Please read my seller policies before buying.
This is a genuine earth mined 6.3 carat ruby, 13 x 10.7 x 4.5, The stone alone has a retail replacement of over $490US , as determined by an independent master valuer ($620.00 Canadian). Smaller stones in the setting are clear topaz. The pendant has an anti tarnish coating of rhodium( which also gives it the look of white gold) Rhodium, in the platinum family, is actually a lot more expensive than gold!

Any questions, Please ask. Better gems and gemstone jewelry items are kept in bank vault for security purposes and retrieving an item can take me a day or so, causing a slight shipping delay. I can provide a video of the ruby if requested.

Better gems and jewelry items are kept in bank vault for security purposes and retrieving an item can cause a slight shipping delay. I usually only visit the bank Monday mornings, and then ship UPS.

If you need in hurry, please contact me first and I will tell you if I can make a trip up to retrieve before the usual visit. Will try to help if I can.

"** IMPORTANT NOTES RE OUR GEMS AND SETTINGS":
1) Unlike other jewelers, I sell quality colored gems in silver rather than inferior quality colored gems in gold and diamond settings. I place even my more expensive gems in silver and use clear topaz wherever possible for melee accent stones . I have had a life long love affair with colored gems, and personally find diamonds grossly overpriced. They are NOT nearly as rare as people think. For many years supply and price were totally controlled by DeBeers. This has lessened to some degree, but prices are still artificially high. Both gold and silver are suitable for jewelry, with gold being slightly more durable, but many many times more expensive. Also, most people cannot tell rhodium coated silver from white gold. White gold gets its color from that same rhodium coating. I believe at my pricing you can always change to gold if you wish and still be far ahead financially.
2) All our gemstones are true gems, earth mined, not man made. EXPECT FLAWS! We provide unaltered pictures of the gem for you are very high magnification. Minor inclusions in any gem are not, as some think, a bad thing. They help a gemologist determine the authenticity of a gem. Man made gems are perfect.... but they are not real earth mined gems, and can be made in the millions, and do not increase in value. The difference between an original oil and a print. Supply and demand rules
3) Our settings are silver, and in most cases have a coating of Rhodium to prevent tarnishing, and give the appearance of white gold. Rhodium is actually more expensive than gold . In most cases, the smaller accent stones are clear topaz. Many of our stones deserve gold settings and diamond melee, but this would make them many times more expensive. You can always do this yourself if you wish.... you are paying much less than the retail replacement value of the gem without the setting.
4) Stones were in most cases set by volunteers helping us raise money for animal charities. EXPECT FLAWS! Often they leave prongs a little too long, do not get the stone exactly level, etc. etc. BUT. We are not charging you for the settings! Most people enjoy them "as is" and the flaws do not bother them, but if they bother you, have them exchanged for professionally mounted settings in gold and diamond. At least this way you can see how they will look. Most people appreciate this. Sorry if you do not.
5)Rings that have been coated in rhodium to prevent tarnishing can be relatively expensive to re-size, as they will need to be recoated. Also, a significant resize can cause a problem for accent stones, as the setting distorts and may make them become loose. Always check to see what your local jeweller will cost to resize BEFORE you buy. Better yet.... best to look for a ring your size that does not require significant change. Small changes are easy and cheap... indeed, you can buy adjusters and do yourself ( believe Amazon sells them.) I have a lot of rings to choose from.
6)Even smaller pictures, while more accurately showing how the gem looks to the naked eye, still show the gem MUCH larger than it is of course.... if you are not sure how big this is , make certain you check on a measure marked in millimeters... the standard for measuring gems.)
7) ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Even worse than the lab produced stones are the glass enhanced ones....almost worthless.
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.
