Help me choose a graduation ring

Paraiba is a win for me.
Rubillite is also beautiful but on a personal note, I've noticed that while I love burgundy and buy/have ruby jewelry, I actually tend to wear my blue-toned stone jewelry more lol.

Tiffany is a bit boring and generic? It's a nice floral design but I'm sure you can go to your local jeweler and find one that is very similar. It is definitely more everyday/wearable and probably will go better with more occasions and outfits.

However, this is saying from a perspective of a person who already has a collection of Tiffany, Cartier, Bvlgari, Chanel fine jewelry rings, and has moved on to things that I would find a little more unique and special.
Just something to think about.

I love the Tiffany looks. I think it's something you can wear for years to come. Congrats btw!!

I love the Tiffany and the Cecile Raley Paraiba as a “can always wear and is special” and then a showstopper, if you choose to keep two it works. The rubellite really captures me but it’s the stones not the ring as a whole so I could at least rule one out!

Thank you all for the advice and thoughts!

I decided that I just had to keep the rubellite ring. My heart sings when I see it, and I like it more and more as I wear it in different lighting. Now the question is what to do about the other two, but the rubellite was the one I needed to decide on most quickly. Of course it's the most expensive and the worst deal of the group, but the heart wants what it wants.

I do not have a big jewelry collection -- I actually only own one other ring! A small hand engraved 18k rose gold signet. So it seems a bit silly to jump straight into something so special/statement. But I would regret losing this one in a way that I think I would not regret losing the other two, though clearly the Tiffany is more wearable and the paraiba is beautiful and special as well.

Here are a few more photos and videos of the rubellite

HUGE congratulations to you, it is a significant achievement, and the rubellite is stunning and totally fitting.

Your hands are so beautiful, there is a not a ring that couldn't look perfect.

RUBELLITE TOURMALINE​

Better known as Pink Tourmaline, Rubellite is a beautiful, tough and hard precious gemstone extremely rich in Lithium, which attributes to its raspberry coloration. Historically misrepresented as Ruby, Rubellite specimens are prized for their beautiful hues and prismatic crystal growths. Especially pink-hued crystals are the result of prolonged irradiation from its environment in nature. Some hand specimen crystals have been shown to have Lepidolite retrograding (meaning it “alters” to a lithium-rich mica) while “crystal-clear” crystals are used primarily in gem cutting and jewelry. It is also a great alternative October Birthstone!

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES​

Super feminine energetic powers! Rubellite is an ultimate heart chakra stone. Helping your emotional well being and spirituality can open your heart chakra, giving peace and harmony. Love and spirituality go hand-in-hand and Rubellite encourages compassion and gentleness. Keep this variety of Tourmaline with you when you feel “off” or imbalanced emotionally. Rubellite is also a stone of friendship, sympathy and encouragement. From here

P.S. I also celebrated with a ring for mine, glad you're keeping-up the tradition, but mine was wood and diamonds
