Can you do a ring in a traditional three-stone ring style with three different stones? I’d be looking for a tanzanite center flanked by a diamond and a ruby.
My engagement ring is also a center stone dark oval blue sapphire with the sides accented in a “V” with smaller diamonds. I just love it. Wouldn’t want it any other way.
I have an engagement ring that the center stone is a green garnet flanked by a triangular diamond on each side.It IS gorgeous!!
