Thank you for an enlightened presentation, I love precious gems especially emeralds, aquamarines, sapphires, rubies and spinels but can't afford natural stones; however, top-quality lab created versions are plenty good for me. Thanks!
@@YourAverageJeweler I am curious, about how much is the mark up typically on a jemstone , a good quality one such as an alexandrite 1 carat mined in Brazil? I would like to purchase one just wondering for wiggle room on the price. Thank you thank
Hello, your videos have been incredibly informative. I'm from Pakistan and I have access to a wide range of natural gemstone mines. I was researching getting into export/trade of direct from mine gemstones. Great explanations! 👍
Great, informative video! Something I'm curious about though - I'd love to hear how big an influence the cut makes on a gemstone, especially with commercial cutting where a gem is cut primarily for weight, vs when a gem might have a more beautiful cut, but as a result has lower carats. Is the loss of carats worth the more beautiful cut? Would also love to hear a bit more about how fantasy cut gems are priced.
When buying the gem through from primary market, they will usually cut them for highest weigh as you say. The best foriegn cutter will find a good middle ground. So the trick is to simply look for the best quality material overall, in the largest sizes you can get, and then a boutique gemcutter can "recut" the stone for you with a top -of-the -line cut for around $75.
Thank you soo much for thos beautiful video.i Would like to go on business for Emeralds.can you please make a video about it.deviding the qualities and its pricing? Thank you
Once I bought a large (they called it "pigeon blood" lmao) ruby from a very dubious seller on eBay. The dye it was treated with came off in my hands 😭 ... because I wanted to see what would happen, I submerged it in a cup full of water that I changed daily to see how much of the dye I could remove. The water kept turning pink as far as I could remember until I got rid of it. I think it was still an actual ruby, just a very dull (read: grayish) colored one, as I tried to scratch it with a quartz piece and it did not leave a mark. also: blue topaz is treated?? I had no idea!!
Does the technology exist to determine if a gemstone has been treated. For example if a sapphire set in a heirloom piece of jewelry was being appraised without original paperwork?
I have a gemstone ( Emerald, Sapphire, Beryl) that I bought from auction . It is appraised and certified by GLA. I need to sell them but I don't know where to sell them. Do you have any idea of website where I can markert it?
If you deal in gemstones you either sell at gem and jewelry shows or "go on the road." If you are only selling individual stones, it will be much more difficult getting a higher value. The dealers are having to wait for the right buyer, and they have a broader "audience." If it was appraised by the same lab that "certified" it, the value was likely heavily inflated for insurance by design. Depending on your expectation and the perceived value, it may be very hard to sell if you are not a dealer. best of luck
Could you make a video about Neon Blue Paraiba Tourmalines. I have some certified from Brazil and know so far these are the most sought after and expensive of all the neon blues out there. I was mainly interested about price per carat for the paler neon blues to price per carat for the the ones with a greener tinge. I know the more greener back colour the more expensive. Apparently with these specific stones, any other secondary colour doesn't affect the price, only the green hues do. Some actual example of stones would be very informative too.
It's certainly a video idea for the future. It is a pretty complicated to nail down pricing without specific in person stones. Paraiba can be incredibly valuable, but it should be a clean stone with reasonble neon blue saturation. Most are looking for a more vibrant almost blue torquise like color. very pretty and cool though!
Hi I want to ask about my ruby ( or sapphire ) a 2 ct unheated gem with a colour of reddish purple with a slight tinge of orange colour, may I know your opinion on this ! What is the value and does those kind of ruby bring so many fr
It is sadly all but impossible to appraise without seeing in person and having time to dig deeper for nicer stones. With that said, the color you are describing is not often one of the more valued ones. I have videos on both Ruby and Sapphire that might give a bit more insight. Best of luck!
I sadly have no specific contact. Best advice is to go with someone who has an established reputation. If you go off price, you are likely to get burned.
While some stones can hold and grow in value over time it is a much more complicated investment than most. You really have to understand both the gems and the markets really well. I generally would not recommend for investment only. Their are just too many variables if you don’t have experience. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work out, but I would focus more on what you want rather than trying to make a growth investment.
Neon Blue Paraiba Tourmalines certified from Brazil are a great investment, because they are getting harder to get over time this resource will possibly dry up. It is pretty rare to get these at over 1 carat and even more so above that, the price hikes exponentially.
@@mickjackson3793 yes, I agree. I think good quality catseye blue tourmaline is another. But what good is an investment in both if you can't sell? Just look at the number of comments on this video asking this very question...Notice no one responds to their comment as well.
If we are talking about dyed stones... which would be one of the few types of color treatments for something like emerald, the price would drop dramatically.
logos That is a bit of a tough question. In large part because if we are talking nicer gemstones you really have to see them in person to know what you’re getting. Because the differences can be very hard to pick up in something like a photo or even a video. If we’re talking lower price gemstones, well that is where online usually comes in a bit more.If you’re just trying to find something inexpensive then you mainly just have to look at the price and assume that you’re not getting something better than what the price as most of the time. If you are wanting something a little bit nicer you can start by looking for a reputable lab report that comes with it (there are a lot of “fake” lab reports. I would stay away from any websites that you don’t really recognize them or know who they are. There is very little disclosure when it comes to selling gemstones online unfortunately. Again, if you’re not trying to get something really nice you probably will get what you pay for.I hope that helps. Thanks for the question!
there is natural blue topaz, the Smithsonian has one that is about 6ft long and about 18in diameter. why didnt you speak about the so called songea sapphire that is deposition treated(coated with some optical plastic).
Yeah those are some great points and interesting things to talk about. natural blue topaz is certainly amazing, especially considering how rare it is. In this particular video I was just trying to hit on some of the more common and major scenarios that we are likely to see. When it comes to gemstones there are a lot of unusual treatments that occasionally pop up. When diffusion treatment in sapphires started, there were a lot of experienced people that initially missed it. That is why it’s important for jewelers to be vigilant about their vendors and sources. Thanks for comment!
If you want and like Good stones than buy one, you get what you pay for. Buy low quality that is what you get, then don't think your stone is worth A lot.
