Ruby. Master Valuer appraised .Retail replacement is for bricks and mortar stores with high overheads. Note: My selling price is determined by what I had to pay. and is always well below retail replacement. I bought directly from the source ( no middlemen) and I have no overheads. Makes a huge difference! As I have already partially paid for the appraisal, a signed and sealed copy of the master valuer appraisal can be sent to you for an additional $20 cost. Will be sent from Mr. Knight's office. Takes about a week

Ruby. More expensive that diamond at times. The most expensive ruby to my knowledge is the 25.59 carat Sunrise Ruby which sold at auction in 2015 for $30,420,000.00. Rubies wholesale to the trade today for approx. $70 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $35,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. The price goes up to well over $100,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup. My price is always much lower than the retail replacement figure used by brick and mortar stores: I bought my gems directly from the source, not through various middlemen. Huge difference,

Sapphires and rubies are the same, other than the color.
Hindus consider ruby very spiritual.... believe the red comes from an eternal flame that no human can extinguish.
Believed to put fire into one's life, and bring economic prosperity. Ruby is the birthstone for those born in July.

Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.
