy Friday my lovely!  Oh I am always so glad that I picked Friday as one of my days to post, as it means that I can say those four words to you first thing!

So yesterday in the antique jewellery shop I was looking closer at our Ruby collection and suddenly realised that one of the ruby and diamond three stone rings in fact had a Burmese Ruby as its centre stone!  Now you might remember the previous post Ruby – the King of the Gemstones, where we learnt that a Burmese Ruby, also known as Pigeon’s Blood Ruby, is the most sought after colour in this gemstone, and I am so pleased that I can now show you what it looks like:

While working in the shop I have noticed that three stone rings are quite a popular choice for engagement rings, and some say that they represent the couple’s past, present and future.  To some people the arrangement has a religious meaning, said to represent the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.  When it comes to this design of three stone rings, you may also find that they are referred to as Trinity Rings or Trilogy Rings.
