Hey all,
I’ve been looking at rubies on and off for a while now. While I’ve read tons on the internet, I find shopping a bit confusing. One place gets me untreated Burmese rubies at 5-10k per carat, but they only can get one or two stones at a time, making shopping frustrating. Another place gets me lots of stones, but when asking for a 1 carat stone in my price range they say nothing can be found that’s untreated.
I really just want to deal with an honest jeweler who can show me 10 or so rubies to choose from that are un-treated, well cut, about a carat, and between 5 and 10 k. Am I asking too much from my jeweler? Should I be looking at treated stones, or is my price range too low?
Does anyone know a great jeweler for colored stones in the Washington DC area? I want to get engaged!...... Any help would be appreciated.
