minus-squareEvilsmileyEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down0·1 year agolinkfedilinkhttps://cascadejewels.com/ I searched lab grown rubies and these guys seem to be pricing near to that cost. They seem legit from a cursory search but i haven’t looked that deep.
minus-squaregravitas_deficiencyEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down0·1 year agolinkfedilinkRight? A dime is a touch over 18mm, and prices I’ve been able to nail down on a couple sites for artificial rubies of that size, while way less than terrestrial rubies, cannot be considered ”cheap” - we’re still talking thousands of dollars.

minus-squarewahmingEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down0·1 year agolinkfedilinkYeah, if anybody finds these cheap rubies do let me know, I’d love to buy them
minus-squareEvilsmileyEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down0·1 year agolinkfedilinkI’ve seen youtubers that bought reject sapphire from the f-35 cockpits that had some minor flaw in some place that disqualified it. I think you can buy reject batches of artificial ruby for indilustrial applications too.
