It's a Ruby, Pearl, Diamond day for meetings. Wearing the Ruby & Diamond bracelet DH gave me for Valentine's Day & a Pearl & Ruby ring, a birthstone combination of my birthstone & my son's.
^STUNNING! I love the delicate design on the bracelet. What a fabulous Valentine's Day gift. I have a passion for pearl rings, & yours is gorgeous.

Thank you. The bracelet was a complete surprise. The ring sits up high but the pearl is recessed into the crown of the setting giving it a good bit of protection. I love wearing it. I have a Tahitian pearl & blue Sapphire ring that is dome shaped that I wear quite a bit as well.

I think your setting is beautiful. I like the way the pearl is nestled down in the setting. I'd love the see your Tahitian pearl ring if you remember to take a pic the next time you wear it. I love my pearl rings, but keeping the pearl protected is on my mind the entire time I'm wearing them. For that reason, I only wear them on short outings. There's really no way to avoid exposing the pearl (or setting it in a way that's protective) in a ring setting since it's round.

Here's a picture of the Tahitian & blue Sapphire ring I took this past summer. The Sapphires are more blue IRL. It looks like there's an imperfection on the top of the pearl but it's a reflection. The pearl is about 9.5mm & has a flawless surface. I've had this ring for years.

Wow...that's beautiful! Again, I love the setting. The two settings remind me of each other. The style is very exotic; they show off their pearls to perfection. You've got a lot of the "oil slick" color in your pearl. I love that. Thanks for posting a pic for me.

I had the opportunity to buy the same ring as the Tahitian but in yellow Sapphires & a Golden South Sea pear. At the time, I could only justify buying one so I chose the Tahitian, but I'm kicking myself now for not buying both. I hope that one day, the GSS pearl & yellow Sapphire ring will pop up on a resale site or in a vintage, antique store.
