Shopping For Emerald Cut Ruby Rings
If you are looking for emerald cut ruby rings then you would do well to try and find what you want at one of the many Online jewelry retailers. A place known as Ross Simons has a particularly good name and have many pieces that can’t be found anywhere else. The designs they have in stock changes all the time as rings get sold but if you know what you are looking for then there is bound to be something that catches your eye. The only downside is that their exclusivity means that they are more expensive than many of us can afford.
For cheaper rings that look almost as good you might want to try lab created rubies instead. You can pick these up really cheap and you will even find many examples which are set in gold for well under $200. Lab created gems are so good these days that you will be the only person that knows your little secret.
African Rubies
If you still want the real thing but aren’t willing to pay the highest prices then you always have the choice to opt for African rubies. The African ladies ruby rings come from Tanzania and you can get a fairly decent stone for about $100 and then have it mounted. Remember that these rubies will have heavy inclusions, in other words they are not usually flawless or clear or of the highest clarity or color. African gemstones of the sapphire family are more often treated or enhanced. So be careful, but it is possible to have a larger gem that can be cut into an emerald shape for a very affordable price if you go with the African or Afghan stones. Remember that genuine ruby emerald cut ring designs will require a larger ruby than usual. Emeralds cuts are large and rectangular and the very finest ones are thousands of dollars. Check out places like Star Rubies and Simply Sapphires for more information and prices…these companies deal with African not Asian gemstones. A fully set 3 carat Nigerian ring with an emerald cut ruby can cost as little as $1,400, which sounds like a lot but is half the price of a Burmese ruby ring in a similar cut and design and gold mounting. You can get a Tanzanian ruby in a similar cut and design, but up to 4 carats in weight, for about the same $1,400. These are not pigeon blood red rubies but raspberry colored stones.
