I designed this ring and had it built for me by a jewellers in England. I cannot remember the carat weight of the rubellite to save my life but it measures approximately 10mm x 8mm - not a small stone. The side diamonds were originally studs and are 20pts each - both princess cut. I would guess G/H color (although the yellow gold gives them a warmer appearance) and at least SI clarity.
The rubellite is set into a white bezel. I am fairly certain it is platinum but in the UK they tend to stamp the piece with the lowest metal used so as the shank is 18k yellow gold, it only has a stamp of '18ct' and '750', but at the very least, the bezel is 18k white gold.
The entire piece is well made and solid - the shoulders are not hollowed out at all. It weighs in at 9g on my postal scale.
Size is about a 5.5 with sizing bumps to prevent spinning.
