Natural Red Melee/Accent Diamond (or Natural Ruby)??

[brenn4423]

Does anyone know where one can get a single 2-5 point (0.02-0.05 ct) natural red diamond? Is it possible to find these anywhere? I know red is super rare - how much would something of this small size cost?

Also, a similiar question, does anyone know where to find the same size red natural ruby?

Usually you need to buy these things from the person making your ring. Red diamonds I would assume are very expensive, as are natural very nice ruby.

Have you considered red spinel? Much cheaper and it is likely to be a lot nicer than most of the ruby you''ll see.

A natural red diamond, even one of that size is so rare it will probably exceed the cost of the entire rest of your ring; they are really just not available. However you can get a beautiful red ruby for an accent; even a very nice quality one in that size should not be too expensive.
