Gemstones FAQ’s

Which gemstones are the most valuable?

The most valuable gemstones are typically diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. Their value depends on several factors, including colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight, with rare stones often being the most expensive.

To determine if a gemstone is genuine, request a certificate of authenticity from a reputable gemological laboratory, such as GIA. Certified gemstones have been thoroughly tested for their authenticity.

Gemstones are graded by gemologists based on the Four Cs: colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight.

  • Colour: The colour of a gemstone is evaluated by assessing its hue, tone, and saturation.
  • Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of inclusions or blemishes on the stone. Gemstones with fewer or no visible inclusions are considered of higher quality.
  • Cut: The cut of a gemstone determines how well it reflects light. A well-cut stone is perfectly proportioned, symmetrical and beautifully polished so that the highest amount of light can enter and reflect out of it.
  • Carat weight: Carat weight measures the size of a gemstone. While carat weight is an important indicator of a stone’s value, all Cs must be considered equally.

Gemstones are cut through a precise process designed to enhance their natural beauty, brilliance, and shape. First, the stone is split or sawed into smaller pieces. Then, it is shaped (pre-formed) using a grinding wheel which gives it its basic outline. After that, each facet is carefully cut and polished at specific angles to reflect light and create sparkle.

For everyday wear, gemstones with a rating of 7 or above on the Mohs scale are often recommended because they are highly durable and resistant to scratches. These include diamonds, sapphires, rubies, topaz and quartz. Opting for these harder gemstones will ensure your jewellery lasts longer with minimal maintenance.

Use a soft brush to clean your gemstones with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing too hard. When it comes to storing your stones, keep them separate from one another in a soft-lined pouch or box to prevent any scratching and damage.
