I agree. I own several fancy/vivid yellow diamond pieces and your diamond looks more like a low color diamond. I love the setting but don't want you to get ripped off with the stone. Of course I may be wrong...hard to calibrate color on a computer and yellow diamonds do come in a vast variety of shades. A Pigeon Blood Ruby is the most sought after color variety of a ruby gemstone. Hard decision...keep up posted.

I am absolutely loving all your opinions!!!
Thank you all so much.
I will definitely keep you posted and I may go back today to see both in different light.
Oh...and the GIA certification on the diamond says it is fancy yellowish-brown. To my eye I see a tiny bit of pink/peach in the brown but my jeweler says no it’s solidly brown that it’s picking up that tone from the metal. I always thought I disliked brown stones but this one is so charmingly chunky and perky that she may change my mind!!!!

So my wonderful jeweler who has spent a ton of patient time with me let me take her home to make sure she’s the one!I gotta say the sparkle on this 2.50 chunky Mine Cut Diamond is crazy. She throws off yellow, peach and coral whenever she feels like it.
Effortlessly.
We looked super closely at her under a loupe at his bench and I know exactly where the inclusion is and I gotta say I’m fine with it (and I’m a person that inclusions really bother me, I’m very clarity sensitive). So she and I are going to get better aquainted this weekend and I’ll let you all know how the bonding proceeds and if that ruby still haunts me or not!!
Just a quick shot of profile so you get an idea of how chubby she is. The culet is visible through the undergallery of the basket and her table sits way up over the prongs.

Yes, it’s very late Deco or very early 40’s with single cut and mine cut stones. No filigree. But bold lines and antique stones. Perhaps not strictly 1910-1920’s but very close!
I'm late to this thread but I was going to say SASSY-- Art Deco! It's unique and fun and looks good on your finger. I'm not usually a fan of brown but this ring is just incredible. Congrats and wear in great health!

I think you’ve made a good choice, so interesting to look at! The ring absolutely does not look too big on your finger (such a subjective opinion). Unless it’s too loose and might slip off of your finger, if that’s the case and if it’s heavy then should be resized.

I vote diamond. The Burma ruby is nice, but it looks too dainty and does not have a presence. I prefer big bold rings. The diamond art deco ring looks amazing on you.
