LOL, I'm glad someone asked because I was thinking the same thing. If I was in the market for an expensive loose stone would I let someone else pick one and ship it to me?

How do you like the wide band ruby ring for $600.00....I am not sure if I like it or not...I would like it better in a lighter background, I think....

If I feel the need to spend that much money on a stone, I really would need to see the cut, the color, and the clarity IN PERSON before making my final decision to buy it.

IMO it's overpriced.

I do love rubies, though, but my favorites are Burmese rubies. I like the ruby red color of Burma rubies more than the purplish color of Thai rubies.

I do like Kanchanaburi sapphires, though, so it is a region for really nice stones. I have some Kanchanaburi sapphires that are absolutely brilliant with a perfect shade of blue and very nice clarity.

....why it's just $327 a day! Why you'd spend that in a month on coffee and a danish.......

Unless that ruby was graded as exceptional quality that price is way too high. And given the fact that Thai rubies lack of fluorescence and silk inclusions, they are rarely rated as exceptional.

I think I'll wait until it becomes a Lunchtime Special.

When I saw this presented with Alberti last night, I couldn't see ANY hint of blue at all; it was all black. Kanchanaburi sapphire has a nice saturated blue hue (my favorite color of sapphire). This piece here looks like what it was once called MIDNIGHT SAPPHIRE:

Yikes, really! That would have been a stunning ring if the sapphires were appropriately blue.

My birthstone is Ruby so of course I went to buy one . When I put it in my cart it said they don't do anything over $9,000 and the order had to be placed by phone. Of course I did it only to see what would happen as it stated order up to 5, I wanted to see if they really had five of these in stock as it is supposedly rare, etc. What a joke, I would think only a Burmese ruby would be worth that much and only because they're illegal in the US.

You can't order the ruby online. The Q only processes orders under $9,000 without calling customer service.

I tried to put one in my cart.

I missed the presentation. Did they actually sell any? Does anyone know? I'm kind of shocked to see them even offering something like it on QVC.
