Cheapest Rubies Wholesale
For ruby lovers finding the cheapest rubies wholesale is a good way to accumulate genuine natural ruby gemstones.
Ruby comes from the Latin. “ruber”. Rubies are a form of corundum, which is a colorless mineral. The red color you see in Burmese Rubies is as a result of small traces of chromium within the ruby.
Most, and the best, natural ruby gemstones come from Burma. Rubies from the Mogok Valley are considered to be the finest in the world and are much sought after by wealthy ruby lovers. Other fine quality rubies are obtained from Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania, India and Sri Lanka. But the Thailand rubies have a darker color and not as much intensity as the Burmese. Of course, India is famous for the Indian Star Ruby.
The cheapest rubies wholesale are probably those you might get online. Actually, by definition wholesale means one would have to be a trader and buy in quantity to get wholesale prices. However, dealers and sellers get around that by saying that the prices they offer are ‘wholesale’ prices. They are not selling wholesale, just at the price a wholesaler would sell at. A fine point but sufficient to attract buyers keen to get rubies cheaper.
When you go seeking rubies at a wholesale price then, you will need to really check and compare the prices offered. Some are not actually cheaper than a ‘retailer’, as of course dealer selling at wholesale prices is really a retailer anyway.
But some do offer a cheaper price. So the next thing to look at is the quality. Can the dealer guarantee these are genuine natural ruby gemstones? The pictures you see are not necessarily the picture of that particular ruby. Each ruby us different and no two are the same. You want to know the source of the ruby. Is it Burmese? Or from elsewhere? Is it a natural ruby? For genuine natural
rubies the seller should display all the information about that ruby.
The price per carat: A carat is 0.2 grams
Dimensions: usually measured in millimetres
Clarity: How much inclusion is in the gemstone
Shape: What shape or cut the ruby is
Make ; Basically how it is cut.
Symmetry: this will affect the brilliance so should be at least good
Treatment: Most rubies undergo heat treatment. This should be indicated.
Identification: A certificate from a independent GIA or other geological institute.
The price, of course, should reflect the quality of the ruby. It is a bit of a misnomer to say one can get cheapest rubies wholesale. The quality, size and cut of the ruby is probably more important when it comes to natural rubies.
