The price will grow and grow and grow as the demand increases and the rediculously rare drop rate remains the same and unlike Ecto or Shards, there is no one place that is confirmed to drop more rubies or sapphires than any other location. I for one have been playing for 15 months now I have gotten 1 sapphire drop and 0 rubies.
I don't think you can say that for sure just yet. We don't know as yet whether they increased the drop rate of gems with the release of Nightfall. They could drop from ruby and sapphire djins or be salavaged from their drops (ethereal armor & essences). Also, you can get them from trade contracts, which will drive the price down as more people get to Vabbi.
Also, does anyone one have male ranger 5k armor? The vest looks promising in the crafting icons, but I'm worried about the leggings.
