"It's your fortieth anniversary, and you're probably having a hard time trying to figure out what to get her after forty years of shopping. You've given her thirty nine wonderful gifts throughout the year, and now it's your fortieth anniversary and you're wondering what can I give her? My name is Blake Kennedy, and I'm with Kennedy Brothers Estate Services, and I'm here to see if I can't help you out with that. On the fortieth year it's the ruby. That's right, the ruby. You might think you might have had to give her another diamond, but she's probably tired of diamonds now. She loves those diamonds, but it's time for a ruby. Rubies stand out beautifully on a lady's neck. If you can get her a ruby necklace, a ruby ring, even ruby earrings, if you can get her a whole set, because the price point on rubies is quite a bit different than the diamonds, but they are still the quality you want to look at for rubies. There are better quality cuts, so make sure when you're picking out that ruby you are first of all, buying a nice quality clear-cut ruby. So, if the price seems too good to be true ask em' if it was gemmed and how it was made. It might have been manufactured ruby. But check it out when you go to a jewelry. Go to a reputable jeweler and say I want to buy a nice ruby for my fortieth wedding anniversary. Good luck looking for that ruby. My name is Blake Kennedy. See ya' next time."
