When Did recession start and when did it end- Live report from 46^th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Show- Unheated Lot of Burma Rubies- Lowest Grade starts at $3000 per carat and the Highest Grade at $9000 per carat- Where Will the common man who needs Gem Therapy the most afford these! And those consultants who recommend a 5 carat Ruby to the ignorant buyer should watch their step!

It is the 3^rd day of the 46^th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Show and this fair evokes mixed feelings. Even though no major deals are happening the prices of natural gemstones are still going higher. This substantiates the fact that Gemstones are the best investment-better than stocks, land, gold or bullion but that story is for later!

The Asia Pacific Buying division of Gemstoneuniverse.com is participating in the show and our patrons who are attending the show and those who are in Thailand are welcome to meet us.

Coming back to the main subject of this report is this rare lot of Burma Rubies (Please see attached pic).  Each one of this pear shaped Imperial Pigeon Blood Burma Rubies has a Gem clarity grade of VV2 or higher. The lowest priced Ruby in this lot is $3000 per carat and the highest one is $9000 per carat.  Hence average price of this lot will be roughly around $6000 per carat (INR 3, 00,000 per carat). Think about it dear patrons- When this price is for hard seasoned professionals who have been able to get this price after hectic negotiations where does the normal individual with no background in Gemology stand. Each of these lovely miracles of nature is certified by GRS and the GIA.

We receive many calls from patrons who do a lot of research on the internet but have never seen or felt a natural ruby in their hand and when these patrons ask for specifics such as Imperial Pigeon Blood color it becomes so difficult to explain.

In addition there are many Astrologers with no knowledge of gemology and no knowledge of the sacred text either who mindlessly give recommendations such as wear a 5 carat Ruby. Here see the truth- it is in front of you.

If you see the natural Ruby inventory at Gemstoneuniverse the average price is $575 per carat( INR 28,750/-) . Don’t Let these go. They will be super effective for Gem therapy and remember we have listed them at this price because we are devoted to the cause and some of the finished rubies in our online inventory was fashioned from the rough that we owned ourselves.  Our online Ruby inventory can be viewed online at the link below:

Remember we told you some months back that we procured a small lot of White Sapphires that was totally natural and unheated after 2 years- we meant it.

Come to the show yourself and among more than a thousand suppliers get us 1 yes you are reading right 1 White Sapphire that is unheated and untreated and weighs above 2 carats. Same for the Natural Burma ruby, Give us a Burma Ruby that is certified Natural above 2 carats below $3000 per carat and we will buy from you.

This report has been written with you in mind. Yes many conclusions come out of this report –Gems as an investment tool and most importantly the future of Natural Unheated Ruby now is Mozambique and Madagascar ruby. Get them while the prices are low.

We at Gemstoneuniverse will still continue to work harder for our dear patrons! Many more pictures from our stall and other reports from the show in a couple of days!

God Bless!
