I am in search of ruby stud earrings for my daughter who will be graduating High School this year and going off to college. This is a big accomplishment as she is on the autism spectrum. She doesn't ask for much- the only gift ever requested was a specific rose gold scientific calculator one year, and I know she will wear them for years to come. She wears fake ruby studs given to her as a young child which are so awful, but she wears them. She mentioned once that one day she would get real rubies. I want to get her real rubies....her current earrings are 5mm round and so I would like to have them be at least that size. A local (overpriced) jeweler brought in 5mm rubies which were not great color or size for the money, and so I have begin searching online but cannot figure out who is reputable. When I lived outside NYC, I would go to 47th street and always feel I received a fair deal...but where I am is leaving me with only the ability to spend way too much for too little.
Can someone tell me if there are trustworthy on line jewelers? I have read mixed reviews of GemsNY although they do not offer AGL cert, only GIA. I know that I will need to spend about $3,000 but I want to make sure I am getting the most quality for the spend. Any advice is appreciated.
