I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY RING! I WAS SO NERVOUS OPENING THE BOX. I KEPT THINKING, I HOPE THAT I AT LEAST "LIKE IT"....I DON'T HAVE TO LOVE IT, BUT I HOPE I LIKE. I WAS WONDERFULLY PLEASED SEEING MY NEW RING AND I LOVE IT. I CAN'T KEEP THE SMILE OFF OF MY FACE. I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING YOURSELF IN MY SHOES AND SEEING TO IT THAT I GOT A RING THAT I WILL TRULY WEAR FOREVER! THANK YOU.

From the color of royalty to the color of revenge, the Black Prince’s Ruby also has a storied past. The 170-carat rough-cut spinel made its first appearance in 1367 when Don Pedro "The Cruel," King of Castile, murdered the ruby’s owner. Needing rescue from his enemies at the Battle of Nagera, Pedro gave the ruby to Edward, Prince of Wales, as payment for Edward’s help. Three centuries after it was acquired by Pedro and King Charles I’s execution, the ruby was wrapped in plain paper and sold for £4. Some three centuries later, it was then given back to the British Monarchy where the Black Prince’s Ruby is the giant ruby set on the front cross pattée of the British Imperial State Crown.
