What should I check before buying rubies?+
Check the hallmark against UK Assay Office records, verify any GIA or IGI certificate number online, and ask for clear close-up photos of any marks, serial numbers and wear. Meet in person where possible, and keep all messages and payment records inside JewelleryTrader.
