Okay so. This might be long. Forgive me for it, I'm excited.
I've been stalking this ruby for forever. Seeing how prices have been skyrocketing, I've been wanting to get it for months but only now have the free funds. And there's also the concern that I probably won't be able to find another that is like this one and at that price. It's 1,75ct at a smidgen over 1500 euro. I adore the colour.
It's currently on hold for me, so I can freely share the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1057625824/on-hold-natural-ruby-175ct-standard-heat
The stone is GFCO certified as heated with minor residues and I have received a photo of the certificate. I know what minor residues mean and I'm okay with it. I'm wondering if it makes sense to have the stone certified a second time by either AIGS or Lotus. I also have no idea which of these two to choose.
The seller sent me a couple of additional photos when I put it on hold and I'm sharing those:
I'm also expecting more photos in different light and I'll share them when I receive them. The listing says the ruby is redder than the photos show but in these two above it is definitely more towards raspberry. I am completely okay with that as I actually prefer it to be pink rather than red.
So, tell me what you think and if I'm missing something. Are there any other questions I need to still ask?
