Ruby roo...

Recommended Posts

Ruby doobie doo... not jack ruby or any old rube.  Not Rube goldberg, either.

Just two loose rubies, sent away to a New York jewelry designer.  They will become ear rings.

Why not?  It's not like the rubies had cost me anything.  They were gifts.  So, enhance the value by putting them to use.

Those aren't conflict stones are they?

I mean, they have GIA/EGL certs?

 

Certifying stones is very easy... The laser etching on the Stone can be lasered off or cut off.

In all honesty, it's more than likely most diamonds could be considered conflict stones in some sort of capacity.

Killjoy was the one I think that told me all about Stone.

I don't think they had been certified by anyone.  But to be practical, the jewelry designer has access to people who could evaluate them.

Authenticity, etc.

How much are you paying this designer?

Is it the same guy that made your chain?

Who gave them to you, I mean, the stones could be worth anywhere from $300-$3000, who just randomly tossed those around...

I wonder if it is a criminal offense to traffic in conflict stones?

When someone owns a lot of properties, money becomes stuff to toss around like cigars.

The designer said he would do the work just for the cost of the silver.

I have yet to meet a single successful person who tosses around money like cigars.

Silver?

Stones are fake.

Which successful people do that?

Only those who used to be destitute.  I knew this one way back when a Sony Trinitron and a busted up VW van were all he had to his name.

It is... But he don't care

So, if, say..... a crew of anonymously hired ex convicts were to visit a certain place and liberate a certain janitor of his conflict rubies...

...there would be no way to trace them, right?
