This ruby from Madagascar weighs 2.58 carats and is NOT glass filled. There is a massive amount of glass-filled ruby on the market now and it is not durable; if your jeweler attempts to fix a prong with his torch the glass filling will soften and run out. This gemstone is flux-healed- a durable treatment that will last your lifetime and your heir's lifetime and their heir's lifetime- ad infinitum. Flux-healed ruby is not as expensive as unheated ruby but is a superb choice if you want a rare, beautiful, durable ruby with natural color.  Because of the shape this ruby is very versatile and could easily become a magnificent pendant or a very alluring ring in either white or yellow gold- or platinum for the most discerning individual. Of course we also offer palladium for those who think outside the box!  This ruby would make a magnificent gift for someone born in July! Ruby is the traditional birthstone for the month of July and very few people own such a beautiful example of this rare stone.  This Madagascan ruby is $299 per carat and for a minimal additional charge you can get an independent laboratory report. Large size, emerald shape, and intense red color make this natural ruby a superb value. If you have any questions about this stone or would like to know more about my company please stop by our website: http://tiptopgem.com/My wife and I maintain a residence in Bangkok and in northwest Ohio (near Toledo) and we would be happy to serve you. We source gemstones in Thailand and also build custom jewelry here using only the most quality-conscious artisans who produce heirloom quality pieces at a highly competitive cost. I am not only a jeweler but also a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) and as such I am qualified to answer your questions about gemstones physical properties, treatments, and origin. Fewer than one in 100 jewelers in the West are Graduate Gemologists- most have no formal training at all in gemology. If you are looking for an emerald, ruby, sapphire, tsavorite garnet, tanzanite, or any other colored gemstone please get in touch with me. I would be happy to serve you. Gemstones are my passion and I love my work so it is not a chore for me to answer any questions that you might have. ~Dave ~~~Sorry the emerald shape ruby has been sold~~~ |

Gold is at $1536 per ounce. If you are thinking of making some fine jewelry you may not want to wait too long! As the government prints more and more money gold is likely to rise, as is silver. The ratio of the price of gold to the price of silver ($35.68 per ounce) is 43:1 which some analysts indicate is a bullish ratio for silver.

KGO- my guess is that Silvertowne in Winchester, Indiana would be a better place to get custom sliver rounds. Give them a call! http://www.silvertowne.com/ |

I would be happy to send you two my pricing and policies document if you are interested in working up an estimate. Just send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will get right back to you.

Certainly Yankee! Either with or without a bezel. Maybe like this with a bitcoin in the center?  |

Posession??? Bwahahahahaha! I possess a cunning wit as well; perhaps they will pass a law making my humor illegal. Maybe we could save the authorities some time and call encryption illegal on personal computers. Because if you have an encrypted folder you could well have bitcoins in it.
Unlikely that the courts will reach this far into our privacy without massive repercussions.

I am a custom jeweler in Bangkok and a GIA Graduate Gemologist. Please take a look at some of the jewelry that my company has produced recently and let me know if you are interested in a special piece of bitcoin jewelry. You will find many examples of our work in the gallery: tiptopgem.comWe have superb CAD artists who can produce a rendering of your piece so you can make modifications before it is born. We use the finest wax artists to produce your model by hand or for very intricate pieces our resin-printing capabilities are unparalleled. We can make a ring, pendant, earrrings, or any type of custom jewelry you would like. We have extensive experience with platinum and white and yellow gold as well as sterling silver and palladium. Because we are based in Asia our labor costs are very low compared to custom jewelers in the West. Inquire about pricing and I will send our prices and policies document to your e-mail. Let me know if you want to be added to our newsletter list- we send about ten times per year and I try not to be boring!!! We would be thrilled to work with you on a custom project to build a very special piece of bitcoin jewelry that is heirloom quality. If you want to see a wide array of our work, add me- "David Fortier" on Facebook. I have a cocktail ring as my avatar so I will be easy to recognize. As a gemologist living in Thailand I have access to the finest blue sapphire, ruby, tanzanite, and emerald that the wholesale markets have to offer. Seventy percent of all colored gemstones sold in Western retail markets travel through Thailand on their way to the consumer. I specialize in cutting the supply chain short and selling direct to consumers in Europe, Australia, Japan, and North America. All of our gemstones can be examined by reputable laboratories- reports are available for any gemstone you buy. You can choose the lab- GIA, GRS/Swisslab, GIT, AIGS, Tokyo Gem Lab, etc. You can feel confident in a third-party assesment of your purchase. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a note at: dave@tiptopgem.comThank you! David Fortier, GG Tiptopgem.com |

Just like the economy is built on small business, bitcoin will be as well. Small businesses have no power to buy politicians or judges- we can only work hard and produce quality for as many clients as possible. If you really want to help bitcoin, go to my website and look at the ticker. Choose one of the businesses there to patronize. Every bitcoin that you spend helps strengthen the bitcoin economy. The more money that is spent with bitcoins the stronger the infrastructure becomes, the more growth you will see in the currency and acceptance, and the stronger reward business has for being brave enough to stick their necks out to be on this list. http://tiptopgem.com/ |
