That should be easy to find, 4x2 ruby baguettes are a calibrated size. The jeweler who is setting your ring should be able to find them for you. If not try one of the Pricescope vendors like winfield''s or niceice. Post pics when you''re done. I''m curious to see how it turns out.

ruby bags and black center is going to be stunning. I like it more than rubies and emeralds.

well one of the jewelrs i contacted emailed me today and gave me prices. for an A ruby he wanted 250
for A+ 275
A++ 300. is this right for a 4x2 bag cut?? i don''t really want to spend 1800 on side stones but if thats the genral cost i may have to do so.

any sugestions?

i have contacted others but nothing from them yet i don''t expect to hear from them till monday

I'd probably get estimates from Wink and Michael E (gem shoppe.) If you want fine, amazing red rubies, yes, they can cost you, but I don't know how much.
