*THIS IS A BIDORBUY HIGH VALUE CRAZY PROMOTION. NO RESERVE WHATSOEVER! GOOD LUCK!*
A important maximum bid guidline for investors bidding on this auction: This particular ruby is only an excellent short-term investment if purchased at 14% (+-R2494.00), or less of current retail value. Currently 16% of retail value is what the average retail jeweller would pay gem dealers like ourselves, for a ruby identical to, or very close to the size, colour, clarity, of this high value Bidorbuy promotional ruby, when required for stock. A collector interested in a ruby such as this would pay slightly more, but will seldom exceed 20% of retail value, therefore, if this ruby is purchased as a long-term investment one shouldn't bid more than a conservative 18% of retail value.
This Ruby is 100% natural, 100% UN-HEATED, and has undergone no treatment whatsoever. It has been estimated that Unheated Rubies constitute less than 1% of all rubies on the market today. Unheated Rubies increase in value every year, and have trade values many times higher than heated rubies. When it comes to rubies, collectors and investment buyers are to a large extent only interested in buying unheated rubies. A magnificent investment jewel. Ideal to set in an extravagant 18ct gold or Platinum jewellery item, or simply to appreciate as is in your rare jewel collection.
