Use craft glue to attach the gems in whatever pattern you desire - alternating colors, shapes, or sizes adds great visual interest.
Let the gems dry without being disturbed so they do not slide out of alignment.
Gluing the gems at the top and the ribbon at the bottom is usually preferred so the ribbon will hide melted wax as a candle is burned.
Fill the interior space between the walls of the votive cup and the larger container with loose gems, but keep the level of loose gems slightly below the top rim of the votive holder.
Insert the votive candle into the holder where it will coordinate with the gems.
This is a great project because it is fast and easy to do, and the faux gems and colored candle can easily be changed to match different decorations or holidays.

Diamonds are by far the most popular choice, but it is possible to customize a three stone ring with other gems.

Some women prefer colored stones, and using different gems allows the couple to customize a ring with personal symbolism and sentimentality, such as using birthstones or other favorite gems.
