This is my smallest ruby at 1.78 carats. It is from Madagascar. It did not cost 14k per carat. It has Lotus cert stating that it is vivid red. Why is it surprising I did not post? I would usually want to be private. I have not seen a lot of you post great examples of your claims either. I did say I was moving on, since there really can be no response for anyone who wishes to pay 14 k usd for a 1 carat fine ruby.That is an interesting answer and arguably not a very friendly one. Whatever. I never said that 14k is the norm, I just said there is nothing fine (as in, top quality) below 10k per carat. Orangy red rubies from Mozambique certainly cost less than 10k per ct, but are not what I would call fine rubies.
And ugly rubies can also be fluorescent.

I am now going to give this some rest. Spend what you deem fit.
