Why we only sell earth mined gems. RUBY. No indication of heating. Severely included. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. ANY questions, please ask. 99% of all rubies are heated to improve the clarity and it is totally accepted in the trade. Unheated are more expensive. Some treatments drop the value considerably. make sure you know what you are getting.
My selling prices are determined by a combination of my cost and the present retail replacement value. Many items were purchased decades ago when prices were considerably less. All my better gems and jewelry are kept at the bank for security. Retrieving may cause a day or two delay in shipping.
