Natural Ruby?

[arkieb1]

This is a bag of loose Vintage and Antique garnets;



You can see they are the same colour mostly as your ring stone. I've picked out a dark red (dark ruby coloured) oval, I think it should be pretty similar to your ring stone;



You are more than welcome to have it if you pay for the shipping which depending upon where you live will be around $20 to $25.00USD from Australia where I live to where ever you live.

That's so generous, Arkie, thank you! It's shocking how similar they look to the 'ruby' I was looking at. Do all garnets have an orange glint when put to the light? On one of the pics, the ring I was looking at has some pink/red, but looks like the seller took the photo with lots of light coming through.

I have two rings with garnets but they're smaller than yours - amazing collection! I've never been tempted by lose stones before but it must be great to have such a collection of them.

Lovedogs, that is a charming little ring. The fact that the seller says heat only strongly suggests that he/she has obtained some sort of certification. You could ask. But hurry, I am tempted, cert. or no.

You should not assume that this is the case. Plenty of antique sellers just loupe it and assume unheated or heat only, without submitting their goods to be tested in a lab. Some of them will offer a refund if the buyer sends it to a lab and it tests otherwise, but you should not assume that all vendors will only make a claim on the treatment of the gem after getting the gem tested at a lab with the equipment required to distinguish between heat-only and heat-with-diffusion.

haha it's all yours! But @voce is right, I wouldn't assume that the seller has a cert. It's often just someone's own opinion when vintage pieces are involved.

at the price you're paying more for the gold than the stone. it doesn't look like a ruby to me but I'm not an expert.

Rest assured, I wouldn't take their word for it, and wouldn't actually buy it without asking to see the report. But I have seen plenty of uglier pieces with shadier pedigrees for more money than this.
