BACK IN THE 1980'S I HAD A JEWELRY STORE IN TUNKHANNOCK PENNSYLVANIA. I HAD A WONDERFUL JEWELER THAT WORKED FOR ME THAT DESIGNED AND MADE HIS OWN PIECES. HE OFTEN ORDERED LOOSE STONES FOR HIS DESIGNS AND I HAVE BEEN SAVING SOME TO PUT IN SETTINGS AND AT THIS POINT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET AROUND TO IT. THIS STONE IS A RUBY TRILLION AND IS 1.05CT. PAPER IT IS IN SHOWS WHAT I PAID WHOLESALE. BEAUTIFUL STONE AND GREAT COLOR.
