It strikes the perfect balance between subtle and stunning. Set with three natural Burmese rubies with a combined weight of 0.48ct.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy favourite thing about these stones is their individuality, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003erather than perfectly matching, each ruby has its own colour and character. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe central stone glows with a vibrant raspberry red, another has a softer grape-toned hue and the third displays a deeper, more intense crimson. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlanking the central ruby, two cushion-shape old-mine cut diamonds. Distinguished by their broad, chunky facets, deep proportions and soft cushion outlines, old-mine cut diamonds are loved for their romantic glow as opposed to the sharper scintillation of modern laser-cut stones. All gemstones are set in platinum rub-over settings, finished with fine millegrain edge detail. The gallery features intricately pierced scalloped design which compliments the rounded outline of each gemstone. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWith a pleasing spread across the finger and a low profile, this ring is as comfortable to wear as it is captivating.
