How We Buy Rubies in Downtown Miami
Our showroom is in the historic Alfred I. DuPont Building at 169 East Flagler Street, Suite 905, in the heart of Downtown Miami's Jewelry District. Selling is by private appointment. You sit down with one of our gemologists, who examines your ruby under magnification, checks its color, clarity, cut and carat weight, looks for signs of treatment, and reviews any lab report or paperwork you bring. We then walk you through how we arrived at our offer. Your jewelry never leaves your sight during the inspection, and if you accept, you're paid the same day.
Vivid Diamonds & Jewelry was founded in Miami in 2010 by Alon Ruschin, a diamond wholesaler, and has been buying and selling fine jewelry, diamonds and colored gemstones from Downtown Miami ever since. Because we also sell fine ruby jewelry, we understand what rubies are worth in today's resale market — not just their melt value.
Why Miami Sellers Choose Vivid Diamonds for Rubies
- Gemstone expertise: rubies are evaluated by GIA Graduate Gemologists who understand colored-stone grading, treatments and origin.
- We pay for the ruby, not just the metal: your offer reflects the gemstone, any diamonds, the gold or platinum, the maker and the craftsmanship.
- Transparent offers: we explain which factors drive the value of your piece so you can decide with confidence.
- Immediate payment: same-day decisions on most items, paid on the spot when you accept.
- Private, secure appointments: discreet evaluations in our Downtown Miami showroom rather than a public counter.
- Established local buyer: buying and selling fine jewelry in Miami since 2010.

What Determines the Value of a Ruby?
Rubies are among the most valuable colored gemstones, but two rubies of the same size can be worth very different amounts. These are the factors that matter most when we price your piece:
- Color: the single biggest value driver. A rich, vivid, pure red with strong saturation is the most desirable; stones that lean pink, brown or too dark are worth less.
- Treatment: most rubies on the market are heat-treated, which is widely accepted. Unheated rubies with good color command significant premiums, while heavily treated stones, such as lead-glass-filled rubies, have far lower resale value.
- Origin: rubies from certain sources, particularly Burma (Myanmar), can carry stronger market interest when origin is confirmed by a lab report.
- Clarity: some inclusions are normal in rubies; eye-clean stones with good transparency are worth more.
- Cut & carat weight: a well-proportioned cut shows better color and brilliance, and fine-quality rubies over 1 carat become increasingly rare.
- Lab reports: a report from a recognized gemological laboratory documenting treatment and origin can strengthen your offer.
- Setting, brand & condition: diamonds in the setting, precious metal, designer signatures and original boxes or papers can all add value.
How to Get the Best Offer for Your Ruby Jewelry
- Take clear front, side and back photos in natural light on a neutral background.
- Photograph any hallmarks, maker's stamps and lab reports.
- Bring original receipts, appraisals, boxes and papers to your appointment.
- Don't try to clean or repair the piece first — we evaluate jewelry as-is, including damaged or broken pieces.
A Safer Alternative to Pawn Shops and Online Marketplaces
Pawn shops often price colored-gemstone jewelry by its gold weight, and online marketplaces mean meeting strangers, shipping valuables or waiting weeks for a buyer. At Vivid Diamonds you deal directly with a specialist buyer in a secure Downtown Miami office building, get an informed evaluation of the ruby itself, and leave with payment the same day if you accept.
Security & Privacy
Your safety and privacy come first. Evaluations take place privately by appointment in our Downtown Miami showroom, your jewelry stays in your sight during inspection, and payments are processed securely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Rubies in Miami
Where can I sell ruby jewelry in Miami?
You can sell ruby jewelry to Vivid Diamonds at 169 East Flagler Street, Suite 905, Miami, FL 33131, in the Alfred I. DuPont Building in Downtown Miami's Jewelry District. Visits are by appointment — call +1-305-722-2753 or start online.
How much is my ruby worth?
It depends mainly on the ruby's color, whether it has been treated, its origin, clarity, size, and the setting or brand. Because these factors vary so widely, we give a firm offer only after an in-person evaluation. Sending photos online first gives you a quick pre-evaluation.
Do I need a lab report to sell my ruby?
No. We buy certified and uncertified rubies. A report from a recognized gemological lab can help confirm treatment and origin and may support a stronger offer, but it isn't required.
Do you buy heat-treated rubies?
Yes. Most rubies on the market are heat-treated, and we buy them regularly. Treatment is one of the factors we explain when we make our offer.
Can I sell a single ruby earring, a broken piece or a loose ruby?
Yes. Single earrings, damaged settings, loose stones and estate pieces are welcome. Value depends on the gemstone(s), any diamonds and the metal.
How quickly will I be paid?
In most cases, the same day you accept our offer.
Do you buy other colored gemstones too?
Yes. We also buy emerald jewelry, sapphires and other fine gemstone jewelry, as well as diamond jewelry and gold jewelry.
Do you offer trade-in credit?
Yes — you can apply the value of your ruby jewelry toward a new Vivid Diamonds purchase or upgrade, including ruby earrings and custom jewelry.
