Hundreds of genuine jewellery items, from a few dollars to a few thousand, and profits help support animals. Unless directed otherwise, my profits go to Cats Anonymous, a charity I have supported and volunteered at for years. But, if you have an animal sanctuary you would prefer to support, please let me knowThis is a ruby bracelet, appraised by a master valuer for $ 325.00 retail replacement. There are less than 100 master valuers in all of Canada, and their appraisals of retail replacement are accepted by all insurance companies, unlike the highly inflated ones written to make you think you are getting a bargain when you are not. All our gems have been inspected by a qualified gemologist. Items with the word “Certified” in the heading have already been examined by one of Canada’s foremost appraisers .We work closely with one of Canada’s finest gemmologists, Lee R. Rock, FCGmA, RMV,CDG, CAP-CIA, a Registered Master Valuer, Accredited Appraiser, and one of the most respected gemologists in Canada. We will provide a copy of our appraisal, based on her findings, free of charge. The retail replacement value and description on our appraisal will be accurate ( we do not issue over inflated evaluations) But, for insurance purposes, you may require a copy of her appraisal. (Actually, we are finding that insurance companies usually accept our appraisals….but we cannot guarantee that) If you wish the master valuer to provide her appraisal with her seal, we can arrange it for $35 ( a regular $60 value) The master valuer described this as a bracelet with filled, treated rubies that are very slightly brownish, medium slightly purplish red. sltypR/5/3 . Retired, I make pendants from natural stone and gem stones and sell them to raise money for animal sanctuaries. I was also fortunate enough to be able to buy out a jewellery makers stock. I did not make the settings themselves, but in most cases have set stones into the settings. When I did not trust the strength of the sterling prongs, I used a jewellers glue as a precaution. Unless otherwise stated, the accent stones are well cut cz that give appearance of diamonds. The settings are sterling, with a Rhodium coatingIMPORTANT NOTES: Rhodium is a so called noble metal found with platinum, actually costing more than gold by the ounce. One of the most sought after looks today is white gold. Yet, gold is yellow. Even when mixed with other metals it still retains a yellow cast. The silver-white look people love is actually a thin coat of Rhodium placed over the top of the gold. So, a rhodium coat over sterling gives the look of white gold at a fraction of the cost. Of course, the rhodium also prevents tarnishing. Please be aware that high quality rubies and sapphires can sell for tens of thousands of dollars per carat, and are beyond our means to offer on this site. Indeed high quality rubies fetch more than diamonds of the same carat weight. Consequently, the rubies we offer, whist earth mined , are of a lesser quality, and have been enhanced in various ways. Ruby is part of the corundum family, and gets its red colour from the presence of chromium. The name ruby comes from the Latin word ruber, meaning red.I strongly urge people not to use sonic cleaners on any gem stone….but especially on rubies and sapphires that have been enhanced , as they can severely damage gems so treated. Ruby is the gem stone for the month of July.We offer a lifetime guarantee! For more info, please see the "Learn more about" link at the bottom of this page. .
