Nice. Looks like you are natural in picking synthetics vs natural gemstones. I personally would not have guessed. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta GIA GG

Thanks a lot! Do check our other ruby videos as well, which do go more into details about the other treatments. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

If it is a ruby and not 'composite ruby' glass or plastic, it is very difficult to scratch a ruby without another ruby, sapphire or diamond scratching with it. Of course if you hit hard enough in wrong angle it is possible, but again very rare and hard as rubies, sapphires (corundum family) are quite hard - in Mohs scale 9. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Yes they are visible with 10x gem loupe though you do have to practice and have some experience seeing it. Wish you the best of luck with your ruby purchase. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Thanks

Thank you so much for your kind words. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Thanks a lot! The actual ring looks even more stunning. Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Yes very similar indications for synthetic blue sapphires. We actually written a brief blog post regarding different synthetics which you can see here: www.buygemstone.info/difference-between-synthetic-and-natural-ruby-sapphire-emerald Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Thanks for sharing your experience. We used to live near there as well in Mahesak Soi 3 before the highway came there. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

This ring has already been custom made & sold. If you want something do feel free to message us at facebook.com/ThaiNativeGems or email us at sales@thainativegems.com. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Thank you!

Great question. When buying any gemstone one should always check the six criteria's (as shown below) before determining if the price is fair or not. a) Carat weight b) Color c) Clarity d) Cut e) Origin f) Treatments Gemstone certificate helps narrow down some of these criteria though it is not enough as you do have to judge the color & clarity yourself as the labs are not 100% accurate. Also the reputation of gem labs matters. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Very lucky indeed. The prices shown in this video is actually quite low compare to what blue sapphires are selling now, due the lack of supply. Thanks for sharing your experience. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

@@ThaiNativeGems Yeah! Recently bought 3 natural blue sapphires. One was 1.03ct, 1ct and 1.4ct. Bought them for dirt cheap. If you know where to look inside Sri Lanka. You can buy it for cheap. The best thing to do is networking. As much as possible.

We are located in State Tower, Bangkok - please note it's regular office and not jewelry shop - g.co/kgs/VPQqVi1

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much!!

We do have it in stock and you can email us at sales@thainativegems.com regarding the latest pricing. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

In Bangkok you will definitely have more 'serious' buyers compare to Myanmar, but because there is a lot suppliers as well they will negotiate to lower price as well, as they do have 'more options.' In the end it really depends on what type of gemstone and quality do you have. The more 'rare' and 'nice' the stone the better price you can fetch for it as they is always someone interested in buying it. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

We have done natural rubies in other videos in past. Sorry for not including it in this video. Links provided below: 1) ua-cam.com/video/ornjTJv9pl8/v-deo.html 2) ua-cam.com/video/XODG8dB6phE/v-deo.html Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Like any detective work we have to look at multiple clues to see if the stone has been subject to treatment or not. Blue cloud can be 'normal' color zoning or can be chemically diffused as well. If you see other clear unheated elements then most probably it is. Wish you the best of luck with your gemstone analysis. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Yes, they are heated with chemical diffusion - Beryllium treated.

And these prices are a lot cheaper then what blue sapphires are selling now in 'post-covid' world. 😂

So are you going to order from us soon! :)

Personally, I haven't heard of GRL. I actually wrote a blog post about different labs for gemstones which you can check out here: www.buygemstone.info/what-lab-or-certification-is-the-best-for-checking-your-expensive-ruby-sapphire-or-emerald/ In terms of color grading from the various labs (even the reputable one), I personally don't trust any of them as color is very subjective and generally 'vivid red' pigeon blood ruby is very specific color which 99% of all rubies don't fit this specific range. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

@@ThaiNativeGems THANK YOU SO MUCH, for your timely and informed AND easy to understand reply ! I did look at your linked article and it is a wealth of valuable info... I too am favoring the Lotus lab, i had a sapphire certified by them and it is more useful to me than the ruby certificate from GRS !

Really old, which I bought around 16 years back. I'm sure they don't sell this one anymore. You just need any good quality - Gem Testing Gemology LED Darkfield Microscope. Wish you the best of luck with gemology journey. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

Agree what you have stated. If you don't believe in 'astrological' properties then beryllium treated yellow sapphire is perfectly fine. In fact the color is stable and you don't have to worry about it fading, etc., However, you do have to take into account that these stones are not 'rare' and therefore you should not pay as much as a 'natural' yellow sapphire. In fact they are substantially cheaper. Scientifically, natural yellow sapphires get their color from trace element "Iron" and not "Beryllium." I have no issues with beryllium treated sapphires. The only issue I have is the sellers who selling these as a 'natural' yellow sapphire and asking them in similar price range even though they don't fit this category. Also the reason why I stated astrological reasoning in this video because a lot consumers in India do buy yellow sapphires for 'astrological' purposes and don't know what beryllium treated sapphires are and they do buy for this particular purpose. They believe yellow sapphire represents 'Jupiter' in their charts and believe buying these stones will make their luck or destiny change. Personally I don't believe in this either but again I am not judging anyone and just trying to educate people what the difference in treatments, and natural stones are. Thanks for your comments and thoughts. Best Regards, Tarun Gupta, GIA GG

@@ThaiNativeGems In the video (5:26) you say that due to the fact that it used to have another color , that is an issue for astrology purposes. it sorta do very much sounded like, it was the color that was the issue. you sound and act like a gentleman, i am sorry for attacking you Mr. Gupta. i have this detective living inside me, he have a need to explore and detect everything , even when its not a good outcome , he just MUST ask ALL the questions. sometimes we reach out and destroy things in our quest for exploring we are sorry. "They believe yellow sapphire represents 'Jupiter' in their charts and believe buying these stones will make their luck or destiny change. " im thinking, if astrology people want to use yellow beryllium treated sapphires for luck, or or destiny, you should have a scientific reason behind it when you say they can not. or else it become questionable and i want to ask if you are selling gems for a living.... it is like keeping someone away from true love cause you want a dollar no ? Thanks for good reply. - Per

Thanks!
