It was me!! I think it would awesome with a ruby.....

You were my 3rd guess behind tricksi, sparklee! hehe...

Peachy pink moissy would look fabulous!

I voted ruby. It would be stunning

I vote KEEP,.
second choice would be peachy pink!!

One of each! Lol, that's no help, I know. But I just adore the darker stones, all of them...

ok, so majority say keep it, or switch to ruby or ceylon.

Thanks for all the input. I really want an old ring and I just have to find the right one. :)This one however is 4 sizes too big, but there aren't any stones on the shank. I'm hoping they can redo the shank? If so I think I'm gonna put this on layaway.

Ruby

I would say ruby first and any other stone with a lot of color like a tsavorite or a bright blue sapphire next. No surprise, as I like bright stones, but in particular in a ring with this much goldwork showing, I think a lighter stone like the one in there gets lost, but some love the look, but I voted ruby.

Having said that, if you want a more subtle look, then a lighter stone would do that, so I think it's more what effect you are going for..... bright - hey look at me... or soft subtle....
