Help sourcing small pair of rubies

[dreamer_dachsie]

I am looking for a pair of 4mm rubies for a project. Can anyone point me to the best place to find these? Heated is fine. I just want *red* red rubies, not pinky-red

 

[dreamer_dachsie]

Here is a pair that look pretty, half way down. He says they are red with no pink. But they look a little windowed?

stock number ruby_536: http://www.gemfix.com/ruby.html

I went through all the pinned sites and didn't see anything.

You could always ask Gemfix about windows in that pair, or if they have any others.

Also, Dana's having a March sale, with mention of lots of "melee" type stuff, so maybe he'd have a pair?

Thanks. What is Dana's website?

He actually recently sold a 4 mm pair:

They do look a touched windowed but also wonder how apparent it would be in that size. Matched pairs are usually more of a challenge to find than single stones, unfortunately.

Hmmm. Maybe I will just see what my jeweler can locate for me. Thanks everyone!

Ed might have something that works-

You can contact him and he can hunt for what you need as well.

Holy crap, is that $1100 for a pair of 4mm stones! Wowza. That is way to rich for my blood.

Could you get by with 2.5mm stones?

No, it is for a setting I already own, they need to be between 4.0 and about 4.2 max!
