Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ruby parcel lot and how is it priced?
A ruby parcel lot for jewelry making and wholesale gem buying is a grouped set of stones sold together by total carat weight, typically at a lower per carat price for natural ruby loose stones than individually certified gems — ideal for jewelers sourcing untreated ruby melee for multi-stone and pavé settings.
Can oval and round cut rubies be mixed in the same jewelry piece?
Yes — mixed cut ruby parcel for halo cluster and channel jewelry settings is a well-established technique; oval cut ruby as center stone with round ruby melee surround works effectively in rings, earrings, and custom multi-stone ruby bracelet or pendant commissions.
Why buy untreated rubies from Afghanistan over commercially heat-treated stones?
Untreated Afghanistan ruby vs commercially heat treated ruby retains its natural chromium-driven color origin, commands stronger resale value for natural ruby gemstones on the secondary market, and is preferred by collectors and laboratories for GIA or AGL natural ruby origin certification and investment grading.
